"What is so different and makes the Leadership Collective experience stand out for me is the opportunity to join a group of people in the same general place on their career journey. This is the secret sauce because it makes the learning together more impactful... All egos are checked at the door. No one’s trying to prove anything...This is powerful because we can show up as who we are as individuals, which creates the space for rich open and honest dialogue. It makes this an environment that just can’t be replicated.”

Brian Stahulak, Chief Nursing Officer at Lurie Children's Hospital 

"As a leader, I know that I am ready for the next steps in my career... Being in a program that encourages more self-reflection has been very powerful.

The 360° assessment really helped me see some gaps and blind spots. I was definitely ready for the feedback and to get working on the next steps. I've been able to do detailed action planning that helps me focus on my goals. This is just what I needed."

Brian Barthelt, Managing Director at The Marketing Store 

"The Leadership Collective was one of the best investments I've ever made in my development as a leader. The collection of speakers and the knowledge shared throughout the program has allowed me to refine my own leadership approach for the better. I've seen profound development for myself and my team as a result."

KELLEY BUCHANAN, vice president enterprise segmentation leader, usaa 

“The Leadership Collective has been an important part of my development as a leader. It is a unique combination of coaching, mentoring, career pathing all wrapped around a peer relationship framework.  It’s a "safe space" to explore the unique challenges of addressing your current professional landscape while reaching into your future potential with access to leaders with inspiring backgrounds. Our meetings have made a real impact on me.”

Jeffrey wright, CEO, gold leaf capital partners

“You can’t even quantify the impact this experience will have on you personally and professionally. You will be in a close group with some of the most driven and accomplished professionals you’ve met, in a variety of diverse fields that will broaden your understanding of management and leadership. The time commitment will pay dividends in productivity, enhanced critical thinking, and relationships to improve your skills and grow your business. The financial commitment is inconsequential when compared with the new business opportunities and the access to world-class decision-makers and leaders across different disciplines. The wisdom you can gain from hearing CEOs tell honest, vulnerable stories about their successes and failures will give you comfort and encouragement when reflecting on your own journey.

The professional and personal development I gained from taking time to invest in this program was more than I could have imagined. The access to other leaders in the cohort and the speakers’ insights really expanded my scope of what was possible and at what level I am playing. The best practices and goals and perspectives of the group pushed me to think bigger, and having access to the group to ask follow-up questions made a huge difference in my personal and professional growth.

Participating in this experience was truly an honor and I would encourage anyone looking to professionally mature and expand their reach to consider The Leadership Collective.”
