The Whole Leader Lab
An 8-Week Program for Clear Decision-Making
Strengthening how leaders choose, act, and lead as conditions change.
The Whole Leader Lab
An 8-Week Leadership Lab for Better Decisions, Moment by Moment
Leadership rarely breaks down in big moments.
It breaks down in small decisions made under demand.
This Lab strengthens how you decide as conditions change.
Not by adding more frameworks.
By restoring steadiness, attention, and choice.
You’ll practice making deliberate decisions over time.
With more consistency.
With less internal friction.
Starts Friday, February 27
Fridays, 12–1pm ET
8 weeks. Live online. Recordings provided
A dash of humor is included.
Because people learn better when they can breathe.
What Changes Because of This Lab
Most leadership training adds information.
This Lab builds capacity.
Capacity to think clearly when pressure is on.
Capacity to stay steady instead of reactive.
Capacity to lead without paying for it later -
with your health, energy, or credibility.
Stress is treated as information.
Not weakness.
Not something to override.
That shift alone changes how leaders function.
The pervasive presence of stress in workplace cultures detrimentally affects humans - therefore families, work, and communities.
Stress costs U.S. businesses over $300 billion annually, a significant impact of stress on both organizations and individuals.
What You’ll Walk Away With
By the end of eight weeks, participants consistently report:
Clearer decision-making under pressure
Fewer stress-driven reactions
Stronger conversations with less friction
More confidence saying yes and no
A leadership operating plan that actually holds
Calm is not a personality trait here.
It’s a practiced skill.
How the Lab Works
This is a lab, not a lecture.
Each week includes:
Live facilitation
Real-time coaching
Peer dialogue
Application to current, real leadership challenges
You do not prepare in advance.
You bring what is already happening at work (and if it’s happening at work it’s happening at home).
That’s the material.
