Come back to you.
Lead from where you thrive.
Leadership isn’t about a title or a script — it’s about people. In the LIT Leadership Academy, we bring the human side back into leadership, exploring the psychology of how people work, what makes change stick, and how to see the signals others miss. You’ll reconnect with yourself and the people around you — building the clarity, trust, and tools to lead real change that lasts.
When: Tuesdays, [time + time zone]
Length: 2 hours live + homework
Where: Virtual (Google Meet)
“The Academy was such a powerful, valuable experience. It pushed me to really think about the leader that I want to be going forward, and gave me the tools I need to get there .”
— Jenna Ogden, Associate Director, Gift Planning Analytics

You’ve been leading — projects, teams, initiatives — but the reality is, you’ve been doing it in a world that wasn’t built with you in mind.
This program is for you if:
You want to lead without losing yourself in the process.
You’re tired of leadership advice that ignores the reality of your work and your life.
You want practical, repeatable strategies to handle resistance, navigate constant change, and build trust.
You’re ready to see leadership through a human-first lens, backed by observation and insight.
Create Your Leadership Toolkit For Grounded, Human-First Leadership.
Define Your Leadership
Identify the values, boundaries, and decision-making style that actually fit you — not someone else’s model — and learn how to communicate them so others know exactly what to expect from you as a leader.
Navigate Change & Resistance
Master the Push / Pause / Pivot framework to handle pushback without losing trust. Apply the Buy-In Blueprint to structure ideas in a way that resonates with different audiences, increasing adoption and reducing friction.
Read People & Dynamics
Recognize unspoken cues, power dynamics, and group energy in any room. Learn how to spot shifts in behavior, understand what drives them, and adapt your communication style to meet people where they are — even when natural distrust is high.
Lead Change That Last
Create reinforcement strategies for processes, people, and decision-making that make change sustainable over time. Use observation, feedback loops, and measurable wins to embed new ways of working into your team’s daily rhythm.
“I was asked in an interview how I structure proposals, and thanks to strategies I’ve practiced in this leadership program, I was able to confidently walk through my approach—it felt like a real win.”
— Manager, Business Intelligence
Skills You See Working Right Away
We meet for live, virtual sessions every Tuesday for two hours. Each session is practical, interactive, and built to give you tools you can use right away. After each class, you’ll get homework that’s directly aligned to your real-world role — designed to help you apply what you’ve learned and level up your leadership in real time.
Week 1: Defining Your Leadership Philosophy
Pinpoint the values, boundaries, and decision-making style that make sense for you — not someone else’s model — and learn how to clearly communicate them so others know what to expect when you lead.
Week 2: Leading Through Change & Resistance
Anticipate pushback and meet it with confidence. Use the Push / Pause / Pivot framework to adapt in the moment, maintain trust, and move change forward without burning people out.
Week 3: Structuring Ideas for Influence (Buy-In Blueprint)
Learn how to present ideas in a way that earns trust and drives adoption. Apply the Buy-In Blueprint to align with how people naturally respond to new information — especially when skepticism is high.
Week 4: Navigating Room Dynamics & Personality Types
Understand the psychology of personalities and power dynamics so you can lead effectively in any room. Learn how to read the room, notice what’s unspoken, and respond in a way that keeps people engaged.
Week 5: Reinforcing Change Through Observation and Systems
Identify the behaviors, processes, and decisions that are driving progress — and intentionally feed them back into your team’s daily rhythm. Use observation, feedback loops, and simple systems to reinforce change until it becomes the way you work.
Week 6: Capstone — Your Personal Leadership Playbook
Bring everything together into a practical, ready-to-use playbook that reflects your leadership style, strategies, and systems. This is your personalized toolkit for leading with clarity, confidence, and sustainability.
