SPARK YOUR LEADERSHIP

The Spark Brilliance Executive Leadership Program is a transformative program designed to take executive leaders from great to extraordinary—with minimal time and maximum impact. Recent participants had this to say about this signature program:

"I like that [the program] is backed by science. The science was shared for each section/chapter, so it felt like it was not just someone's opinion but had real data behind it."

"I feel much more confident in my leadership since starting this program and I hope that continues. I feel confident that my team members are seeing the growth in me."
