Introducing "Ignite Your Leadership"
Your Leadership Quick Starter!
Forget wading through endless advice. Ignite Your Leadership is a focused, 60-minute, interactive workshop with me, Josh Ellison, designed to give you immediate clarity and an actionable plan to quick start your leadership.
My Promise to You:
In 60 minutes or less, I will help you identify at least one key leadership skill you can focus your efforts on for high impact, complete with a clear actionable step to address it. You'll leave with a specific, implementable strategy you can begin using immediately to improve your leadership effectiveness.
Here’s How We’ll Ignite Your Leadership in 3 Simple Steps:
Step 1: Leadership Diagnostic
Before the Ignite Your Leadership workshop, you'll complete a comprehensive self-evaluation crafted to diagnose your perceived leadership effectiveness. This will inform your focus.
Step 2: Interactive Workshop
Attend a 60-minute interactive workshop where we'll dive into your diagnostic, pinpoint that high-impact focus skill, and create a gameplan with specific actions to take and habits you can practice.
Step 3: Implement Your Gameplan
You now know where to start and focus your leadership efforts. This is when you'll take daily action on your plan, and review your progress regularly so you can adapt as needed.
What You'll Come Away With
Diagnostic Report
A personalized 25+ page leadership diagnostic report highlighting the high-impact skill you can immediately focus on to improve your leadership. No more guessing!
Actionable Plan
A digital interactive plan on the Leader Circles portal with the actions needed to develop your leadership focus skill so you can track your progress and achieve the results you want.
Confidence Boost
A boost of confidence as you begin implementing your plan. You'll likely feel certain and good about your leadership efforts, especially once you start to see your progress.
All of this for just $99. It's a small investment for a valuable shift.
Imagine This... What If Your Days Were Different?
What if, instead of the constant struggle, your days went more like this...
Energized
In the Zone
Fulfilled
The "Focused & Energized" Morning: "You wake up before your alarm, not with a jolt of anxiety, but with a clear sense of purpose for your leadership that day. You know exactly which skill you're intentionally developing, and you feel energized by the progress you're making, ready to tackle challenges with a newfound calm."
The "Team That Gets It" Meeting: "You lead your team meeting, and the communication flows. You're coaching a direct report through a tricky situation, and they get it, taking ownership and finding a solution. You see your influence creating a ripple effect of competence and confidence around you."
The "I Actually Made a Difference" Evening: "You reflect on your day and realize you didn't just fight fires. You strategically moved key projects forward, your team felt supported, and you handled a difficult conversation with grace and authenticity. You feel a deep sense of pride and accomplishment, knowing you're truly growing as a leader."
This isn't just wishful thinking. The Ignite Your Leadership workshop is designed to be the spark that shows you this kind of leadership is within your reach. It solves that initial, frustrating problem of "Where do I start?"
But often, that first spark illuminates a bigger field to explore and address...
You'll get clarity on that first crucial step, and you might also realize, "Wow, there's a lot more I could focus on to really transform my leadership, my team and my business. I could really use ongoing support and a deeper dive to get the full picture and make true lasting impact."
And that’s where the journey can continue...
Want to keep that bonfire blazing?

Ignite Your Leadership is your powerful fire starter. For those ready to build on that initial momentum and truly transform their leadership across the board, the Focus Your Leadership Program is the next step.

The FYL 3-Phase Process for Lasting Transformation
This isn't about fluffy theories; it's about a tailored, iterative process designed to meet you exactly where you are and help you build the bridge to where you want to be. We're talking a transformative path, not a quick detour. Here’s a peek at how we make the magic happen together:
The "Aha!" Phase
(Evaluate Your Leadership)
First, we get real. We’ll use cool tools like 360° Leadership Diagnostics and the Emergenetics Profile to uncover your superpowers, those sneaky blind spots (we all have 'em!), and what truly makes you tick as a leader. Think of it as getting your leadership DNA mapped – empowering, insightful, and the first step to quieting that inner critic.
The "Game Plan" Phase
(Plan Your Leadership)
Armed with all those juicy insights from your 360° feedback, we roll up our sleeves and craft your personalized leadership roadmap. No generic GPS here! We'll pinpoint your top-priority growth areas and map out clear, actionable steps and habits you can start using immediately to see and feel a difference.
The "Let's Do This!" Phase (Implement Your Plan)
This is where the real fun begins! You'll take focused, daily action on your plan. And the best part? You're not flying solo. We'll have regular check-ins to celebrate your wins (big and small!), make any tweaks needed, and ensure you've got the support and accountability to keep that momentum rockin'. It's all about embracing change and making awesome impact!

Meet Your Guide – Josh Ellison (That's Me!)
For more than 10 years now, I've been coaching hundreds of leaders and managers, and facilitating literally thousands of meetings and workshops. But my journey didn't start there. I've spent over 20 years in leadership and management roles myself – as a CFO, a business owner, and a Vistage Chair. I’ve been called a "leader of leaders" and even "the CEO whisperer."
I intimately understand the weight you're carrying and how lonely it can feel at times. My mission with Leader Circles is to help busy leaders like you integrate personal and professional growth and support into your daily lives with minimal friction and maximum impact.
My style is calm, kind, and authentic, and I'm also here to challenge you because I'm invested in your growth and want to see you succeed. Expect integrity, a bit of fun and humor (yes, even some well-placed sarcasm!), and a relentless focus on helping you achieve your goals. When I'm not working with leaders, you might find me walking with my wife, Kirsten, hanging with my adult kids, savoring an over-priced coffee, or enjoying some jazz with a Trail's End bourbon Old Fashioned.Don't Just Take My Word For It...
I've had the privilege of working with hundreds of incredible leaders, helping them discover, enhance, and unleash their inherent strengths.

Josh provided structure and encouragement to help me better lead my team, set and achieve goals, and dig deeper into what I wanted to achieve. I highly recommend him...
