Leadership development

Great leadership isn’t about a certain type of person—it’s about the actions people are empowered to take. Impact is a leadership development training company that helps people unlock their full potential. Since 1980, our leadership development programs have taken a human-centric approach, shifting mindsets and enabling real impact.

A Leadership Development Strategy that Works in the Real World

Rigid hierarchies and fixed processes don’t create strong leaders— people do. Leadership is about action, not just titles. By taking a human-centric approach to business, you can encourage people to take leadership action regardless of their role. 

At Impact, we design corporate leadership development experiences that help people grow at any level. Our unique approach isn’t about fitting into a mold—it’s about developing practical leadership skills that work in any role, team, or industry.

Through customized leadership development, we use hands-on experiential learning to help individuals explore their leadership style in real-world situations. Our experiential leadership development programs equip you with the tools to build trust, strengthen relationships, and drive lasting change in your organization.

Customized Leadership Development Programs

Leadership isn’t a title—it’s what you do. At Impact, we focus on developing leaders at every level through bespoke leadership development programs that build confidence, adaptability, and real-world problem-solving skills. We work with your organization to create a culture where leadership is practiced every day through actions, and with intention.

Leadership development courses by Impact are designed for people at all levels in your organization. Our senior leadership development programs build key skills for strategic management, fostering new mindsets and collaborative behaviors that drive innovation.

Our mid-level leadership development programs develop the confidence, decision-making, and team-building skills needed to create real impact. By aligning leadership with purpose and values, we empower people to strengthen individual, team, and organizational performance.

We understand that creating a culture of leadership isn’t easy. This is why we move away from the traditional language of leadership development, to focus on action.  Experiential learning and leadership development coaching are key to cultivating culture through meaning, values, and motives that are aligned with your organization.
