LEAD NATURALLY

Lead Naturally is a key program in the Naturally series.  Developed  specifically to help organizations negatively impacted by leadership behaviors, actions and messages that are less than ideal.   This program boldly confronts the authenticity of leadership and helps participants realize the impact of their approach.

Leaders work through a series of activities to unlock their potential, uncover their leadership style and explore the needs of their team.   This allows leaders to internalize how to tailor their leadership in a manner that is natural to each team members’ needs and enable meaningful communication with even their most challenging colleagues.  When leaders engage their employees and team in a way that allows them to leverage the diversity of different perspectives productivity soars.

With over a million participants through Lead and Communicate Naturally and over 91% recommending this program to their friends and colleagues – this program works.

INVESTMENT

WHAT WILL THIS PROGRAM COST?

Great question. There are many factors at play in determining the overall cost of running this program. We factor in the number of sessions, the number of participants, the length of session to achieve the desired outcomes, and the facilitator you choose. It also depends on the amount of work you and your people do versus us and our team. It is definitely worth a conversation with one of our facilitators – we DO NOT have sales people so don’t worry about getting sold. Many clients are shy about sharing their budget, and we work within budgets to provide you with a program that still meets your team’s unique needs. A smaller budget may mean there are fewer bells and whistles, and you can still get a big bang for your buck!

HOW MUCH PREPARATION TIME IS REQUIRED FROM ME?

The minimum valuable time invested by the leader is a 20-30 minute conversation to determine the focus of the program. In some designs, the participants even choose the focus once the business goals are identified. Most of the time, senior leaders want to invest time in reviewing the blueprint design and after to determine how to sustain and amplify the impact of their Live session to drive business goals and culture transformation.

WHAT IS THE RUNNING TIME FOR THE PROGRAM?

As with most elements of our program, we can tailor the length of the facilitation to meet your needs. Officially, we recommend 3 hours minimum for Coach Naturally and ideally 5 to 6+ hours as a stand-alone program. Learn2 designs all experiences to be modular so most can fit your timeframe or expand with additional learning and application when you add time.

WILL YOU TRAVEL TO MY LOCATION TO RUN THIS PROGRAM? ARE TRAVEL COSTS INCLUDED?

Yes, we travel to any location/venue/city of your choosing to facilitate the program. Travel expenses are in addition to the program facilitation fees and vary depending on the specific travel requirements.

WHAT SUPPORT IS AVAILABLE TO SUSTAIN AND AMPLIFY AFTER THE PROGRAM?

During the results meeting you and your facilitator generate additional opportunities to amplify and sustain the learning. Participants receive access to post-experience videos to reinforce the main learning concepts. Your team can immediately apply their learning to their current business challenges and goals.

WHAT INCENTIVES DO YOU HAVE FOR PURCHASING MULTIPLE PROGRAMS?

HOW DO WE DRIVE HOME BUSINESS IMPACT?

Our clients have found that learning is the best way to transform their business results. We’ve seen our smart buyers experience dramatic increases in their business numbers. To make business results happen you have to advise what numbers you want to move, then we build a unique plan to make that happen for your team.

Empowering Today, Inspiring Tomorrow: The Unmatched Value of Leadership and Development

In a world that moves fast and shifts often, true leadership and development go beyond professional skill-building—they are about fostering connections that create meaningful transformation within individuals and teams. At the core of impactful leadership development lies a commitment to inspiring leaders who connect, empower, and encourage others to pursue genuine and lasting change. It’s an approach that views leadership as more than a position; it’s a way of creating shared experiences and values that drive performance and progress. Creating Experiences that Resonate Effective leadership development resonates deeply when it moves beyond theory and into action. Programs that provide hands-on, immersive experiences inspire individuals to step beyond the routine and tackle challenges in ways that feel tangible and relevant. Leadership then becomes something people embody—not just a list of principles or qualities. Development that immerses participants in high-stakes scenarios enables people to practice real-time decision-making, team-building, and problem-solving. In this way, development transforms from a formal exercise into a lasting experience. Leaders who engage in this form of learning come away with skills and memories that equip them to connect with others on a human level and to inspire teams that thrive in both growth and change. Developing Resilience Through Real Connection When people feel truly connected to their purpose and to one another, resilience becomes a natural part of their approach. In workplaces where leadership is cultivated and exemplified, individuals learn to lead, adapt, inspire, and support each other through challenges. This type of experiential development fosters not only skill but also the kind of confidence that can only come from real, hands-on engagement with complex situations. Development delivered in immersive settings goes beyond building individual skills; it creates a collective resilience, where teams unite through trust, connection, and shared purpose. Teams grounded in these experiences are prepared to navigate uncertainty, transforming challenges into opportunities for growth. Fostering Team Alignment Through Shared Goals The most successful organizations are those where leadership and development align seamlessly with shared goals. A leader doesn’t merely direct others; they connect each team member to a larger vision, making every contribution meaningful. Leadership development that emphasizes collaborative, team-based challenges reinforces this alignment, encouraging clear communication, problem-solving, and mutual accountability. When each person sees their role within a greater context, development is no longer a solo journey; it’s an invitation to be part of something larger. This shared sense of purpose inspires teams to push beyond what’s expected, achieving extraordinary outcomes together. Inspiring a Culture of Growth and Transformation The true value of leadership development is found in how it challenges people to view themselves, their teams, and their goals in new ways. In today’s dynamic business landscape, organizations benefit immensely from a culture where growth and transformation are continuous. Development becomes an adventure—a pathway where individuals explore their unique strengths and discover new ways to contribute to team success. By embedding learning within shared experiences, development empowers people to experiment, grow, and bring their best selves forward. This culture of growth fosters a sense of possibility, where each team member has the freedom to build skills that go beyond their immediate roles and extend into every facet of life. Leading with Purpose, Creating Lasting Impact At the heart of meaningful development lies purpose. Leadership development equips individuals to look beyond short-term goals and envision a future shaped by their actions. Purpose-driven leaders contribute not only to organizational goals but to a larger narrative of positive impact. Development that focuses on purpose-driven leadership enables individuals to connect deeply with their vision, creating leaders who are motivated to add real value and inspire positive change wherever they go. Leadership development of this kind doesn’t just strengthen organizations; it builds a legacy. Leaders empowered by purpose and connection inspire others, transform workplaces, and set a standard for progress. By prioritizing this kind of development, companies invest in a future that is both resilient and impactful, laying the foundation for people to create the world they want to see.

