Results from the World's Most Effective Leadership Training

The Integral Leadership Program has been running concurrently for 25 years. It is easily one of the longest-running and certainly most successful and most respected leadership training and coaching programs in the world. More than 10,000 leaders in 2,000+ companies have benefitted from the Integral Leadership Program (now it its 5th generation). Below is a small sampling of the results leaders have received from the ILP over the last two and a half decades... in their own words.

Goodbye Overwhelm, Hello Results

I used to feel overwhelmed trying to juggle the demands of leadership. The ILP helped me create systems to manage my priorities, delegate effectively, and keep my team on track. The relief I felt after implementing these tools was priceless, and my team’s engagement scores have never been higher.

D. Thompson, Regional Manager, Dallas, TX

Finally, Real-World Tools That Work

I’ve tried other leadership programs, but the ILP is in a league of its own. Everything I learned was practical and actionable—no fluff, just real solutions to real challenges. The tools for team alignment and performance tracking were game-changers, and I saw improvements within weeks.

T. Gupta, IT Manager, Austin, TX

Creating a Legacy of Leadership

The ILP didn’t just improve my leadership—it gave me a vision for how I can leave a lasting impact. My team is aligned, engaged, and delivering results I never thought possible.

L. Carter, Executive Director, Atlanta, GA

Simplifying Complex Tech Decisions

Before this program, rapid tech changes made decision-making overwhelming. I needed a structured way to navigate uncertainty. This framework helped me simplify complex situations, prioritize effectively, and gain executive buy-in. Now, our IT strategy is clearer than ever, and we’ve accelerated implementation by 40%.

Ethan L., Chief Information Officer, SaaS Company, San Francisco, CA

Seamless Leadership During Major Transitions

Leading my company through a merger was one of the toughest challenges of my career. This program provided the structure I needed to communicate effectively, align stakeholders, and keep morale high. We successfully integrated both organizations within six months, retaining 90% of key talent and exceeding our growth targets.

Michael H., CEO, Healthcare Corporation, Dallas, TX

The Leadership Program That Pays for Itself

I was skeptical about investing in another leadership program, but the ILP exceeded my expectations. The measurable ROI was undeniable—I gained tools that saved me hours every week and helped my team deliver results that added significant value to the organization. This program pays for itself many times over.

M. Nguyen, Finance Director, Seattle, WA

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Who is this for?

The Integral Leadership Program is for any leader who has a team (people reporting to them). This includes managers in corporations, non-profits and government organizations. It also includes entrepreneurs (who have employees of course, not solo entrepreneurs). This system is perfect for any organizational leader (with a team) who is serious about improving the specific leadership skills that will lead to better organizational outcomes. This includes things like: achieving organizational goals, high-performance teamwork, completing projects successfully on time and on budget, launching new products or services, growing revenue, profits, or increasing employee engagement and productivity.

What exactly is Integral Leadership?

Integral Leadership is a unique system developed over 25 years of training and coaching leaders and teams (across numerous industries and diverse cultures). We offer what many people believe to be the best leadership development methodology, content, coaching and training in the world. This is accomplished by using a best-practice, technique and skills-based approach that has proven to be the most efficient way for people to learn any complex skill, especially the complex ability we call leadership. More than 10,000 leaders in more than 2,000 companies have benefitted from Integral Leadership. The method is documented in the Integral Leadership book series (14+ books) which are all available on Amazon.

How is this different from all the other leadership coaching and training stuff out there?

The Integral Leadership approach is unlike any other leadership coaching or training program on the market. This methodology has proven to have consistent, successful results in every application. This is only possible using the unifying theory of leadership developed in collaboration with Ken Wilber at Integral Institute and the proprietary "Leadership Rosetta Stone" and "Universal Leadership Model" that reliably predicts which leadership approach (or style) will work with which people, teams and circumstance and which ones will be absolutely disastrous (and exactly why). Further, we are the only leadership development organization that provides a legitimate way to "measure leadership" because we are the only ones who have broken organizational leadership down into the three abilities and nine core practices (core competencies) and have provided specific observable, measurable behavioral "benchmarks" for lower, intermediate and higher ranges of proficiency in each skill. No one else has ever done this and you can only get this from us. We have been setting the pace and raising the bar for leadership development for 25 years and still going strong.

Will it work for me?

It works for people who do the work. Learning the technical and complex skill of leadership is no different than learning to play the guitar, learning a martial art, learning baseball or basketball, or learning to fly an airplane. The complex skill is made up of specific abilities (3) and each ability is comprised of discrete skill sets (3). If you are willing to put in the effort to learn the techniques and tools associated with the requisite skills, then this will work for you. If you are the type of person who would rather watch "inspirational" videos from entertainers (who call themselves motivational speakers), but aren't interested in learning and practices the techniques that are requisite for leadership skills then this will not work for you. If you complete the courses available on this website or complete the coaching programs offered here, then you will obtain the skills that all competent leaders possess.

Do you offer more in-depth help?

We have been training, advising, and coaching leaders and executives for 25 years . We offer a variety of ways to obtain the information and tools you need to reach your full leadership potential. For some, reading books is adequate. Others prefer a self-paced course with video lessons, handouts and tools that they can work through on their own schedule. If you want to benefit from in-person mentorship and coaching, we offer two levels of coaching in the form of weekly hands on small group coaching cohorts (on Zoom) as well as one-on-one coaching options for those that want it. See Courses page and Membership page in this website for details, or schedule an "Admissions Consultation" and we can review your specific situation, needs and budget and make expert recommendations.

Do you offer a guarantee?

We only want students and members who are a good fit for this practice-based approach to leadership development. This is not for everyone. We offer a 30-Day Money Back Guarantee. If you are not completely satisfied with your purchase, just let us know within 30-days and we will provide you with a no-questions-asked refund. If you pay for a 6-month coaching program with a single payment and you decide to leave the program before the six months is up, we will refund you any remaining months. Example if on month four you notify us via email that you are leaving the program, we will refund the two unused months of coaching. (We don't refund for coaching services already used.)
