Program Overview

Strive’s Leadership Circles are seven week-long community-based leadership development programs to help you become the leader you and your team want.

Circle Kick-Off Dinner

Meet the other 10-15 members of your cohort in-person to discuss your leadership goals and challenges, and to explore the demands of leading with the nuance of race and gender in the workplace.

Coaching Kick-Off

Meet 1:1 with your executive coach to define your values, share your personal and professional path, and kickstart your 360 inventory.

Classes meet every other week for 2hrs from 6-8PM

Class 1: Conducting Critical Conversations

The most important conversations to have are often the most difficult ones. At work, this leads to frustration and dashed expectations. However, having difficult conversations around performance, compensation, mentorship, feedback, and more is a learned skill. We work through several scenarios and share frameworks for approaching those conversations.

Class 2: Managing Up

Great leaders are advocates for themselves and their team, pushing for promotions, resources, opportunities and fighting scope creep. In this class, you’ll learn both how to advocate, and how to develop high-leverage relationships with advisors, mentors, and sponsors to set a foundation for future advocacy.

Class 3: Career Development

Helping reports navigate their careers is often the most high-risk/high-reward part of management. Circle participants will learn to have conversations around the 3Ps of career development: promotions, performance improvement plans, and pathing.

360 Reveal + Personal Development Plan

Meet with your executive coach to discuss your 360 results. You will discuss how others perceive your professional personality and leadership competencies, and develop a personalized professional development plan.

Circle Closing

Wrap up the cohort experience with another in-person dinner with your community. You will summarize your learning experience and practice what you’ve learned in role plays with professional actors.

Strive's Program Combines Live, Instructor-led Classes with Asynchronous Online Learning

Strive’s Learning Platform is Intuitive and Engaging, Building Community and Ongoing Commitment

Skills Developed

Strive’s Circles combine self-discovery and skill development to help managers become leaders. The self discovery occurs through community engagement and executive coaching (including the 360), while the skill development is largely during the three remote classes.

During the program, you will complete one class on each of the below skills. These skills are essential for both high performing individual contributors and new managers to reach the next level at work.

Critical Conversations

Many emerging leaders avoid conflict, failing to give necessary feedback or unblock x-functional roadblocks. Managers will learn to have productive, mutually beneficial difficult conversations.

Managing Up

Great leaders are advocates for themselves and their team, pushing for promotions, resources, opportunities, and fighting scope creep. You will learn how to advocate and develop high-leverage relationships with advisors, mentors, and sponsors to set a foundation for future advocacy.

Career Pathing

Helping reports navigate their careers is often the most high-risk/high-reward part of management. Circle participants will learn to have conversations around promotions, performance improvement plans, and career pathing.

Engaged Learners

Strive participants love the unique combination of exceptional instructors, relevant curriculum, and modern product experience.
