Courage Leading to Improved Mastery of Business

The CLIMB Journey

Designed for Focus and Impact

CLIMB isn’t a crowded conference—it’s an intensive, small-group experience limited to leadership teams from no more than three organizations. This format ensures every conversation is relevant, every challenge gets attention, and every participant is actively engaged. You’ll step away from daily distractions into an environment built for candor, collaboration, and breakthrough thinking. With all logistics handled, you can focus fully on the work that matters: building the courage, alignment, and accountability your organization needs to thrive.


Here's exactly what happens:

Dig Deeper Into the CLIMB Experience

You’ve seen the big picture—now explore what each CLIMB module delivers. Below, you’ll find a closer look at the skills, mindsets, and tools your leadership team will gain, along with the lasting changes those capabilities can create across your organization. Each module is intentionally designed to address a specific barrier to high performance, ensuring that every step of the journey builds toward a culture of courage, alignment, and sustained results.

  • Module 1 - Setting the Stage

    "Setting the Stage" builds the learning foundation for the entire program. We dive deep into the critical role of culture, examining the strengths and gaps in your current culture to set the path for lasting transformation.


    We establish a clear, shared understanding of where their culture stands—and where it needs to go. This clarity eliminates the hidden misalignments that cause confusion, slow execution, and create pockets of disengagement. Participants will see more consistent messaging, better alignment on priorities, and a noticeable reduction in the “mixed signals” that often stall progress. By naming both the strengths to build on and the gaps to close, teams can finally work from the same playbook, accelerating trust and making cultural change far easier to sustain.

  • Module 2 - Leaning In

    "Leaning-In" lays the groundwork for driving results by building clarity and capability. We focus on the systems and practices that support courageous action and align teams with the organization’s vision for sustained success.


    During this module, we'll work toward replacing hesitation with proactive engagement. We'll tackle the costly pattern of avoiding hard conversations, where unresolved issues quietly erode trust and slow decision-making. As participants bring these skills back to their teams, they’ll see barriers break down, collaboration deepen, and conversations shift from guarded and tentative to open and productive. The result is a culture where problems are addressed early, opportunities are seized faster, and alignment with the organization’s vision becomes a lived, daily reality.

  • Module 3 - Leading Well

    "Leading Well" explores the essential role leaders play in shaping a courageous culture. This module focuses on developing leadership qualities and practices that inspire bold actions and foster a strong and fearless organization.


    We'll close the gap between intention and impact—a gap that often breeds frustration, disengagement, and skepticism within teams. Participants will learn the importance of leading with consistency, clarity, and authenticity, even under pressure. As a result, their teams will notice steadier direction, clearer expectations, and improved modeling of the behaviors they ask of others. This consistency builds trust, strengthens credibility, and creates an environment where people feel safe to step up, take ownership, and contribute at their highest level.

  • Module 4 - Building Accountability

    "Building Accountability" examines the role of accountability among both leaders and employees in fueling success. We focus on creating the mindset and practices that empower teams to take ownership and consistently deliver results.


    We'll explore the difference between top-down enforcement and shared team commitment and address the common problem of leaders feeling like they have to “police” performance, while team members quietly avoid ownership. When these practices are implemented, peer-to-peer accountability becomes the norm—standards are upheld not because they’re mandated, but because the team values excellence. This shift reduces micromanagement, increases trust, and ensures that progress doesn’t stall when leaders step out of the room.

  • Module 5 - Empowering Decision-making

    "Empowering Decision-Making" equips leaders with the tools to elevate decision quality across their teams. We focus on setting clear parameters and driving decision-making capabilities deeper into the organization for stronger, more confident leadership at all levels.


    Bottlenecks slow progress and frustrate teams. We'll addresses the paralysis that happens when decisions are endlessly deferred or pushed up the chain, leaving opportunities on the table. Clarifying decision processes and best practices enable a culture where decisions are made with confidence and speed. Teams experience fewer delays, clearer direction, and the freedom to act without second-guessing—resulting in faster execution and greater adaptability in changing conditions.

  • Module 6 - Creating Collaboration

    "Creating Collaboration" highlights the power of diverse perspectives and collective problem-solving. This module focuses on fostering connections across the organization, driving stronger teamwork and better operational outcomes.


    We'll break down the silos and turf wars that quietly drain energy, duplicate work, and stall progress. Participants will learn how to replace guarded information-sharing with transparency and mutual trust, making it easier for teams to align around shared goals. Back in the workplace, this shift creates smoother handoffs, faster problem-solving, and a stronger sense of collective ownership. Teams will stop competing for credit and start working together to deliver results that no single department could achieve alone.

  • Module 7 - Addressing Challenges

    "Addressing Challenges", highlights the importance of leadership in confronting problems head-on. We focus on developing resilience and problem-solving capabilities to reduce risk and keep your organization moving forward.


    When leaders excel at Addressing Challenges, they turn tension and conflict from a source of frustration into a driver of progress. We'll tackle the common tendency to avoid or sugarcoat problems, which often allows them to grow unchecked. By learning how to challenge ideas without shaming people, leaders create an environment where obstacles are surfaced early and handled constructively. As a result, teams will gain resilience, stay focused under pressure, and become more willing to take on difficult issues—knowing they can address them without damaging trust or morale.



  • Module 8 - Making Room for Innovation

    "Making Room for Innovation" focuses on instilling experimentation and development within the culture. This is about equipping leaders to foster innovation, ensuring long-term stability and keeping your business competitive in a constantly evolving market."


    This module frees teams from the grip of perfectionism and fear of failure—two forces that quietly suffocate creativity and slow progress. Leaders learn to foster curiosity, encourage experimentation, and create safe spaces for testing new ideas without the risk of major setbacks. This approach sparks fresh thinking, accelerates problem-solving, and builds a culture where smart risks are embraced. Over time, teams become more agile, adaptable, and ready to seize opportunities that others might miss.

  • Module 9 - Implementing the Plan

    "Implementing the Plan" is all about turning learning into lasting results. We help participants create clear, actionable steps so the practices they’ve gained stick and lead to meaningful, long-term success.


    Participants will leave the room with more than inspiration—they'll have a clear, practical roadmap to apply what they’ve learned. This module solves the common problem of training that never makes it past the workshop by guiding participants to define concrete cultural commitments, assign ownership, and establish short-term milestones. This clarity keeps momentum high, ensures early wins are visible, and prevents new behaviors from fading into “business as usual.” This is about turning ideas into action from day one.
