You’re doing everything right.
And it’s still not working.
Leadership School teaches you how to communicate so people actually listen—so your ideas land, your influence grows, and your career moves forward.
If you’ve ever walked out of a meeting thinking:
“Why didn’t I say that better?”
“Why didn’t that land?”
“Why am I still having to prove myself?”
You’re in the right place.
Leadership School is a 6-week live, virtual program designed to transform how you show up as a leader—fast.
Each week, you will:
Bring real conversations you’re navigating
Learn a specific framework
Practice it live
Get direct feedback
So you don’t just understand it—you actually use it.
This is for you if…
You’re doing great work—but not getting the outcomes you expected
You over-explain, ramble, or second-guess yourself when speaking
You struggle to get buy-in—even when you know you’re right
You leave important conversations wishing you handled them differently
You’re stepping into a bigger role and it’s not clicking the way you expected
“Leadership School came at the perfect time. I was just promoted to a new role and was nervous about the transition as someone who is a natural people pleaser and now had to manage a team. Leadership School helped me clarify who I wanted to be as a leader and helped me confidently communicate with my team and learn how to delegate better.
It helped me crystalize what mattered most to me in my work and life and gave me the confidence to take immediate action. Leadership School gave me the tools and space to better communicate in work and in life.”
— Michelle Bashaw, environmental supervisor at an industry-leading integrated energy company
Your real problem
The problem isn’t your intelligence.
The problem isn’t your work ethic.
It’s that you were taught outdated rules about how to communicate:
Be agreeable.
Don’t rock the boat.
Make sure everyone likes you.
Those rules don’t get you heard.
They get you overlooked.
And in today’s workplace—
where decisions move fast and attention is limited—
if you can’t communicate clearly and confidently, you can’t influence outcomes.
“Leadership School helped me get really clear on my values and goals. I’m more present, and have more time to spend with my family. My daughters told me that they love how much happier I seem. This is big right now as I lacked work-life balance… now I get to build a career I love that reflects my values and have meaningful moments with my friends and family.”
— Jen Harkleroad, civil engineering leader
What actually works
The leaders who influence outcomes aren’t the smartest people in the room.
They’re the ones who know how to:
Structure their thoughts so people follow them
Speak with clarity under pressure
Get buy-in without over-explaining
Navigate pushback without shutting down
Make people feel confident in their leadership
This is a skill.
And it’s learnable.
“Before Leadership School, I was struggling with a perfectionist mindset, and had difficulty taking action that would move the needle on what I wanted. I felt frozen and was stuck in analysis paralysis.
Leadership School helped me to get out of the achievement trap in my current job. It offered the structure I needed to change my thinking and choices in attainable and impactful ways. As a result, I am finally hitting my goals each week, and feeling more motivated and energized in my life and career. It helped me learn to prioritize the things that matter most."
— Seema, operations leader
What is Leadership School?
Leadership School is a live, virtual, hands-on program designed to help you communicate with influence in real-world situations.
Not theory.
Not generic leadership advice.
You bring your actual challenges.
We work through them together.
You leave knowing exactly what to say and how to say it.
“Leadership School helped me be fearlessly authentic in all areas of my life, including in both work and in my personal life.
I'm more firm in not ruminating on things I can't control, which allows me to set boundaries and not waver. I'm grounded when faced with chaos and don't allow others' emotions to influence mine.
I even have boundaries when I am actively speaking. If someone asks me a question about my opinion and I truly don’t know, I will wait and not hurry into responding.”
— Monica Timmerman, PharmD, Director of Field Medical Capabilities

Why it works
Most leadership programs teach you what good communication looks like.
Leadership School shows you how to actually do it in your real, messy, high-stakes situations.
This is not about becoming someone else.
It’s about learning how to express what you already know—
in a way that people understand, trust, and act on.
“Before Leadership School, I felt overwhelmed all the time. I was stuck in perfectionism and people-pleasing, constantly trying to prove I could ‘handle it all.’ It left me exhausted and buried in the details.
Joining Leadership School with Colleen was the turning point.
She helped me see what was actually going on. It wasn’t the workload — it was the patterns underneath it. Colleen gave me clarity on my values and the confidence to finally put them first. Together, we built simple, practical ways to lighten my load and set better boundaries.
It shifted how I define success in a huge way. That clarity is what pushed me to finally start my dream project. Now I’m more present with my kids and husband, more grounded, and genuinely excited about what I’m building. If you’re feeling overloaded or stuck, Leadership School is so worth it.”
— Ana McMurtry, senior tax leader at a Big 4 management consulting firm
