OPEN SPRINT GROUPS

Grow your skills
with ambitious peers

Join a small group of leaders from different organizations and work on a concrete leadership challenge — with peer sparring, expert coaching, and a hack that makes new behavior stick.

The Execution Loop with the Hack

How the Group Sprint works

Benefit from cross-industry peer sparring on top of expert coaching in the open group format..

Who this is for

Will you accept the challenge?

Open Sprint Groups are for leaders who want to grow beyond their current environment — with the structure, accountability, and honest feedback that only a cross-industry peer group provides.

Leaders seeking outside perspective

Inside your organization, feedback is filtered by politics and hierarchy. In a Sprint Group, you get candid perspectives from leaders who have no reason to hold back — and every reason to help you grow.

Leaders investing in themselves

Your company doesn't offer a program that challenges you. The Sprint Group lets you take ownership of your development with a proven, execution-based format. No waiting for P&C.

Leaders who grow best with others

Some people grow fastest when they reflect with peers, hear how others tackle similar challenges, and are held accountable by people who understand the reality of leading.

The Power of the group

Learn from others, grow with others

What makes the group format uniquely powerful — and different from doing it alone.

Peer sparring in small groups

You're placed in a sparring group of 3–4 leaders who meet regularly during the Loop. Share real experiences, challenge each other's thinking, and build the kind of trust that accelerates growth.

Cross-industry perspectives

Your peers come from different organizations and industries. Fresh perspectives. No internal politics. The surprising discovery that leadership challenges are more universal than you think.

Coached group sessions

Led by an experienced coach, these sessions go deeper than sparring. Arrive with focused questions from your hack execution — leave with patterns uncovered, challenges reframed, and solutions found.

Accountability hard to escape

When you commit to a hack in front of peers doing the same, there's a productive social pressure to follow through. Nobody wants to be the one who didn't do the work.

Don't wait...

Why it works

Growth drivers in every Sprint

Leadership growth doesn't come from knowledge. It requires practice, reflection, feedback, and repetition — all built into The Execution Loop with Hack.

Focused practice

One hack, one topic, 8 weeks. Deep enough for new behavior to become automatic — not just understood.

Reflection loops

Your workbook guides structured reflection after every hack execution. Action → reflection → adjusted action.

Honest feedback

Peers with no agenda see your blind spots clearly and tell you what your team might not.

Real-world execution

You don't simulate leadership. You practice it with your actual team, in your actual work.

Expert coaching

Your coach brings frameworks, experience, and the question that unlocks your next breakthrough.
