Six weeks. One cohort.
One powerful leadership reset.
The Agent of Change is a six-week experiential leadership program that combines inclusion strategy, behavioral science, brave conversations, and mental fitness into one cohesive journey. In week one you'll choose one real change for your team, and you'll work on it every week after, moving through four stages: discover, design, develop, and sustain. Every session builds on the last, so by week six you're leading differently and you have the change to show for it.
Week 1 Building Belonging From on the roster to heard in the room +
When people feel like they truly belong, they show up differently - more engaged, more creative, more committed. This week, we explore what belonging actually looks like in the workplace, why psychological safety is the foundation of inclusive culture, and how to start building it on your team today.
You'll reflect on your own experiences of belonging and exclusion, examine real organizational case studies, and leave with a clear understanding of what your team needs to thrive.
Your change project: choose the one thing about how your team works that you want to be different by week six.
Week 2 Intercultural Self-Awareness From leading on autopilot to seeing yourself clearly +
Effective leadership across differences starts with knowing your own cultural lens. This week, we examine the cultural dimensions that shape how we communicate, make decisions, and interpret the world - and how our unconscious biases show up at work.
This isn't about assigning blame. It's about building the self-awareness that makes you a stronger, more empathetic leader.
As part of this week, participants complete the Intercultural Development Inventory (IDI) - a research-validated assessment that measures intercultural competence. Each participant then receives a private 1:1 coaching session with Stef to review their results and co-create a personalized Intercultural Development Plan.
Your change project: find your own part in the pattern you want to change.
Week 3 Psychological Safety & High-Performing Teams From hoping people speak up to building a team where they do +
Research consistently shows that the highest-performing teams are the safest ones - where people feel free to take risks, speak up, and be honest. This week, we look at your team's current climate and design concrete action steps to build the trust and resilience that drive real results.
Your change project: diagnose it with three questions and take your first visible action.
Week 4 Data-Informed Team Dynamics From “he’s difficult” to a design problem you can solve +
This is where behavioral science meets leadership practice. We go hands-on with the Predictive Index (PI) - a powerful tool for understanding what drives each person on your team, where the strengths are, and where the gaps are. You'll leave with a data-informed strategy for building a team that actually works together.
Your change project: plan for resistance and pick your first recruit.
Week 5 Advocacy & Brave Conversations From bystander to the one who speaks up +
Allyship isn't a label - it's a practice. This week, we define what it means to show up as an advocate and build the skills to initiate and navigate the conversations that most people avoid. Courageous communication. Equity-focused dialogue. Trust-centered leadership.
You'll practice in real scenarios, debrief as a group, and leave more confident than you arrived.
Your change project: have the conversation your change needs.
Week 6 Mental Fitness for Sustainable Leadership From running on willpower to a practice that lasts +
The final week is about you - your resilience, your energy, and your plan for sustaining this work for the long haul. Inclusive leadership is demanding. Mental fitness isn't a luxury; it's what allows you to keep showing up for your team, your organization, and yourself.
You'll leave with a personalized mental fitness plan and a clear vision of the leader you're becoming.
Your change project: build the practice that keeps it going, and report on what changed.
