FAQs

What is The Leadership Academy?

The Leadership Academy is a 90-day lifestyle shift for leaders. It’s not about consuming more content — it’s about daily leadership workouts that strengthen your confidence, clarity, and consistency.

By the end of your first cycle, you’ll know this is the best leadership development experience you’ve ever had. You’ll walk away with a playbook you can proudly share with your closest allies — and the foundation to keep practicing leadership with us as a lifelong pursuit.

Who is The Leadership Academy for?

The Academy is for anyone who wants to grow into an effective leader: business owners, executives, entrepreneurs, and team members.

You don’t have to arrive as an expert. With practice, support, and persistence, you’ll gain the confidence and reliability to lead well — and you’ll never have to walk that journey alone.

How does The Leadership Academy work?

You’ll progress through three phases designed to build a lasting leadership lifestyle:

1. Orientation (Days 1–12): Establish your baseline, learn the framework, and prepare your first training plan.

2. Practice Cycle (Days 13–90): Apply daily leadership workouts, track your progress, and develop habits that last.

3. Certification: Recognition for completing your first cycle — and the invitation to continue building with us as you grow.

How much time does it take?

You decide the pace.

1. Full-immersion path: Dedicate 4–8 hours per day and complete the Guides in 13–15 workdays, then spend the remaining 75–77 days reinforcing and living the training.

2. Steady-practice path: Work through the exercises across the full 90 days at your own rhythm.

Both work. One builds championship momentum, the other builds steady rhythm. Either way, this is just the start of your first cycle with us. Leadership isn't something you "complete". Leadership is a lifestyle you live by.

There’s no long-term contract. If the community is contributing to your growth, then feel free to stay.

Scholarships are frequently offered to participants who may not have the financial means to maintain membership yet are willing to be valuable contributors to the growth initiatives and stability of the network.

Feel free to be brave and ask for a scholarship application. Vulnerability is an underrated leadership trait.

How is The Leadership Academy different from a course or coaching program?

Most leadership programs stop at theory. The Leadership Academy trains you through action.

Each workout is designed to be applied, reflected on, and reinforced until it becomes part of your leadership lifestyle. This isn’t a one-time program. It’s a foundation you continue to grow on with us.

Do I need to attend live sessions?

There’s a subtle and important difference between “need to” and “get to.” No, you are not required to attend The Leadership Exchange sessions. But if you don’t, you’ll miss one of the greatest values of The Leadership Academy.


While the workouts are self-paced and flexible, leadership is not meant to be practiced in isolation. Lone leaders fall into the trap of “group think” inside their own organizations. The community of leaders inside The Leadership Academy is designed to protect you from that, sharpen your perspective, and give you accountability.


The structured workouts you receive are valuable on their own — but when paired with community, encouragement, and accountability, your growth accelerates. Choosing to lean into that support will take you further, faster, and with greater confidence.

Will I get support along the way?

Absolutely. The Leadership Academy is built on ongoing support, and we encourage you to maximize interaction with our team members.

You’ll have practical tools — like the Leadership Lens: Self + Circle Scorecard, progress reports, and Loom reflections — plus direct access to a global circle of leaders and our continued guidance. You’ll never have to lead alone.

What happens if I fall behind?

Life happens. You can pause or restart at any time. Progress matters more than perfection — but success doesn’t wait. In leadership and entrepreneurship, the stakes are high, and passivity can be costly.

That’s why we’re here to help you get back on track boldly and quickly. But leadership is a two-way street. We’ll stand with you, and when you demonstrate proactive behaviors, we’ll match your effort step for step. Step back into the arena, and we’ll be right there with you.

Is there a First Class Leadership Certificate?

Yes, for those who prove themselves as First Class Leaders. This is no handout. Successfully completing the 90-day cycle earns you a Leadership Academy Certification, approved by our Board of Leaders.

But certification isn’t the finish line — it’s the beginning of your continued training with us. Just like doctors and athletes commit to ongoing development, leaders in The Leadership Academy stay sharp through continued practice.

Can my team participate?

We don’t like to use the word “must,” but let’s be honest: what kind of leader leaves their team behind?

Your team is highly encouraged to join you in this growth experience. Teams that train together build a shared language, stronger accountability, and greater unity. Many leaders invite assistants or team members into The Leadership Academy so the entire organization grows stronger as one.

What if I don’t have a team yet?

Many of our members find their first collaborators, referral partners, and even team members here. If you're joining, you now have a network, and it’s time to shift that mentality.

Your fellow leaders will help you identify your next best opportunities, avoid costly mistakes, and prepare for growth confidently.
