Feedback That Changes Behavior: How to Have Conversations That Build Accountability and Growth

- Deliver feedback with clarity and care, without triggering defensiveness
- Address patterns that have gone on too long and recognize people in ways that genuinely motivate
- Build a culture of ongoing coaching and accountability that outlasts any single conversation

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to attend all four sessions?
Can I bring colleagues?
Absolutely. Many organizations send multiple leaders to Leadership Labs. If you have a larger team that you want to bring, contact us about doing a Leadership Lab session just for your organization.
Will sessions be recorded?
No. Leadership Labs are designed as interactive, in-person experiences. We don’t record sessions to encourage candid discussion and participation.
How is this different from the Unconventional Leadership Program?
Leadership Labs are open-enrollment quarterly deep-dive sessions perfect for individual professionals. The Unconventional Leadership Program is a year-long customized cohort experience designed for organizations developing their leadership teams. Both focus on unconventional, people-first leadership development.
Can my organization host a private Leadership Labs session?
Yes! If you’d like to bring a Leadership Labs topic to your team as private training, contact us about our Unconventional Leadership Program or custom training options.
