Intent-Based Leadership Masterclass
Lead for greatness in your organization.
Overview
The Intent-Based Leadership Masterclass is an immersive, highly interactive learning experience that helps leaders shift from a culture of permission and waiting to one of clarity, ownership, and distributed decision-making. Intent-Based Leadership (IBL) is a practical leadership language for high-performing teams — one that enables distributed decision-making while strengthening organizational alignment. The Masterclass blends science, stories, tools, and hands-on practice practice — ideal for leaders in any setting. Many choose to pair the Masterclass with IBL Certification to deepen learning and recognize lasting behavior change. (Offered in-person or online.
What makes the Intent-Based Leadership Masterclass unique
Simple tools that leaders actually use. Participants learn practical IBL mechanisms and language that immediately shift how people think, speak, and act together.
Behavior change through experience, not theory. Leaders try new approaches in a safe, energizing environment — and feel the difference IBL makes in real conversations.
A shared leadership language. The Masterclass helps leaders build a common approach to giving control, creating clarity, and strengthening competence across the organization.
What we’ll cover:
Tune control based on competence and clarity — giving more control while staying in control.
Use the Ladder of Leadership® to shift language from permission & waiting to intent & action.
Understand the neuroscience behind high-performance and how it relates to leadership.
Apply Red Work / Blue Work principles to improve thinking, collaboration, and results.
Create greater clarity before action and make it easier for others to think out loud.
Act your way into new thinking by taking small steps toward changing mindsets.
Participants & Format
Who should attend
Designed for leaders at every level who want to lead even better than they do today. Whether new to a leadership role or highly experienced, participants walk away with concrete language and tools they can put into immediate use.
The Masterclass is highly interactive and practical. Participants move between theory, stories, and hands-on exercises that make the concepts come alive. Leaders experiment with new leadership language and try out IBL tools in realistic scenarios. The session is intentionally fun, dynamic, and a bit challenging — in the best way — because meaningful behavior change happens through practice.
