Coaching for rising leaders ready for the next level.
Demonstrate your commitment to cultivating strong leaders by sponsoring your rising talent and investing in their growth.
Research shows that many professionals feel underutilized in corporate America. They often experience barriers to evaluation, professional development, and promotion.
Feeling unsupported and lacking clear growth opportunities, these valuable employees often leave organizations, making it difficult to meet business and growth objectives.
We developed the Rising Leaders Academy to fill this gap.

Pricing
$2,250-$3,500 per rising leader. This is an organization-level investment in your employees. See below for pricing breakdown.
We understand the problem.
Too often, leadership development efforts center on leaders rather than on employees. Efforts we know spell success - like mentoring, succession planning, and career development for mid-career employees - are commonly ignored. This leads to two big problems:
-
Most organizations struggle to provide clear career progression for mid-level employees, causing frustration and disengagement.
- A lack of investment in mid-career employees leads to skill gaps in leadership, making it harder to fill senior roles internally — no clear pathway upward for employees, and no pipeline from which the company can draw for promotion into leadership.
We've developed the solution.
These realities got us thinking. In addition to working with leaders to design and execute elegant and effective development programs, we need a way to partner with mid-level, emergent leaders who are the most likely to fall through the cracks.
We've developed a comprehensive curriculum to address these specific corporate pain points, including:
Organizational ROI
Send a loud and clear message showing your authentic commitment to your emerging leaders. By sponsoring your next generation of business innovators, you will:
- Lower emerging leader attrition;
- Create a robust pipeline of internal leaders;
- Create a greater sense loyalty, commitment, and performance;
- Increase visibility and credibility for candidates looking to join you.
How it Works
Executive leadership coaching + skills training + community networking & support
Live & Virtual Offerings
Participants can join us no matter where they live or work. Most organizations opt to have at least one session in person, and most sessions conducted live via zoom. The live calls (90 minutes) are recorded and shared only within the group. The program lasts 6-9 months with a cadence of one meeting per month that allows for consistency but prevents overwhelm.
Practical and Actionable Results
By the end of the program, participants will be ready to share their unique value, navigate their way to promotion and success, and have the tools needed to communicate effectively.
Community-Focused
The isolation of being the only (or one of a few) rising leaders takes its toll. This program introduces participants to a community of like-minded professionals, with similar stories of triumph and struggle, who they can rely on for kinship, and who will become key members of their professional network.
Transformational results await.
We will help rising leaders identify their unique strengths and teach how to to appreciate and communicate their value.
As seasoned professionals, we know the hurdles rising leaders face and will teach how to jump over them with ease.
It is critical that rising leaders understand how their business operates and how to contribute to the success of an organization.
We will discuss common pitfalls such as how to combat imposter syndrome, how to strengthen resilience, and how to battle perfectionism.
