Strengthening Leadership and Improving Performance for 20+ Years
For more than 20 years, our mission and founding principles have guided our work.
We Build Better Bosses
When you develop the leadership skills of one supervisor or manager, you improve the experience of everyone they interact with—often 20 or more people. This is the ripple effect of skilled, confident frontline leaders.
Skilled, confident frontline leaders create:
- Better communication and stronger relationships
- Employees who feel supported, valued, and enjoy coming to work
- Higher commitment to goals
- A more positive, respectful workplace culture
- More discretionary effort and genuine “ownership” thinking
- Teams that continuously improve
We achieve this because our team and featured experts have been with BTE for decades and truly live our values. Many have been with us for more than 20 years, and they’re passionate about making a positive impact.
How do we accomplish our mission?
Through our practical, real-world leadership training program—The Leadership Journey™.
Accountability for Applying Practical Skills in the Workplace
Employees are frequently promoted into supervisory positions because of their technical skills—not their leadership potential. Too often, they step into leadership roles without the background or experience needed to effectively manage and lead their teams.
Without proper training in leadership skills, like communication, conflict resolution, and accountability, supervisors and managers can cause real damage to teamwork, morale, and productivity. Business Training Experts was founded because of the negative impact of one poor leader. Learn about our founder’s journey.
Based on the science of adult learning, Business Training Experts developed The Leadership Journey. This training program uses a proprietary burst learning model to improve 10 essential leadership skills, boosting productivity, eliminating people problems, and maximizing teamwork.
Many other training programs overwhelm participants with information and offer no opportunity to put it into practice.
The Leadership Journey is different.
- Using burst learning, short courses teach leaders practical how-to skills.
- Using personal action plans, they apply their new skills to real workplace challenges.
- Follow-up tools hold them accountable for applying their new skills on the job.
This turnkey program is customizable to your needs and environment—you decide when, where, and how your supervisors and managers will learn. It’s easy to use and takes very little time.
After participating in The Leadership Journey, your supervisors and managers will have the tools to drive organizational productivity, boost performance, and improve employee engagement.
“I love The Leadership Journey, and the team at Business Training Experts (BTE) is so easy to work with and helpful. I’d absolutely recommend BTE as a leadership development partner to other manufacturers and organizations.”
Lynn Fair, VP of HR, Brook + Whittle (View their case study.)
Experience Measurable Results
The Leadership Journey turns supervisors and managers into high-performing leaders that drive productivity with inspired and engaged teams.
After only a few courses, supervisors consistently achieve results like:
- Improved communication, accountability, and problem-solving skills.
- Decreased time and effort in solving problems and conflicts.
- Improved professionalism, resourcefulness, confidence, and better attitudes.
When teams experience these positive changes in leadership, they put forth more discretionary effort because they become more invested in their work. A culture of continuous improvement develops.
- Productivity soars, teamwork improves, and people problems decline.
- Growth occurs quickly, and goals are exceeded.
- Employees are energized and engaged.
Our step-by-step approach drives repeatable and predictable results for your organization:
- Increased productivity.
- Fewer accidents and improved safety.
- More satisfied, engaged, and productive employees and reduced turnover.

Subject Matter Experts Are the Best of the Best
To make The Leadership Journey an exceptional training program, Business Training Experts chose world-renowned authors, professional speakers, and trainers for our courses. We evaluate and handpick only the best of the best for each leadership competency.
In the latest version of The Leadership Journey, we evaluated over 750 authors, professional speakers, and trainers and selected fewer than 1% to participate in the program. An elite six became our featured subject matter experts.
Expert Communicators Who Keep Students Engaged
Our featured subject matter experts are not only specialists in the skills they teach, but they also have the unique ability to communicate ideas in short, bite-sized segments. Leveraging our burst learning model, they can condense 2–3 hours of instruction into a 15-minute course.
Expert Storytellers, Not Lecturers
Our featured subject matter experts are dynamic speakers who teach practical skills in a step-by-step manner that can immediately be applied to the workplace. They are not lecturers offering statistics and theory with no real-world application.
Content Experts, Not Social Media Personalities
Our subject matter experts are skilled at using real-life stories from personal experiences to communicate practical skills. They aren’t social media personalities or actors. They focus on educating while also being entertaining.
Collectively, they have authored over 27 books for top publishers, and they typically earn tens of thousands of dollars for a few hours of their expertise. They regularly appear in publications like Forbes, Bloomberg Businessweek, HR Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, and Workforce Magazine. And they’re featured in programs on ABC, CNN, Fox News, MSNBC, and NPR.
Their knowledge and communication skills, combined with our burst learning model, create an engaging learning process that guarantees results. See for yourself, and try a course from The Leadership Journey.
“The Leadership Journey is exactly what I dreamt of building myself. The way your experts talk about the competencies, and most importantly, the way the program gets people to apply their new skills. That’s the game changer.”
Jim Kramer, VP of People Operations, Shamrock Foods Company (View their case study.)
