Program Overview

Who is this Leadership Fast Track program for?

The Leadership Fast Track Program is designed for business professionals who want to accelerate their ability to lead their teams, influence others, and deliver results.

Every organization has them. People who are high potentials—those that show the promise of being able to have an even greater influence on the job. Or people who are in leadership roles but they need someone to partner with to help them be even more effective.

We will turbocharge your ability to lead with confidence, take focused action, and achieve the results you desire.

4 Things You Need to Know about the Leadership Fast Track Program:

  1. 8 sessions. 2-hours each. 3-4 weeks apart. Our learning sessions are live but held over Zoom. The idea is to minimize the amount of time you spend away from the office while maximizing practical learning. It also makes the program available to you wherever you live.
  2. One-on-one coaching with author & international speaker, Andy Kaufman. Before you even begin the first session, you'll have a schedule one-on-one with Andy to create an action plan on how to integrate your learning as well as the results of your 360 assessment.
  3. You'll have incredibly practical & engaging takeaways that you can use immediately following each session. Each session builds on the previous one. You hate boring, monotone, project management lectures? So do we! This live, virtual Fast Track program was created specifically for your max learning and interactivity.
  4. Your title doesn't matter! If you are responsible for leading and delivering initiatives, this course is for you.  We've helped all sorts of roles, including CEOs, program managers, team leads, business analysts, salespeople, administrative assistants, engineers, lawyers, United Nations officials, and more level up their ability to lead and deliver.

When was the last time you got an honest, objective look at your leadership strengths and opportunities to grow? The truth is it can be difficult to get objective, actionable feedback. You'll get it in this program. It includes a confidential leadership assessment using a globally recognized instrument. Plus you get a one-on-one coaching session with me before the program begins to make sure we stay focused on your needs, and one at the end to make sure you put the learning into action.

Let's face it.... Rarely does it seem like we have time to invest in ourselves. But this program doesn't make you travel to a workshop location and sit through long training sessions. We do it all over the web through live, interactive sessions every 3-4 weeks that I facilitate. You get the learning without the days (or should I say "daze") of training. You can be anywhere in the world and participate without missing days of work.

A recent leadership program participant thanked me for helping him to achieve a goal he had been procrastinating on for years. Not only did he have the satisfaction of actually achieving it... He was now being offered a more challenging opportunity that will pay more money because of it.  "Thanks for pushing that with me...." was his message.

Although my immediate intentions do not include preparing for the PM certification, I received immense value from walking through this Essentials of Project Management virtual masterclass. The concepts & ideas taught, while certainly helpful toward preparing for the exam, offer a wide range of applications including but not limited to: being an administrator, an entrepreneur, a leader in a volunteer-based organization and even as a husband and father. Andy's professional, friendly and positive demeanor makes all the difference and he was able to really break down the concepts in a way I could easily understand. This was a great class that I'm thankful to have had the opportunity to attend.
