Curious? Let’s talk!

Leadership can be fulfilling AND frustrating… even for resourceful, skilled, and creative people. You’re dedicated to making a difference—however you define it—and to supporting the success of your team and your organization. You have ambitious dreams, big plans, and some accomplishments under your belt. And, still, sometimes it feels like you’re on a hamster wheel.

So how will you find the opportunity to invest in your own leadership, and prepare yourself for what’s ahead?

Gauge Leadership Lab is a 12-week program that incorporates a powerful 360° leadership assessment, three full-day workshops, 1:1 coaching, and 12 weekly assignments to amplify your learning. Gather with a small group of peers to invest in your leadership, expand your comfort zone, and champion each other’s learning and growth.

What this program includes

An individualized leadership assessment: The Leadership Circle Profile™, a powerful 360° leadership assessment used by organizations ranging from Google to NASA, the National Wildlife Federation, and beyond.

One-on-one leadership coaching: Three one-on-one sessions to interpret the assessment, articulate opportunities for growth, create a leadership development plan, and build momentum toward your goals.

The Lab:

  • Three full-day workshops spread out over twelve weeks, featuring facilitated discussions, thought-provoking exercises, and lively conversations. Focus areas will include authentic leadership, courageous conflict, and effective collaboration, along with topics that emerge from the group’s interests.
  • Weekly assignments, to amplify your learning and put ideas into action (some solo assignments, some with lab partners from the group.) Assignments range from short readings to reflective practices, small-group conversations, and audacious action steps.
