Not for Everyone: Transformative Leadership Development for the Deeply Curious
Looking for the Black Squirrels of Leadership (IYKYK)
I have a few slots remaining in the SHIFT experience, and lately, people have been asking me, “Who’s it for? Who would be an ideal fit?” It’s a great question because this isn’t for everyone. It’s designed for leaders who want to go beyond the basics, dive deep, and truly transform how they lead in today’s fast-changing world. The course begins the week of September 16th.
I’ve always been drawn to the idea that being different is a strength. My undergraduate college, Sarah Lawrence, had a tagline: “You’re different, so are we.”
This approach has shaped my work, life, and career in Organizational Psychology and leadership development. Over the years, I’ve worked with leaders who gravitate toward standard, off-the-shelf leadership courses. They want something quick and easy—a way to check a box and move on. But the leaders I work with best are those who crave more—those who are ready to dive deep, challenge the status quo, and push themselves to grow in unexpected ways. My work reflects that.
The SHIFT experience isn’t for those looking for a shortcut. It’s designed for leaders eager to go beyond surface-level concepts. This means not just talking about psychological safety but understanding the neuroscience that supports it. Not just adopting a growth mindset, but learning the practical ways to prioritize the skills you and your organization need for the future. SHIFT equips leaders with adaptive tools, grounded in research and real-world application, to help them navigate today’s complex and rapidly evolving environment. This is not just learning for the sake of it—it’s about real, lasting transformation.
Who thrives in the SHIFT experience?
Leadership Enthusiasts who are passionate about continuously evolving their leadership practice.
Boundary-Breakers excited to explore concepts like adaptive leadership, alongside somatic experiencing and self-regulation.
Visionaries who think beyond today’s challenges and focus on building the skills needed for future uncertainty.
Deep Learners who value personalized, high-touch learning with leadership assessments, coaching, and tailored action plans.
Lifelong Learners who understand leadership is a journey and are committed to continuous growth.
This pilot offers a deeply personalized approach, like the Sarah Lawrence of leadership development. It’s not a one-size-fits-all course but a small, carefully curated group experience designed for leaders seeking deep, meaningful growth.
The SHIFT experience is for those ready to dive into the depths of leadership and transform not just how they lead today, but how they will continue to lead in the future.
We have a few spots left for the upcoming SHIFT experience, and the application deadline is one week from today. If you're ready for a leadership transformation, now’s the time to act.
Remember, SHIFT isn’t for everyone. But for those ready to push boundaries and want real transformation, it’s full service.
A key aspect of the SHIFT experience is how it uniquely blends systems thinking and self-awareness. For leaders dealing with complex, change-resistant environments, understanding both personal dynamics and organizational systems is critical to creating real impact.
