The Be That Leader Experience
Build mental fitness where leadership happens: under pressure.
Be That Leader combines the seven-week Positive Intelligence® program with live facilitation, coaching, peer learning, and real-world application. Participants do not simply learn a new framework. They practice a new response until it becomes more available in the moments that matter.
The method
How behavior change is built
Daily mental fitness reps
Short, app-guided practices fit inside a real workday and build repetition without creating another overwhelming commitment.
Weekly focus and facilitation
Each week strengthens one essential mental fitness capability, supported by expert coaching and practical conversation.
Real leadership application
Participants apply the work to current decisions, difficult conversations, relationships, and performance challenges.
Peer accountability
A cohort creates shared language, normalizes honest reflection, and helps the learning spread into the team.
