FOCUS YOUR LEADERSHIP
AMPLIFY YOUR IMPACT
BUILD COMMUNITY
Whether you are looking to level up your own leadership or develop the leadership of those in your care, the Authentic Leadership Academy promises to deliver an experience that will inject new power, purpose, and passion into each attendee.
Through a combination of practical skills, provocative lessons, and a journey into the human condition, David helps leaders connect, engage, and inspire in new and transformative ways.
As we work in uncertain, demanding times, whether individually, in families, in communities or globally, it is important to stay grounded in our authentic presence. True leadership with lasting positive impact comes from this authentic presence and it is essential for renewing and sustaining workplaces that are depleted and where the human spirit is trampled, overworked, and undervalued. Now more than ever, the world needs authentic leaders –– people whose inner compass guides their daily actions and who inspire trust; leaders who are committed to substance over the superficial, character over charisma, and service over self-interest.
You may have noticed that our conventional and habitual ways of thinking and engaging in our life and work are not fostering this authentic presence. This course offers perspective and practices to access genuine and renewed authentic presence.
Through a combination of practical skills, provocative lessons, and a journey into the human condition, participants in the Authentic Leadership Academy will connect, engage, and be inspired in their leadership in new and transformative ways.
“We all understand that there’s a difference between a boss and a leader. You can get promoted to being a boss, but you can’t get promoted to being a leader. You have to earn it. And you aren’t a leader until someone calls you one. This makes every person a potential leader – with or without a title. Leadership is ultimately about presence, not position.”
– David Irvine
The Authentic Leadership Academy is for those who understand the incredible responsibility of leadership and are committed to unleashing the best in themselves and their team. If you want to infuse new passion, power, and purpose into your leadership and life, come prepared for a life-changing experience that will ask you to question everything you know about leadership and provide you with a roadmap to achieve new levels of impact and success.
Whether a CEO or Executive Director entrusted with an entire organization, a supervisor committed to building a great team, a middle manager who oversees a division, a front-line professional, an entrepreneur, a parent, a coach, a teacher, a community volunteer, or a citizen dedicated to making a difference, this Academy will be valuable and unlike any experience you’ve had before.
If you answered yes to any of these questions, David’s Authentic Leadership Academy is the right choice for you.
