- WHO IT'S FOR -
The Academy is not a one-time event. It's for organizations that grow leaders on purpose, not by accident.
First-Line Supervisors
Middle Managers
Directors
High Potentials
You promoted your best performers.
No one trained them to lead.
New leaders who haven't MADE THE SHIFT from doing to leading.
Teams that WAIT to be told what to do.
Good people LEAVING managers who never developed them.
Leadership roles that open with NO ONE READY to step in.
So the same few people keep carrying the load. It’s not because your leaders don’t care. They were promoted because they were good at the work, but doing the work and leading the people who do it require different skills.
What to Expect
Leaders begin by learning to lead themselves and own their work before building the skills to lead others. Over 6 to 12 months, group workshops and individual coaching help them put those skills into practice. Because every organization is different, I Lead Me Academy is designed around your specific challenges, goals, and leaders.
- FIRST
I Lead Me Fundamentals
Every Academy starts with the two-day Fundamentals workshop: leading yourself, then owning the work at your level. Nobody builds ownership in other people before they have built it in themselves.
- THEN
Building Ownership in Others
Your leaders learn to give constructive feedback, work through conflict, and empower and motivate their people. They learn to think critically, solve problems, make sound decisions, and lead their teams through change. So ownership stops depending on a handful of people.
Partnering with John has been one of the best decisions I've made since arriving at Walker Hospital.
His I Lead Me framework has helped shape our culture, develop our leaders, and support engagement as team members take ownership of their growth and the impact they have on others.
The results have been evident throughout our organization. I recommend John without reservation.

- THE IMPACT -
What Changes When Ownership Spreads

02
Decisions Move
Decisions are made closer to where the work happens.

And the Payoff for Senior Leaders
A stronger leadership bench reduces how often departures and promotions pull you back into daily operations. You spend more time setting strategy, shaping culture, and leading the organization forward.
What Leaders Say About Working With John
They tailored the programs to our specific needs and we’ve been able to help not only senior leaders, but our medical staff and our governing board.
