 The Leadership Gap is Real.

Lack of leadership development costs organizations $$ BILLIONS $$ annually.

Without training, leaders fail.

85%

of employees enter leadership roles with no formal training.

Bad bosses cause high turnover.

65%

of people quit their jobs because of their boss.

No skills means no promotion.

89%

of organizations say their leadership pipeline isn't where it needs to be.

Leaders shape motivation.

70% 

of motivation, commitment, and how your team feels at work comes down to the quality of leadership.

We've Seen What Bad Leadership Costs.

We did something about it.

We are Dr. Kristine Medyanik and Dr. Christine Fonner. Between the two of us, we’ve sat in thousands of rooms with leaders at every level, in just about every sector and we keep seeing the same thing:

Smart, well-intentioned people are promoted into leadership with no real preparation for what leading people actually requires.

We’ve both experienced the cost of that gap firsthand. We’ve worked under leaders who led with fear. We’ve seen talented people leave organizations — not because the work wasn’t right, but because the leadership wasn’t. 

So, we’ve dedicated our careers to doing something about it.

The next generation of leaders are looking for your investment in them.

87%

of 30-45 year olds say professional development is a priority.

 The Evolving Leader Fellowship is what happens when two expert practitioners who refuse to accept the status quo decide to build something better. Not just more training you have to sit through to check the box. We built a program to create access for everyone to engage in genuine and practical growth. Bonus - you get to connect to an amazing community of others just as committed as you to actually have impact to really change things.
