Program Description

As an accomplished professional, you have a track record of getting the job done, delivering results and being tapped to lead tough tasks, especially in a demanding environment. Yet you’re never quite where you want to be – you’re seen as a high-level problem solver but not always as an authority. Or perhaps, you’re in positional authority but are spread thin among lower-level tasks without time or support to focus on the one thing that truly matters to your deeper purpose.

The world of work is full of fires right now – industry challenges, organizational restructuring, and staff disengagement, but you do not have to be consumed.

What if you could use this moment in time to hone in on your unique ability, do less of the busy work that pulls you away from the change you’re here to lead, and step into the authority that this next season requires?

This is exactly why I created Next Level Leader Academy for you. 

Next Level Leader Academy is the leadership framework you can revisit again and again as your leadership progressively expands and your purpose evolves. With this transformational toolkit, you will be resilient to career-life changes and stay grounded in who you are and the work you’re here to do.

With our integrated work-life planning methodology, you’ll go through a 12-week experiential learning program that will set you up for professional success that is both impact-driven and truly fulfilling.

Our Framework

• Identify your next Peak Professional Moment.

  You’re not new to accomplishing important projects and tasks, but what if you tapped into a rare moment where you’re flowing in your genius, collaborating synergistically with value-aligned and driven colleagues like you, and relishing a breakthrough result you’ve created on an issue or innovation that matters to your purpose? Let’s discover your peak professional moment, so you have a vision of your preferred future to fuel your focus, boundaries and activities through leadership ups and downs.

• Zero in on your Unique Ability and Unique Perspective.

  Instead of spreading your genius across many projects, committees, and tasks, we will decide where your genius and your talent are best applied now. Rather than feeling overwhelmed by the many options and requests for your talent, let’s narrow down the field to exactly what you want to experience in your career.

• Upgrade your Executive Visibility. 

  Perhaps you’ve fallen into the trap of believing that your good work will eventually be recognized and rewarded, or you feel invisible while your colleagues are promoted,  or you struggle to gain support for your ideas, or you lack the presence to carry a leadership role.  You’ve played the background long enough.  Let’s identify your professional pillars and your authentic brand of executive presence so you present yourself and your ideas confidently at any leadership table. 

• Define your Signature Initiative.

  You’re constantly called on to fight tough fires and solve mission-critical problems, but that’s got you in the weeds and busier than ever. What if you were called on for your top skills and insights that you want to be known for, not all the disparate things you can contribute to? Together we’ll define a core professional result you can achieve within the next year that focuses your efforts and elevates your impact.

• Set your Growth & Wellness Targets.

  Purpose is not meant to crush you. To succeed in the peaks and valleys of leadership you must know your areas of leadership strength and development, and you need a well-being practice to support your growth. Rather than feeling crushed by purpose, let’s identify a simplified growth and wellness path tailored to your unique needs for rejuvenation and refueling.

Imagine yourself six months from now.

How would it feel to have an inbox chiming with invitations from people and organizations you admire for exactly the thing you’ve always imagined?

Imagine your executive leadership team restructuring your role, tailoring it to suit your top, most fulfilling skills that will also deliver breakthrough results for your organization– a win-win for all involved.

What would it feel like to pioneer that change that makes the difference in your industry, organization, or constituent group?

How would it feel if at the end of the day when your head hits the pillow you rest feeling fully alive in your purpose, connected to people who value you and get you, and fully present in personal joys outside of work?

What would it feel like to have people just like you – like-focused and like-hearted – to celebrate your wins and help you navigate the tricky parts of leadership when needed?

At Next Level Leader Academy, you will gain the tools to make your vision a reality and be surrounded by accomplished, purpose-driven high-level thinkers like you.
