From Our Executive Leadership Accelerator Alumni

"This course has really just changed the trajectory of my life and my career"

"Leadership was a very abstract concept to me that I didn't quite understand, but I've gained a much deeper understanding of who I am as a leader and how that aligns with my personal and professional values. It's been great to have a safe space where I can develop that confidence and feel safe to be my authentic self."

Mary A Insurance Industry Leader

"I finally found my strategic voice after 20+ years in my organization"

"Today I was able to clearly articulate why we need to pursue a direction and what will happen if we don't—I got immediate buy-in where before I only got polite reception. This program helped me unload baggage I'd been carrying for over 20 years and really think about what brings me joy and what I need to succeed."

Barbara Banking Professional

"I actually grieve that it's ending because I want more"

"When I find a good book and I'm done with it, I actually grieve because I want more—that's how this course is. It's not 'oh my gosh, I can't wait to get to the end,' it's 'where's the sequel?' That speaks to the quality and how you supported us to find our authentic voice and use it."

STILL HAVE QUESTIONS?

    General Questions

  • What is an Executive HR Leadership Intensive?

    An HR Leadership Intensive is a comprehensive, results-focused program specifically designed to transform HR professionals from traditional people management to strategic organizational leadership. Unlike conventional HR training that focuses on compliance and administrative skills, an HR leadership intensive addresses the unique challenges that HR leaders face in driving transformation without formal authority over key stakeholders.

    These specialized programs focus on four critical leadership dimensions that traditional HR development often overlooks: leading yourself with authentic authority, leading others through influence and collaboration, leading strategically within organizations to drive systemic change, and leading transformation in today's AI-driven workplace. The intensive format compresses what typically takes years of incremental growth into an accelerated, cohort-based experience that delivers immediate strategic impact.

    Strategic leadership development for HR professionals has become essential because organizations desperately need HR leaders who can drive business results through people strategy. Yet, many HR professionals remain trapped in operational roles despite having the potential to become strategic business partners. An HR Leadership Intensive bridges this gap by developing the specific competencies that distinguish strategic HR leaders from administrative managers.

    The importance of these programs cannot be overstated in today's business environment. With the rise of AI reshaping the workforce, organizations need HR leaders who can navigate complex transformation, integrate human potential with technological advancement, and position people strategy as a competitive advantage. HR professionals bring unique insights into organizational dynamics and human capability, yet many struggle to translate this expertise into strategic influence and executive credibility.

    A well-designed HR Leadership Intensive provides the frameworks, voice integration methodology, and strategic thinking capabilities that enable HR professionals to claim their rightful place as catalysts for transformation. These programs don't just teach skills—they transform professional identity, unlock authentic leadership possibilities, and create the confidence necessary to drive organizational change at the highest levels.

  • Can We Bring This Program to Our In-House HR Team?

    Absolutely! Our HR Leadership Intensive is available as both an 8-week accelerator program and a comprehensive in-house development solution designed to integrate seamlessly with your existing HR and leadership initiatives. This program serves as the perfect complement to traditional HR development, addressing the specific challenges that HR professionals face in becoming strategic business partners and transformation leaders.

    Four Strategic Leadership Dimensions

    Our program uniquely focuses on developing HR professionals across four critical leadership dimensions that most corporate training overlooks:

    • Leading Self: Building authentic authority, executive presence, and strategic self-advocacy in HR roles
    • Leading Others: Developing cross-functional influence, stakeholder engagement, and collaborative leadership skills
    • Leading Within Organizations: Mastering organizational dynamics, strategic navigation, and positioning HR as an indispensable business partner
    • Leading Transformation: Driving AI-era workforce transformation and innovation leadership through people strategy

    Customizable for Every HR Role

    The HR leadership intensive can be fully customized to meet your organization's specific needs and target different HR leadership levels:

    HR Business Partners: Focus on building strategic influence, stakeholder management, and cross-functional leadership without formal authority.

    Senior HR Leaders: Emphasis on C-suite communication, board-level presence, and positioning HR as strategic business driver.

    Rising HR Professionals: Intensive support for those transitioning from operational roles to strategic leadership, addressing confidence gaps and developing executive competencies.
