Leader LAB

Our High Impact Leader LAB is a cohort-based program that combines leadership development with peer mentoring and applied learning focused on participants’ immediate priorities. Sessions are energizing - building confidence and skills through an experiential learning style where participants tackle their most relevant, top of mind challenges and opportunities through the lens of leadership. Material and content is always evolving given the context of the business world. Cohort participants feel a stronger connection to one another throughout and after the program, leading to increased trust and collaboration.

Ideal for:

Organizations who want to develop their leaders in a sustainable manner while building stronger connection across their leadership groups (either within functions or enterprise-wide). Content is customized to the client based on the strategy and direction of the organization.

Format:

Cohorts typically consist of up to 14 like-leveled participants who will experience approximately 32 hours of leadership learning and fieldwork to apply development into their work. Delivery method is customized to the client needs.

  • Michele Matthews, COO, AG Care

    We are entering our 5th year of Leader LAB. The program has challenged our leaders to up their game and become more aware of their impact. We discuss real business issues during our sessions which helps us grow as leaders and better manage our organization. During the workshops we get to “practice” new skills and in between workshops we are given follow up “field work” to support the application of what we learn. We have a stronger community because of Leader LAB as the program truly supports building relationships across the entire organization, and developing the leadership capabilities to move our business forward.

  • Andrew Knowles, VP Operations AbCellera

    After just a couple years of running Leader LAB, I started hearing people say “let’s leader lab this” to various challenges or opportunities, when unproductive conflict would arise or a situation requiring people to think differently and to show up differently. Erin is able to be both challenging and inspiring in the same moment. She is genuinely committed to helping each person she works with improve in their leadership impact, for the purpose of improving the organizations they work for and more broadly, for the world we live in.

  • Kristin White, Geological Engineer, BGC Engineering

    BGC first started working with High Impact Lab in 2022, when our Office Managers participated in the Leader LAB program. Since then, we’ve had an additional three cohorts through the Leader LAB program and have worked with High Impact to develop and execute a Leadership Foundations training program, designed for all employees to take within their first year or two at BGC.

    A highlight of the Leader LAB for me was the personal values work. Getting clear on my values has helped me be a more curious and self-aware leader, and I am more tuned into why I get triggered. The work around performance management allowed us to get really clear on our specific team’s role and provided us with tools to really elevate our game in this area. The facilitated time spent together also really bonded us as a team and gave us clear direction and purpose.

  • Amir Moghadasi, CFO at Voestalpine

    High Impact Lab is where the art and science of leadership merge to give us the knowledge and the tools to elevate our individual and collective impact on our businesses, families, and peers. The Leader LAB program is uniquely designed to bring a diverse group of highly engaged leaders to exchange real-time and real-life experiences on personal, professional and leadership questions. In my view, High Impact Lab is different from past experiences in three ways: the experienced facilitators with successful track record have the knowledge and real-life experience to guide us on our journey, the unique process combines learning with action and outcome, and the focus on the journey helps us to build our path one step at a time.

Elevate

Elevate is a transformational leadership development program for organizations looking to accelerate change - in culture, strategy and leadership effectiveness. No program connects the participants in a more meaningful and lasting way than this. Learning is experiential and creates space for reflection around individual and collective performance, driving stronger business results. The learning makes for powerful, memorable shifts in a way that sticks.

Imagine a group of your high potential leaders, executives and change agents in a focused, experiential process designed to elevate their individual and collective impact. Working in a cohort model, these leaders will learn together in a way that will ripple throughout your organization. This isn’t a training program, it is a transformation process.

Through best-in-class assessments, custom-designed, relevant learning experiences, and on-going assignments and fieldwork, leaders take tangible steps for up-leveling their leadership.

Ideal for:

Driven, restless leaders who want to make clear advances in their leadership impact.

Format:

Described as a mini MBA in leadership, Elevate takes place over the course of 8-10 months. The program consists of a series of residential modules and virtual Leader LAB workshops and includes a comprehensive assessment of the leader’s current impact.

  • Elevate delivered the most impactful team leadership program I have ever experienced. I saw more personal growth from my direct report team because of the thoughtful conversations and emphasis on personal growth intertwined with enterprise relationships and goals. Sue and Erin are masterful facilitators, authentic experts in the learnings they share and skilled at navigating teams to be vulnerable and to celebrate their unique selves while evolving ways to lead. We have cascaded Elevate to leaders in our organization, with the same resounding success. I regularly recommend Elevate to organizations interested in impactful team leadership development

  • Stacey Norman | SVP Human Resources, Ledcor

    Erin is one of the strongest coaches I have worked with. She is careful to listen and observe, then quickly get to the heart of the issues or challenges. She is direct and clear, she tells it like it is, all from a place of caring and support. When she challenges you, you know it’s because she wants the best for you and wants to see you become the best YOU you can be. Her sense of humour and fun adds to her effectiveness as she helps her clients realize that we’re humans, we’re fallible, and everyone is a work in progress.

LIFT

High Impact LIFT is a cohort-based program that inspires an empowering sense of agency and confidence in women while building a strong peer community among participants.

Ideal for:

Women leaders at any level of the organization who want to elevate their impact and build a strong network of trusted peers.

Format:

Cohort-based, four 2 hour workshops designed to challenge women to own their strengths and bench their inner critic.

The LIFT program provides a safe place for connection and vulnerability and is facilitated in a way that really gets to the core of who someone is. I have seen a sizable increase in confidence of women leaders at Metrie. They are carrying themselves differently, speaking up in ways they never have before and therefore adding value to our organization by simply being their best selves. One of my managers, who for years has aspired to stay in her same role, went through LIFT and recently applied for a Director level role. This display of confidence and bravery was different from ways I have seen her display it in years past, and a breath of fresh air. It is acts like this that will change the trajectory of women at Metrie – confidently and bravely tackling their aspirations.
