Help your employees find leadership fulfillment and leave frustration behind.
As an executive, one of your biggest frustrations comes when one of your star players promotes…and flops. You watch as your high-performing employee transforms into a lackluster leader.
You’re left scratching your head wondering…why?
Why aren't they performing in their new role?
Why won't they do what’s needed?
Why can’t they seem to build high-performance teams?
Why is it that sometimes they perform brilliantly and sometimes they fall flat?
And why haven’t you been able to replicate the brilliance or prevent the fall?
It’s clearly not for lack of aptitude, guidance, or training.
But knowledge and training can only produce the potential for them to be effective in their new role. It’s the integration and embodiment of the information, knowledge, training, and guidance that create a successful leader.
First Promotion Transition provides the missing link between knowledge and integration – and bridges the gap between your star employee’s potential as a new leader and their success.
Leadership isn’t always what your employees think it is.
The core concept of leadership is simple: being responsible for more than what one person can accomplish alone. Yet, many high achievers don’t realize how straightforward this truly is.
They don’t realize that the purpose of leadership is to achieve success beyond personal or individual bandwidth. And that leadership has more to do with who you are than what you do.

The Course
The First Promotion Transition Certificate Course consists of ten lessons that guide your employees to successfully transition from doing high-level work to making sure high-level work gets done.
Concepts in this innovative and inspired program range from visceral fulfillment to a new understanding of trust to learning to evaluate your own development.
“This course introduced a whole new perspective on leadership! I’ve gained a wealth of information relevant to my role. Take the course; you won’t regret it!”
– Lynda Hyland, Agile Partner
The recommended pace for the course is ten weeks. The first five weeks of the course walk your employees through their transition into leadership. The second five weeks are about refinement.
Study time for each lesson was intentionally designed to be short and potent – to supercharge your employee’s development without taking them away from their day job.
The power of the implementation exercises kick in immediately. As your employees interact on the job, refine their understanding of the concepts and make them their own, the principles of First Promotion Transition become second nature.
The pacing of the lessons was just right for allowing me to absorb the material
– Participant, The First Promotion Transition Certificate Course
When completed as a self-study and self-paced program, the First Promotion Transition Certificate Course is unquestionably effective. When done with a group of peers it becomes even more impactful.
But the program is most empowering when completed as an organized group under the guidance of an executive. Your employees will see the embodiment of leadership in action as they transform into high-performance team builders.
At the completion of all ten lessons a First Promotion Transition Certification will be awarded. And your employees will be empowered with the embodied tools of a prosperous leadership career.
“I think Scott provided important lessons in several key areas, but the biggest takeaway for me was the importance of having a growth mindset and fostering that mindset in the people they manage.”
