LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT
True leadership is as much about being as it is about doing.
Creating engaged, outcomes-driven organizations requires a sea-change in how we develop leaders. At Wind + Sail, we approach leader development differently. Skill-based programs are insufficient. The invisible forces that drive employee experience, culture and performance are equally shaped by leaders’ energy, awareness and mindset. Our proven approach creates communities of evolved, mindful, skillful leaders.

ABOUT US
Why Clients choose Wind + Sail

Exceptionally Qualified
The Wind + Sail team brings decades of experience and training from distinguished organizations and universities in leadership development, coaching, learning design and human capital strategy. Our coaches meet PCC-level International Coaching Federation standards and bring thousands of hours of 1:1 coaching experience to our clients. Carefully constructed, our team represents a diversity of backgrounds across multiple industries.
Enduring Collective Impact
We work with cohorts of leaders, executives, and their teams. Time and again, we see that when teams of leaders level up collectively, a ripple of positive results cascades across the organization. As leaders transform and grow in community, they lean into new ways of leading together and become a united force for lasting change.
Bridge Building
Through our team and group programming, Wind + Sail partners with clients to build bridges within and outside of each cohort. Through our model, relationships deepen and trust is forged. As leaders face new challenges, it is these connections that bridge the gaps to productive collaboration, increased innovation, and results.
“The Wind + Sail L6 program is by far the best investment I have ever made into my business. We had extremely high hopes for what this program could accomplish for our leaders and company, and Wind + Sail blew away our lofty expectations. As a founder, I wasn't expecting I’d also level up in my own personal leadership and work strategies - and I could not be happier.”
— Eric Green, CEO and Founder, WPD Management
