The Best of the Best in Leadership Development

We partner with leading authors, professional speakers, and trainers to develop practical leadership courses for frontline leaders. We evaluated more than 750 leadership experts across North America and selected fewer than 1% to contribute their expertise to The Leadership Journey. What sets our experts apart is their ability to transform years of leadership experience into short, focused courses that teach practical, how-to skills for frontline leaders.
Recognized Thought Leaders
The Leadership Journey’s subject matter experts have authored more than 27 books and are frequently featured in leading business and HR publications, including The Wall Street Journal, Forbes, HR Magazine, and Training Magazine.

Real Experts, Not AI or Social Media Personalities
In today’s world, it’s easy to find “experts” who appear knowledgeable online, including AI avatars that teach inaccurate information and social media personalities who attract followers but lack real leadership experience. These fake trainers often spread misleading and ineffective practices that confuse and misguide frontline leaders. Our subject matter experts are proven professionals who have led teams, authored books, and taught thousands of supervisors how to lead effectively in the real world.
Engaging, Practical, and Results-Focused
Our experts are master communicators who connect with supervisors through real examples and actionable skills. They work closely with our instructional design team to craft concise, focused courses aligned with our Burst Learning Model. Each course is built to hold attention, teach essential skills quickly, and drive measurable on-the-job improvement.
“I was very impressed with the quality of the course, the style of the presenters, and the practical how-to skills taught. Each course was short, concise, and full of individual ‘aha’ moments.”
