Personal Leadership

Sessions include a personality assessment, emotional intelligence, public speaking and goal setting.

Leading Others

Sessions to include developing a rockstar team, instinctual leadership and conflict management.

Leading a Business

Sessions to include strategic planning, hiring best practices and workplace culture.

*Sessions subject to change based on speaker availability and needs of the Bootcamp participants. 


Here’s what previous graduates of Leadership Bootcamp had to say:

“This program is a great opportunity to develop leadership skills and form lasting relationship with fellow leaders in the community. I would highly recommend the program to anyone interested in personal and professional development!”

“The program was great as it gave me practical tools that I could take back to my office and begin implementing immediately. It also gave me a great deal of insight into my management style and how I could be more effective.”

“A must have for anyone making the transition from employee to management”
