2026 Leadership Workshop Curriculum
Our interactive leadership workshops focus on the everyday challenges managers face—from communication and delegation to accountability, influence, and conflict resolution.
The 2026 curriculum offers ten practical workshops designed to help emerging leaders build confidence and skills they can apply immediately.
The 2027 workshop program is currently being developed.
All workshops are Wednesdays, 10:00 AM–12:00 PM
Jan 14 — The Authentic Manager
Learn how to lead as your best self—calm, clear, and real—without putting on a “boss mask.” You’ll identify your strengths, stress habits, and a simple leadership style you can use immediately.
Feb 11 — Leading Yourself First
If you can’t manage yourself, you can’t manage others. Learn practical ways to stay steady under pressure, set boundaries, and protect your energy so you show up as the leader your team needs.
Mar 11 — Communication That Works
Make your communication clear, kind, and hard to misunderstand. You’ll practice simple tools for setting expectations, listening well, and preventing drama before it starts.
Apr 15 — Feedback Without Drama
Learn how to give feedback that helps people improve—without blame—and how to receive feedback without getting defensive. You’ll practice a short feedback script and coaching questions you can use right away.
May 13 — Managing People Basics
Get the core “people management” basics: roles, expectations, accountability, and follow-through. Learn how to handle issues early—fairly, clearly, and with respect.
Jun 10 — Delegation Without Micromanaging
Delegation is how leaders grow teams. Learn how to assign work with clear goals and guardrails, so people own the job—and you don’t get stuck re-doing it.
Aug 12 — Culture by Design
Culture is built in everyday moments: what you tolerate, what you praise, and what you correct. Learn how to set team standards and create a workplace people are proud of.
Sep 9 — Leading with WHY
People work harder when the work means something. Learn how to connect tasks to purpose, so your team understands the “why” and shows up with more commitment.
Nov 11 — Influence & Leadership Perception
Leadership is not just what you do—it’s how people experience you. Learn how to build trust, increase influence, and align stakeholders by matching your intent with your impact.
Dec 9 — Conflict, Humility, and Repair
Hard conversations are part of leadership. Learn how to stay calm, speak honestly, and repair issues fast—without needing to “win” or be right.
