About Us
Building Leader. Aligning Teams. Transforming Organizations.
Leadership today isn't about eliminating tensions—it's about thriving within them. The most effective organizations don't choose between stability and change, autonomy and alignment, or structure and flexibility. Rather, they develop leaders who navigate these polarities with confidence and purpose.
Our Vision and Mission
Vision
To catalyze a new era of organizational effectiveness where adaptive leadership creates sustainable results and meaningful experiences.
Mission
We improve business performance by developing leaders and aligning teams–helping organizations thrive amid constant change.
Who We Are
Agile Leadership Journey transforms organizations by developing adaptive leaders and aligning teams. Founded by Pete Behrens, our roots extend back more than two decades of leadership development expertise. What began as a curriculum for leadership workshops has evolved into a global movement with more than 45 guides delivering our approach across continents.
Born from Pete's vision to reach and catalyze more leaders, Agile Leadership Journey was launched in 2018 and formally established as a Colorado-based organization in 2021. Our approach draws on three decades of research and has been validated by over 15,000 leaders worldwide.
Today, we help organizations address their most pressing challenges—whether accelerating time-to-market, breaking down silos, navigating digital transformation, or retaining key talent. We identify the precise leadership capabilities needed to drive measurable improvements in decision speed, cross-functional collaboration, and execution of strategic priorities.

Our Leadership Trainers & Coaches
What began as a vision to catalyze more leaders has grown into a global movement. Our worldwide network of leadership trainers and coaches brings our proven, research-backed curriculum to organizations across continents. Each of our guides is a select professional with substantial leadership experience, an established practice, and a commitment to organizational transformation.
Our guides deliver consistent, high-quality experiences in multiple languages with cultural sensitivity and local market understanding. Whether your organization operates in a single location or spans the globe, our network ensures you receive the same exceptional support that has helped transform thousands of leaders worldwide.
Our Inside-Out Approach
Our inside-out approach builds sustainable internal capability rather than consultant dependency. We begin at the highest leadership levels, establishing alignment that cascades throughout your organization. This journey-based approach creates space for leaders to experiment and evolve while addressing real business challenges.
We meet leaders where they are, developing both the mindset and capability needed to navigate complexity with confidence. By focusing on practical application rather than theory, we help organizations transform from within, creating lasting change that becomes part of your DNA.
The result?
Accelerated decision-making, improved cross-functional collaboration, human-centered cultures, and a sustainable transformation that delivers tangible ROI long after our engagement ends.
The Leadership Journey Curriculum
Our curriculum draws on proven research models including leadership agility, neuroleadership principles, conflict resolution approaches, and organizational culture studies. We bring this research to life through the Leadership Journey Compass™—a navigation tool that guides leaders through the interconnected dimensions of effective leadership: developing catalyst habits, cultivating a growth mindset, aligning around shared values, and improving how work gets done.
This compass provides practical orientation for leaders at every level, helping them identify where to focus their development and how personal leadership growth connects to organizational results. It's a tool for ongoing navigation, not a one-time roadmap—supporting leaders as they continuously adapt and grow.

Our Values in Action
At Agile Leadership Journey, our core values guide how we operate internally and engage with clients. These principles directly support our vision to catalyze a new era of organizational effectiveness where adaptive leadership creates sustainable results and meaningful experiences.
These values shape every partnership and practice—guiding how we help leaders and teams adapt faster, collaborate better, and create more human-centered, resilient organizations.
Giving Forward
Our values extend beyond client work. We believe all people deserve respect and that we're all responsible for the world we live and work in. That's why we give forward—committing 5% of our profits and our time to support nonprofit organizations addressing critical social challenges in our communities.
We also believe that when leaders from for-profit and nonprofit sectors connect, everyone grows stronger. Through our programs, we bring together corporate and mission-oriented leaders, creating opportunities for shared learning and community building that transcends sectors.
Equitable Global Pricing
Our commitment to inclusion extends to how we price our programs. We believe leadership development should be accessible to dedicated professionals worldwide, regardless of where they live. That's why our global programs use pricing informed by the United Nations' Inequality-adjusted Human Development Index (IHDI), which accounts for differences in health, education, and income across countries. This approach ensures fair, equitable access to our programs while allowing us to sustain our mission of developing leaders globally—supporting professionals who are driving positive change in their organizations and communities.
