Leadership Training and Development Programs

About Our Leadership Training, Development and Coaching Programs

Agile Leadership Journey™ develops more creative, adaptive and resilient leaders through training and coaching. We start by educating and empowering team, organizational, and executive leaders in addition to those leading in unique, non-traditional managerial roles. The purpose of this education and empowerment is to help change their own thinking and behaviors, shaping micro-cultures through more effective engagements. Essentially, we build better, more effective leaders.


Our engaging and interactive leadership training programs offer three levels of engagement and development:


Our leadership training programs provide tools to understand and shape their organization or team-based culture for agility and change. Rather than teaching agile methods to leaders, we focus on emotional intelligence and the mindset of leaders. As a result, we enable leadership potential that fosters more agile ways of working.


We believe that leadership style can be developed, and it is our goal to inspire, educate and coach leaders to improve their effectiveness in leading change.


We believe that learning is never done. Although a leadership training program or coaching session may be complete, the practice of agile leadership is ongoing. While we do award badges and certificates upon completion of our leadership development programs, this is not representative of the idea that the work is complete. In fact, it represents a foundation that the rest of the work will be built upon.


We believe that agile is a mindset, not simply a workflow practice. Although aspects of our curriculum may be familiar to those who know agile processes in the software development or tech space, our programs are designed for anyone in a leadership or influence role regardless of industry.
