Who Benefits Most?

Wondering if a Strive Leadership Development PROGRAM is the right choice for you?

The answer is YES, if you're in one of these roles: Front Line Managers, VP and Director level as well as Team Leaders and Small Business Owners

There are so many leadership development programs out there.
Why choose us?

The Strive Difference: Most other training programs statistically fail quickly following completion. It takes just a few days to forget newly learned concepts…so, those key concepts are never actually implemented for lasting change. 

Our comprehensive program is built on the belief that practice toward new habits is vital – and it does not happen overnight. In fact, it won’t happen without support, accountability and a variety of tactics to help you live what you learn. That’s what makes us different.

Strive is here to provide ongoing support for the long-term:

Once certified, participants have indefinite access to their course dashboard, their alumni community and monthly Certified Alumni calls.

Our Leadership Program focuses on these Key Areas of Leadership Development:

Self-Reflection

Because impactful leadership starts with you! Discover how to become a GREAT leader by honing your critical thinking skills and practicing intentional self-reflection.

Communication

Gain top-level skills to better articulate yourself with confidence. Understand how to be assertive, establish expectations, set boundaries, show empathy and manage conflict.

Decision-Making

The ability to make smart decisions is, obviously, one of the most crucial leadership attributes. Get tools to consider, weigh, listen, understand, question, collaborate & strategize.

Emotional Intelligence

Emotional Intelligence (EI) isn't just another corporate buzzword. It's essential: of 34 essential workplace skills, EI was found to be the strongest predictor of performance. (TalentSmart)

Workplace Culture

Build and nurture an amazing workplace culture to attract top talent and retain the awesome employees you already have. In today's competitive business world, culture is key to success.

Performance

One of our most popular leadership topics! Learn & practice strategies to delegate, demonstrate accountability, measure performance objectives & address performance issues like a pro.

Build Trust

Why cultivate trust? Because employees in high-trust organizations are more productive, collaborate better with their colleagues, and are less stressed than those working in low-trust organizations. (HBR)

Mentoring

Did you know? 76% of people say mentors are important. Yet only 37% of people currently have one. Learn about personal goals, individual motivators, proper questioning techniques & more.

Time Mastery

A Strive Leadership Development Program doesn't take your time, it GIVES you your time back! Start implementing practical strategies to FINALLY take back control of your time.

Manage Change

Or as I like to say, "Listen, Learn, Plan"! Every leader knows that change is inevitable. Get the insider insight and practical tools you need to navigate our rapidly-evolving, volatile world.

This is Personal...

In the Great Recession, I built a company from nothing – zero to 54 people with $85M revenue per year.

I did this without ever having done it before, not being able to pay top dollar for talent, not having the same resources as my competitors and without much help.

I had to figure things out on my own. There were times I nearly failed, when I spent sleepless nights wondering if we would be closing the doors. 

I want to spend the next year with you to show you and teach you and support you through ALL that it takes to get the results, the successes and the achievements YOU want (& deserve!) in your life.

It’s not just the Strive mission – it’s my personal passion.
