Preparing for the Journey:
In preparation for Flight School™, you will complete a set of personal assessment instruments. In addition, you may have participated in a Know Thy Self™ Workshop, or you may have invited feedback from others in your organization through an ODDIS® 360° assessment. These tools will give you an objective measurement of your leadership development “Flight Path.”

Registration materials and travel info can be found on the Travel & Class Information page.

Now, you are ready to learn how to “fly”!

Day 4: Advanced Tools and Tactics for High Altitude Flight
Now it’s time to focus on understanding the subtleties of organizational dynamics. We’ll teach you how to “fly” in turbulent situations as well as in clear, blue skies. You’ll learn how to identify and overcome organizational blockages (storms) that can pull your team off their flight paths. You will experience:

Day 5: Re-Entry
The ½ day of the 5th day is devoted to re-entering your workplace with your new leadership skills, and preparing you for how your colleagues will interact and perceive this change in your leadership style and approach. Day 5 concludes with a graduation, and entry into the Leadership Flight School™ Alumni Association.

The leadership lessons do not end at noon on Friday. We are committed to helping you grow and achieve your personal and career objectives. You will leave with tools and templates to use, but we are here to continue to resource your learning long after your week of Leadership Flight School™. We recommend staying in touch with your classmates to keep each other on-track.

Our graduates tell us…

“Thank you – You have changed my life & how I am going to do my job.”