How Currency Creates Context for Immediate Feedback

Currency doesn’t just drive urgency—it also creates the feedback loop to help participants reflect on their performance. Feedback is a crucial part of learning, and currency provides a natural mechanism for participants to understand how well they’re doing and adjust their strategies accordingly. Again, feedback matters because participants move through “learning about” into a performance focus. The Power of Immersion in Learning What makes currency even more impactful is when it’s embedded in immersive learning experiences. Immersion allows participants to fully inhabit their learning environment, transforming the classroom from something abstract into something they live and breathe. By combining currency with immersion, learners become part of the story, making decisions that impact the outcomes and their emotional connection to the content. Imagine being on the deck of the SS Keewatin, tasked with saving lives in Save the Titanic. The decisions your team make could mean life or death for passengers—currency (lives saved) makes the stakes real. At the same time, you know the ship is sinking—currency (time matters) which makes the choices real. This is the power of immersive learning: it taps into emotions, making the learning experience unforgettable. When participants are immersed in the narrative, they are more likely to: Choosing the Right Currency for Your Learning Design Choosing the right currency for your learning design depends on the experience you want to create. Here are some examples of how currency can shape the participant-driven journey: Conclusion: Currency as the Catalyst for Impactful Learning At the heart of participant-driven design lies the idea of empowering learners to take ownership of their experience. Currency provides the perfect mechanism for achieving this by giving learners tangible feedback, creating urgency, and immersing them in a rich, dynamic environment where their decisions matter. When currency is thoughtfully integrated, we create a learning experience that is engaging, reflective, and transformative. By designing with currency, you’re not just guiding learners through content—you’re giving them the tools to measure their progress, make decisions with real consequences, and take full ownership of their learning journey toward actual performance. And that’s what makes participant-driven, immersive learning so powerful. Let’s continue designing experiences where participants feel in control, where learning is urgent, and where the feedback is immediate and meaningful. Stay curious and keep creating impactful learning experiences! Doug Bolger’s immersive learning experiences transform boring training into performance enhancing experiences. Doug supports talent, learning and design professionals to achieve substantially more during learning moments. Doug’s clients have found their participants want a performance approach rather than traditional learning content.

How Currency Enhances Participant-Driven Learning

Currency naturally complements participant-driven design by ensuring learners are at the heart of the experience. When participants are given a form of currency to manage, they are empowered to make choices, strategize, and reflect on the consequences of their actions. This shifts the focus from passive learning to active engagement, where learners have a stake in their performance. Imagine a traditional training session where participants are passive recipients of knowledge. Now contrast that with a learning experience where participants are saving lives against the clock in the award-winning Save the Titanic or solving their challenges together by identifying best practices in the high-stakes scenario of sales or service. Currency turns abstract learning into an urgent, immersive experience that puts learners in control, motivating them to apply what they’ve learned in real-time. How Currency Drives Urgency and Ownership Urgency is a powerful motivator in learning. By introducing currency, we raise the stakes and increase participant engagement. When participants know that every choice, action, or contribution directly impacts the outcome, it creates a sense of urgency that drives learning forward into performance. This urgency gives participants an immediate reason to care about their progress and compels them to think critically about their choices and actions. Here’s how currency creates urgency and ownership in various contexts:
