SCIENCE BEHIND THE PROGRAM
Each module is based on the essential leadership skills distilled from direct experience of coaching and teaching hundreds of executives, founders, and emerging leaders. We use elements of neurocognitive science, mental performance coaching, as well as 40+ years of applied research used to develop our modules.
As a leader who wants to make an impact, you need to solve complex problems quickly, confidently navigate relationships, and inspire your team to smash objectives.
Our curriculum is structured so that each module builds on top of the previous one. We use instructional design best practices and give you specific practices to take on between modules to lock in the learning.
Each module gives you practical tools you can use immediately with your team, stakeholders, investors and clients.

Curriculum
I. Communication Intelligence
Instantly identify different personal communication styles, how they show up when stressed or fatigued, and learn how to authentically influence direct reports, peers, and stakeholders (…and loved ones).
II. Relationship Design
Quickly develop deep, effective relationships, and learn how to re-design existing ones. Eliminate the most common causes of relationship failure, and learn how to increase the retention of your high-performing employees.
III. Mastering Feedback
Hard conversations can cause you to bloat and stress out, but it doesn’t have to be that way. Learn how to easily shape behaviour with our 5-Factor feedback model, and how to use feedback as a method of building a high-performance team culture.
IV. Coaching Skills
All good leaders have a little coach in them. Well, not literally. Transform your leadership by using 2 simple frameworks and learn how to create more impact with less effort. Your employees will thank you, and your board will hold a pizza party in your honour.
V. Crafting Your LeaderBrand
Don’t fly by the seat of your pants, and hope for the best. Leave that for our political leaders. The deep work we do in this module enables you to make better decisions, stay in integrity, and lead so others follow. This is often one of the most transformative leadership moments.
VI. Lift & Thrust
This module is solely focused on building a culture where people feel excited to come to work, are enabled to do their best work, and their leaders actively remove obstacles out of their way. You will learn how to build a diverse, innovative, and high-performance culture in your team, and in your organization.
SYNTHESIS – Final Exam
Your final rite of passage. Before you are endowed with the coveted LinkedIn completion badge, you will be tested on all previous modules. We will throw real-world leadership challenges at you, that you will have to solve using our 6 principles from the accelerator. On completion, you will also receive a “day off” coupon (may not be applicable at your place of work).
I found significant value in validating some of my top differentiators and uncovering a few additional nuggets. By nature, I am a humble leader, and with Ernest’s helpful nudges, I’m in a place now to step forward and claim my strengths with more conviction.
I can see this resource being so helpful for leaders, business owners, and teams when it comes to navigating change with more adaptability by understanding strengths, behaviours, motivations, and understanding differences to partner effectively vs judging them.
Ernest is exceptionally insightful and strategic, an incredible listener, and a true delight to partner with. I would recommend Ernest as a coach for positive change in a heartbeat.
