How This Leadership Program Is Different?
It’s not about skills training.
This program is a series of conversations and experiences. The conversations clarify what leadership involves and how to lead. Then you experience leading and collaborating effectively, in practice.

How It Works
How Leaders Are Forged
You could characterize The Being An Extraordinary Leader program as a leadership laboratory. It employs a new science of leadership, based on the study of ontology and phenomenology. This roughly translates into the study of “who you are being”.
You’ll discover that real leadership does not rely on your position, title, money, or any of the personality traits often attributed to leaders. You’ll learn how to define leadership as a repeatable construct.
In this program, conventional ways of thinking are challenged and new ways of thinking emerge. The process results in your exercising leadership effectively as your natural self-expression.
Program Structure
In-Person Program
The program consists of 2 three-day working sessions, separated by 4 to 8 weeks. Sessions are accompanied by one-on-one coaching. To maximize the opportunity for cross-disciplinary-learning, there are three group webinars/coaching sessions with the other participants.
Additionally, you receive one-on-one coaching on a personal leadership initiative, “something big”. This work helps you embody what leadership looks like (on-the-court) as you define and advance your initiative in previously unimaginable ways.
Online Program
The online program has the equivalent of seven online workshop days spread over approximately three months. There is a pre-program coaching session to help tailor the Being an Exceptional Leader program to fit your needs. Additionally, coaching on how to implement the distinctions from the program into “real life” and additional 1-on-1 video coaching is provided upon request.
Note: There are approximately 185 pages of reading and related study assignments to be completed prior to Day #1
Our Promise
We promise you will leave this program being a leader and exercising leadership effectively as your natural self-expression.
Frequently Asked Questions
Ontology is the study of the nature of being and becoming. In this program, your way of being is the source of your behaviours. Rather than wrestling with what skill to use when, you focus on your ways of being.
Phenomenology is the study of the development of consciousness and self-awareness. Consciously choosing your ways of being is what enables the practice of leadership.
