When you invest in your people, it pays off.
The success of a company depends on its leaders, and with more millennials entering management, it’s critical to prepare them for not only day-to-day activities but how to show up and be effective within the organization.
Velocity’s Leadership Academy is designed for leaders who are looking to grow their skills and become more effective in their roles.
Structured around the 70/20/10 model, we provide strategic and engaging workshops, toolkits, frameworks, homework, and group cohort coaching proven to build future leaders. The Cohort Model helps solidify learnings from the workshops so that strategies can be implemented right away.

The Velocity Leadership Academy results in more effective leaders, stronger company culture, and higher retention.
Velocity customizes the content within the program to align to your industry or cohort-specific areas of development. This ensures that participants — and each organization — get the most out of the experience as it aligns to company strategy.
We also recommend pairing the program with Executive Coaching to offer additional, one-on-one support for participants to solidify learnings and practices.
What Participants Say About the Leadership Academy
“Throughout the program you are provided tools and resources that since the completion of the program I have referenced and applied in the moment.”
“A great addition to the program was working with my coach. He was easy to talk to and gave advice and tools that made the program come full circle.”
“This is now my third variation of a leadership / development program, and this one by Velocity blew the other ones away. From the delivery approach, engagement in meetings, and support offered it went a long way for me. I still have quite a way to go and a lot to learn still in my career, but the tools and mindset shift I walked away with from your program will hopefully allow me to grow both inside and outside of the workplace moving forward.”
