What’s Inside the Course?
Pricing & Enrollment
Leaders Don’t Just Appear - They’re Built
Coaching and mentorship create the pipeline your municipality needs for future leadership.
When Leadership Development Gets Overlooked
Municipalities don’t fail because of policies - they fail because they don’t have enough prepared leaders ready to carry them forward.
Staff often get promoted for technical skills, not leadership ability.
Supervisors juggle deadlines and tasks but rarely have time to mentor.
1:1’s drift, feedback only happens when there is a problem.
Promising employees lose motivation when they don’t see a path forward.
The result is a widening leadership gap that leaves staff with low morale, unprepared, and municipalities struggling to adapt to the challenges ahead.
