Current and Upcoming Leadership Classes

Our Flagship Leadership Course

Our program is a comprehensive program of eight full-day sessions* and a one-hour individual coaching session addressing the following topics: 

  • Applying leadership principles 
  • Leadership versus management 
  • Understanding yourself and others as a leader 
  • Communicating to motivate 
  • Leading difficult/strong-willed people 
  • Leading in conflict situations 
  • Leading change: motivating individual change and leading organizational change 
  • Empowering and growing others: delegating, coaching, mentoring, empowering 
  • Taking and controlling personal/career risk 
  • Defining a personal leadership style 
  • Inspiring leadership in others and creating a leadership culture 


* Due to the pandemic, we adapted our in-person program so that the material from each full-day session is now covered in two half-day Zoom sessions. We returned to our in-person class offerings in September 2021 in multiple locations, but the online version worked so well that we intend to continue to offer at least one online course option each year going forward. 


The program also includes three self-discovery activities foster long-term skills development: 

  • Creating a well-defined personal vision 
  • Defining a personal leadership style 
  • Creating a personal longer-term plan to continue growing leadership skills 


We use the framework of MVS and the SDI for many aspects of our training. More information about MVS and the SDI can be found here. MVS and SDI are copyrighted by Personal Strengths Publishing. Inc. (PSP). All rights reserved.

     - Candace Baker, Senior Project Manager, Langan


“I would rate this class 10+ on a 10 scale if I could! This class provided me all the necessary tools to be an effective, motivational, and confident leader. I've grown and developed tremendously since the first class and I would definitely recommend this class to any aspiring leader!”

     – Jose Palao, Assistant Project Engineer, MFS Consulting Engineers & Surveyor, DPC


“I went into Odyssey not knowing what to expect, but fearing the focus might be on corporate/professional rah-rah self-congratulation (like so many YouTube videos out there). What I found could not have been more different. The amount of self-reflection and contemplation was something I hadn't had the time/desire/motivation/guidance to do in over 15 years. I am thankful for that opportunity and feel I have many more skills now to successfully lead myself and others."

     – Timothy White, Project Director, Sanborn | Head & Associates, Inc.
