A 12-week cohort-based program for managers early in their leadership journey. Weekly lessons, peer coaching, and on-the-job application — designed to fit inside your current role.
The Foundations Program is built for professionals who are stepping into leadership — or preparing to. Most participants bring 3–10 years of experience and are ready to grow through feedback and real-world application.
You've recently moved into a leadership role and want a structured path to build confidence and skills.
You lead projects or teams informally and want the frameworks and habits to lead more effectively.
You're preparing for a management role and want to build leadership habits before the title arrives.
The Foundations Program is delivered virtually in a cohort setting. Each week follows the same structured rhythm — short enough to complete without disrupting your day, meaningful enough to create real change.
12 weeks — one focused session per week
Approximately 1 hour per week — no multi-day retreats or travel
Fully virtual, cohort-based with live peer coaching sessions
8–12 participants per cohort for optimal peer interaction
