THE TRANSFORMATIONAL
LEADERSHIP PROGRAM (TLP)

Go from a high-potential to a high-performing team that Gets Sh*t Done in 14-weeks. Join the next cohort of the TLP led by J. Scott starting Wednesday, August, 6 2025.
You’re a High Performer.
But Does Your Team Deliver Like You?
You’ve won big. Led massive initiatives. You’re a success.
But your team? Not so much.
You’ve got the talent, but the results? Disappointing.
You can’t just sit back and hope they "figure it out."
Forget the fluff—no more theories, no more tools.
What you need is a proven framework—a winning strategy that builds high-performing teams and drives real, measurable results.

Master 5 Knowledge Areas
-
Problem: “I’m stuck in reaction mode and can’t get ahead. I spend all my time-fighting fires, I'm stressed and burnt out”
Solution: Master the discipline to focus on what matters, eliminate distractions, and lead with purpose and clarity. Leaders often struggle with being reactive instead of proactive, leading to stress, burnout, and poor outcomes. This knowledge area builds the foundational mindset and tools leaders need to take control of their time, energy, and focus to consistently deliver outcomes that create growth for their business while crushing burnout. -
Problem: “My team is disorganized, constantly putting out fires, and consistently misses deadlines.”
Solution: Build alignment, trust, and a shared sense of ownership to create a winning team culture based on discipline, trust, transparency & accountability. Leaders often face teams that lack focus, alignment, or clarity about their priorities, resulting in inefficiencies and frustrations. This knowledge area focuses on the fundamentals of organizing and aligning team member commitments for success, eliminating chaos, and ensuring every member contributes effectively to shared goals. -
Problem: “I want my team to trust me and feel inspired to follow my lead.”
Solution: Develop the tools to foster accountability, build trust, and motivate your team to act with urgency and purpose. Many leaders unintentionally create environments where accountability feels punitive, eroding trust and motivation. This knowledge area teaches leaders how to set clear expectations, create accountability systems, and build trust so their teams are inspired to take ownership and deliver results.
-
Problem: “How do I sustain engagement and momentum without burning out my team?”
Solution: Cultivate a culture of psychological safety grounded in accountability, enabling your team to perform at its peak. Many teams struggle with sustained performance because they lack trust, alignment, and focus on activities over outcomes, being busy over driving measurable growth for your company. This category teaches leaders how to maintain engagement and momentum while avoiding burnout.
-
Problem: “Our projects don’t move the needle or hit the mark. We often fail to deliver the intended outcomes due to misalignment, lack of buy-in, lack of accountability, and poor execution.”
Solution: Learn to prioritize, execute, and lead projects that align with your vision and drive outcomes that matter. Leaders often struggle with delivering meaningful results because projects lack focus or alignment with strategy. This knowledge area provides tools for impactful project execution, team alignment, and outcomes that drive growth for your company.
