Experiences will vary based on which course you take. Instead of cramming your course into one intensive workshop, we intentionally spread it out so that you learn in smaller chunks. We believe this approach gives you the time to try new things and reflect on your learning. It also gives you more time build deeper connections with your cohort. Refer to your outline for course-specific information and recommendations.

Unless otherwise noted, our courses are open to anyone. Management and leadership principles are transferrable to many different contexts. We take adventurers who work in for-profit corporate settings and those who work in for-impact organizations (e.g., libraries, museums, charities, etc.). Who knows who you might meet?

Some of our courses are online-only experiences (e.g., Whitewater). Other courses, are hybrid offerings which feature an in-person learning experience as part of the program (e.g., LLEAD). Refer to your course outline or the course page for more information.

As soon as you register you will be granted access to the first module which orients you to the course objectives and expectations. Note: some of our courses use a drip schedule to prevent people from jumping ahead and keep the cohort moving along at the same pace.

Some of our courses feature facilitated conversations with your cohort led by an experienced guide. These conversations happen at consistent times each week. The dates and times are scheduled before the course begins so there should be no surprises. We do not record these sessions, the point is to do the learning together in real time.

When a course sells out, you can still contact us to join a waiting list. If a spot becomes available before the course begins, we will reach out to the first name on the waiting list. Once the course begins, we close the waiting list – you can’t join mid-course.

Yes, that’s the whole point. You are only going to get better leading team conversations if you put these tools into practice.

Yes, you can download a fancy certificate of completion, but the true markers of success are the leadership practices you implement and the network of supportive colleagues you build along the way.
