A 10-Week Applied Leadership Program
The Complete Leadership Advantage
Say the right thing. Lead with strength. Build capacity that lasts.
For leaders in public safety and other high-stress workplaces who were promoted for operational excellence and are ready to master the other half of the job: leading people. Ten weeks. Ten tools. Real practice, applied at work the same week.
Live sessions Wednesdays, 8:00 to 9:30 a.m. Pacific (11:00 a.m. Eastern, 4:00 p.m. UK), September 16 to November 18. Onboarding opens September 9.

The gap every public safety leader knows
You were promoted because you were excellent at the work. Public safety trains the operational side deeply and constantly. Leadership training built for this world, the difficult conversation on a night shift, the former peer you now supervise, the documentation that has to hold up, is far harder to find. So the difficult conversation waits. Expectations get set late. Small issues grow into the files that follow people for years.
This program was built to close that gap. The organizations enrolling their supervisors are closing it early, with tools their leaders practice out loud, use at work that same week, and refine with a cohort who understands their world.
“I created this course because I didn't have it. These are the things that, if someone had told me instead of my having to learn by making all the mistakes, would have made all the difference.”
— Kim Rigden, Founder

A program that measures itself
Transfer you see at work
Transcript analysis of the Spring 2026 cohort found participants using course tools unprompted by Week 9, including coaching their own supervisors with course language.
Measured, before and after
Every cohort completes validated measures at the start and end, plus a 30-day follow-up on leadership behaviours. Sponsoring organizations receive a plain-language summary.
Recognition that followed
One graduate was named his organization's Supervisor of the Year after completing the program.
