The two laws of vertical development

Organizations cannot evolve beyond their executive team’s level of vertical development.
The most effective way to shift the altitude of an organization is to shift the vertical altitude of its executive team

Leadership development programs

These are customizable workshops series designed to help leaders vertically develop. Popular series include:

Vertical Development Journey (four workshops)

An overview of what vertical development is, why it is important, and how to go about vertically developing.

The Four Success Mindset (four workshops)

A deep dive in the four Success Mindsets: Growth, Open, Promotion, and Outward Mindsets

Laying the Foundation of Effective Leadership (four workshops)

This series uses real case studies to highlight Mind 3.0 leaders and what they uniquely do to transform their organizations.

In-Depth Vertical Development Journey (four workshops)

In this series, participants are taken on a deep introspective journey designed to craft a personal vertical development plan and ensure progress toward greater elevation.

All workshops focus on elevating leaders through a focus on vertical development and mindsets.

The goal of any initial workshop is AWARENESS. We cannot vertically develop or upgrade our mindsets without getting clarity on where we currently are and where we need to go.

Most workshops come with a collective vertical development report and/or collective mindset report of the attendees in the workshop. This helps foster deep awareness and drive transformational conversations.

Helping leaders and employees elevate in their ability to have a positive impact within their spheres of responsibility.

In order for organizations to operate successfully into the future, they must develop the ability to change and transform. In order for agility to be present and transformation to occur, leaders and employees need to be change-ready (possess the right mindsets and be at the proper vertical altitude).

Best for leaders and employees of those going through or gearing up for change.

Diane A.Exexcutive Advisor

Ryan’s contributions have been invaluable in helping the HR team develop vertically and elevate their performance to new heights. His brilliance and strategic insights were instrumental in our collaboration and his expertise has significantly impacted our progress and growth. We are very grateful that you have embarked on this journey with us at UNI.

Bonita R.Training Advisor

While I am a fan of all of Ryan's work—his thought-provoking books, articles, videos, and conference speaking engagements—nothing has been as transformative as his direct coaching. With decades of experience in "horizontal" leadership development, I have become a strong advocate for "vertical" development. However, finding high-quality, focused resources for vertical development can be challenging. This is where Ryan excels. His guidance has significantly elevated my mindsets, benefiting my business and, more importantly, having a profound personal impact on me. For his work and the remarkable difference he has made, I am forever grateful. “

Cyndi W.CEO & Founder

Ryan has been a consultant to our organization during some critical transformation phases in our business. His insight and his practical solutions have been invaluable as we’ve navigated issues around growth mindset, purpose, culture, and accountability. Ryan’s knowledge coupled with his commitment to our success as a team has had not only made a significant impact on our team, but also our entire organization.

Brent Y.HR Senior Director

Ryan has been engaged over the past two years to work with our leadership team and has made outstanding contributions, resulting brilliant outcomes. His input has been important, as we crossed through a critical cultural change, aiming to open mindsets and to define necessary improvements for the team and business. Ryan guided our leadership team through this period with enthusiasm and confidence. I have a lot of respect for his work and dedication.

Jesse T.General Manager

The 360-feedback process designed around mindset was challenging. However, Ryan’s coaching and ideas for how to categorize the feedback in a meaningful way was very helpful. Ultimately, his process helped me uncover a mental block that was preventing me from moving forward with some really important work and that opened up lots of great options for how to proceed.
