Cultural Impact Academy

Every workshop participant will receive comprehensive subject literature, a summary video of the training within 24 hours, a follow-up video one week later, and access to an optional Microsoft Teams Q&A session after one month.

These resources are specially designed to help overcome the “forgetting curve,” a concept introduced by German psychologist Hermann Ebbinghaus.

Our objective is simple. Make workshop participants better with practical wisdom learned from 40 years of doing it.

All Academy Training Sessions are virtual through Microsoft Teams and offer leadership wisdom for executives, business owners, managers, supervisors, assistant supervisors or inspiring leaders.

  • Program Overview

    Tailored Leadership is a real-world leadership development journey designed to move beyond theory into daily practice. This program focuses on building leaders who drive engagement, protect culture, hold teams accountable, and develop future leaders — the pillars of sustainable organizational success.

    Each session targets a critical leadership discipline, delivered in practical, actionable language that drives true behavior change.

    Program Structure: The Tailored Leadership program has been carefully crafted with a “building block” approach. Each session is intentionally sequenced to build foundational leadership skills before advancing to more complex challenges. Participants first master self-awareness, then authentic leadership, then communication mastery, followed by performance management, cultural protection, behavioral shaping, and leadership development. This strategic progression ensures that leaders are equipped with the right mindset, skills, and confidence at each stage — driving sustainable behavior change and preparing them to build strong teams and resilient cultures.
