Leaders Are BUILT
Not Born
We train hard-tech leaders to build teams
capable of solving the world’s hardest problems
Technical Challenges Aren't Your Problem
Leadership Challenges Are
Projects and companies rarely fail because of technical challenges that couldn’t be solved. They fail because leaders, at the executive level, mid-level, or the frontline, were not effective. And usually, it isn’t the fault of the leaders. The simple fact is no one ever taught them what they needed to do. The results of this skill gap show up differently in every organization but are easy to see.
Moving forward requires...
It isn't enough to want to make your leaders better.
You have to identify clear skills your leaders need to create the performance you desire.
FOUNDERS & EXECUTIVES
Top level leaders need to learn how to translate vision into clear strategy, align teams around priorities, and build an organization that can scale beyond their direct control.
MID-LEVEL LEADERS
Directors and Senior Managers need to learn how to turn strategy into coordinated execution across their teams while also making the transition to being a leader of leaders.
FRONTLINE MANAGERS
Supervisors and managers have to juggle their individual projects while still learning the leadership fundamentals of building trust, setting clear expectations, and giving feedback.
What We Provide
Keynote Speaking
A great does more than inspire people. It moves them to action while giving them a clear roadmap for how they can start improving immediately. Matt’s keynotes combine real stories from aviation, aerospace, and high-performing teams with practical frameworks leaders can apply immediately.
What you can expect:
- Relevant examples and stories to make lessons come alive
- Practical frameworks leaders can apply immediately
- Participants who feel energized and inspired
Workshops & Programs
Most development programs fail because they lack the two crucial elements of effective training, practice and repeated exposure. Our workshops are designed to engage participants and frequently repeat the same message to help build skills in a practical and interactive way.
What you can expect:
- A focus on leadership behaviors over knowledge and theory
- Real time practice of tactics and tools
- Repeated follow-up and measurement of change
Defining Leadership
The most important part of any development program is knowing what your goals are. When it comes to leadership, that means you need to clearly define what leadership is in your organization and where skill gaps currently exist. We have a proven process for partnering with organizations to help them do just that.
What you can expect:
- Alignment around your organization's definition of leadership
- Identification of priority skill gaps in your current leaders
- A roadmap for how you can close those gaps
I can honestly say, contracting with them was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made...
