How the Leadership Lab Works

The program combines the flexibility of self paced study with the power of shared experience and expert guidance. The time commitment is approximately 4-5 hours per week over the 5 week course period. The course is structured around five habit themes, each aligned to a specific module:

• The Habit Loop — how to create good habits and eliminate bad ones

• Keystone Habits — pivotal leadership practices that create a ripple effect of success

• Identity Building Habits — reinforcing the kind of leader you aim to be

• Principle Based Habits — anchoring decisions in values and vision

• Future Focused Habits — preparing yourself and others for what is next

Each week, you will engage in a rhythm of personal reflection, peer connection, and actionable growth.
