The Elevated Leader Training Program for Manufacturers

all EVENTS

The Elevated Leader is a live, high-touch program for leaders who want to delegate with confidence, navigate difficult conversations with ease, and drive real productivity without burning out. In today’s fast-moving, multi-generational workplace, leadership is no longer about giving orders. It’s about relational management—coaching, giving feedback, and creating a culture where your team thrives.. The problem is most leaders were never taught how to do this well.

This program delivers practical strategies to help leaders get work done while building high-performing, engaged teams. Designed for managers, team leads, and emerging leaders, The Elevated Leader modernizes how you lead, communicate, and delegate. Whether you’re stepping into leadership or leveling up your impact, you’ll gain the clarity, tools, and confidence to lead effectively, deliver results, and become the kind of leader that others look up to.

Session dates

  • September 9, 2026 (Modern Leadership in a Changing World)
  • September 23, 2026 (Purposeful Productivity)
  • October 14, 2026 (Coach don’t Command)
  • October 28, 2026 (Build High Performance Teams with DiSC)
  • November 10, 2026 (Mastering Difficult Conversations)
  • December 2, 2026 (Master the High-Performance Mindset)
  • December 16, 2026 (Instilling Accountability to Drive Results)

All sessions are held on Zoom from 12:00 – 3:00 pm EST beginning 9/9/26.

This program has proven to be successful because the leaders have an opportunity to learn over the course of three months rather than all at once. This allows your leaders to go away after each session and implement new skills deliberately and get the support they need along the way. Our program includes homework and accountability to ensure your leaders are applying their learning. This is truly an active and participatory workshop rather than a class where leaders are just learning principles and theory.

Registration open until September 23, 2026
