Finding Your Leadership Voice is a one-week, in-person intensive built on the foundational practices of the Higher Ambition Leadership Institute (HALI)—an approach refined with more than 300 leaders over the past twelve years.
Leadership is a journey of inquiry. We delve into what drives them, the highs and lows of their career, and the lessons learned from good and bad bosses. Then, through an intense and iterative process, each leader creates their own leadership model—a compass for turbulent times.
Participating organizations enroll a group of four to six leaders, creating a multi-company cohort, a core feature of the HALI experience.
Program snapshot
ONE WEEK. IN PERSON. IMMERSIVE
Beginning Monday afternoon and concluding by noon Friday, the experience creates dedicated space to gain perspective, experiment with new practices, and get clear about how you want to lead.
PROGRAM OUTCOMES
The central outcome of the week is your personal leadership model—a clear articulation of the leader you intend to be and a practical compass you can return to when the answers aren't obvious.
You'll leave with:
Your leadership model — what you stand for, how you intend to lead, and what others can expect from you.
Your recorded leadership declaration — your model expressed in your own words and voice.
Greater command of your attention — practices for staying grounded and focused on what matters amid competing demands.
A 100-day plan — one intention, two priorities, and three practices for bringing your model to life.
Faculty
METTE NORGAARD, PhD
Mette Norgaard co-created the HALI experience and has spent her career exploring what allows leaders to show up fully when the stakes are high. Her work draws from classic leadership theory as well as neuroscience, martial arts, and other disciplines to explore leadership as an embodied practice—not simply what we say, but how we show up.
Together with Doug Conant, Mette wrote the New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestseller TouchPoints, exploring how leadership happens in even the smallest moments. Her latest work, Leading with Aliveness, focuses on sensing the life force in ourselves and recognizing it in others.
