Leadership in Motion™ · a program from Living Groups
Your best leaders are carrying too much, alone.
A ten-week program that builds the capacity your senior leaders need to navigate real complexity — before the load quietly grinds down the people who hold everything together.
The problem isn't your leaders. It's what they're being asked to hold.
The most capable people in an organization absorb its contradictions. They translate impossible demands into workable plans, hold the pressure from above and the needs from below, and keep things moving when the structure itself won't let them breathe.
They do it quietly, and they do it well — until they don't. The deputy who used to bring three options starts bringing one. The high performer leaves for less money somewhere smaller. The room goes quiet. By the time it shows up in the numbers, the depletion has been building for a long time.
Most leadership training treats this as an individual skills gap. It isn't — it's a capacity problem, and capacity is built through practice and peers, not another workshop.
10-week pilot · Health Care Organization · 2026
Measured, not asserted.
The first cohort ran as a documented pilot with a 50-item assessment across ten leadership-capacity domains, scored at week one and week eight.

Average capacity gain, baseline to week 8

Capacity domains showing measurable growth
A pilot, reported as one: eight participants completed the matched pre/post assessment. These are early signals from a small first cohort, corroborated by participants' own reflections — not scaled outcomes. The strongest and most consistent gains came from senior leaders, the group carrying the most.

Attrition across the ten-week program
What the leaders said afterward.
“I am a changed human.”
Senior Leader
“My anxiety was on overdrive and resulted in my building more towers. I've had real chances to practice going against that.”
Senior Leader
“This program gave me words for things I already knew.”
Emerging Leader
“I actually understand what I'm doing now, and I'm aware I'm doing it — which lets me be far more deliberate with my time.”
Senior Leader
How it works.
Ten weeks. A small cohort of leaders, one facilitator across the whole arc, and a weekly hour of paired practice between sessions.
The program is built as a deliberate arc — an opening that sets the baseline, a stretch of real developmental work, built-in rest rather than relentless intensity, and a close that makes the change hold after the program ends. Development is anchored in the actual situations leaders are facing at work, not case studies.
The structure is the method, and it's what produced the results we measured. We'll walk you through how it maps to your leaders in a conversation.
Ways to run it: a bounded weekly program, a residential immersion, a seasonal intensive, or embedded inside your organization's own rhythm.
What this isn't.
It isn't a workshop, a retreat, or an executive-coaching engagement. It isn't a set of techniques you can read about and install on Monday.
It's a bounded program with real demands: leaders show up for every session, do the work between them, and stay with the discomfort long enough for something to actually shift. Organizations that want a one-day workshop should look elsewhere. Organizations that want their leaders to genuinely develop are the right fit.
Two ways in.
For organizations
Run a cohort for your leaders
Bring the program to a cohort of your senior leaders — the group the pilot moved most, and where the peer work matters most. Best for organizations facing growth, transition, or the quiet attrition of their most capable people.
For individual leaders
Work with me directly
One-to-one advisory for a senior leader carrying more than anyone is helping them hold. The same practice, shaped to your situation, without the cohort.
Start with a conversation.
No application, no committee. A short conversation to see whether this fits what your leaders are actually carrying.
