10-week leadership program
‍
A simple, measurable way to strengthen leadership effectiveness and employee engagement - with minimum operational overhead.

How it works
1) Select your target group: Identify the leaders who will benefit most from focused leadership development.
2) Establish a data-driven baseline: Employees of the team leader complete a short, anonymous pulse survey to capture current engagement.
3) Enable scalable leadership development: Over nine weeks, leaders engage in guided AI sessions—typically ~3 hours total over 8 weeks, with minimal disruption to daily operations.
4) Measure real impact: A follow-up survey in week 9 provides clear, comparable data on engagement improvements.
5) Gain actionable HR insights: Receive a structured report with anonymized cross-team insights, key themes, and concrete recommendations to inform future people and learning initiatives. Themes, hotspots, segment comparisons, and recommended actions.

Pricing
$790 per team leader. Designed to scale—volume discounts up to 40% for larger cohorts available.
