Do you feel like you’re being micro-managed and that your great ideas go unheard? Is your time and energy being drained by putting out fires and supporting your staff that seem unable to solve problems on their own?

We get it.

Here’s HOW to make a change in your work environment.

Leadership is not for the select few at the top. In highly effective organizations, there are leaders at every level. No matter your business position, you can apply the guidelines of Intent Based Leadership and create environments where people contribute and feel valued.
This self-paced course (be sure to check out the curriculum below) will teach you how to create an Intent-Based Leadership® organization, one that results in a work place where everyone engages and contributes their full intellectual capacity. A place where people are healthier and happier because they have more control over their work – a place where everyone is a leader.

Part story-telling, part leadership transformation, part actionable take-aways, this course will leave you reinvigorated to lead, with actionable tools that can be applied immediately. Each lesson is filled with practical advice, exercises and questions that will help show you HOW to create an environment where everyone is a leader.
