Leadership Development

Ignite Change Global partners with organizations to design and deliver leadership development programs and group and team coaching. Every engagement is built around your goals, your culture, and the leadership challenges you need to address.

Programs are supported by Everything DiSC® Catalyst and, where appropriate, by organizational diagnostics from John Mattone Global — giving leaders and leadership teams the data they need to understand where they stand and a practical foundation for the work ahead. Assessment integration, coaching components, and program structure are scoped to your organizational context and the outcomes you need to achieve.

What You Can Expect

Organizations that invest in structured leadership development with Ignite Change Global typically see lasting behavioral change. Some examples include:

• Stronger accountability and feedback practices across leadership levels, with leaders equipped to set clear expectations and follow through consistently
• Greater leadership consistency, with senior leaders aligned on the behaviors they are asking others to develop
• Improved retention and engagement, as leaders build the skills and confidence to manage their teams more effectively
• Faster progress through transitions — whether scaling, integrating an acquisition, or building leadership bench strength for the next stage of growth
• Shared language and alignment across a leadership population, making accountability conversations clearer and more consistent regardless of who is having them

Program Design and Delivery

For organizations investing in leadership development across multiple levels or leadership populations, we design and deliver comprehensive programs tailored to your strategy and goals. This includes discovery and diagnostic work, program architecture, assessment integration, cohort facilitation, group coaching, and a sustainability plan to ensure the learning continues after the formal program ends.

Group Coaching

Group coaching brings leaders together in structured cohorts to build skills, practice with real scenarios from their own work, and hold each other accountable between sessions. Each session integrates new content with applied group coaching — participants work through real situations, practice in pairs, give and receive feedback, and leave with specific commitments for the week ahead.

Where appropriate, group programs are supported by Everything DiSC Catalyst Workplace and/or Everything DiSC Worksmart — giving participants a shared language, personalized insights into their own style, and practical tools for the management skills the program is building. Participants retain access to the Catalyst platform after the program ends, so the learning continues in their daily work.

Cohorts can be designed for a specific leadership level, a defined initiative such as improved accountability, a cross-functional team, or a leadership population navigating a common transition. Group sizes, session cadence, assessment integration, and program length are scoped to your needs.

Team Coaching and Training

For intact teams — leadership teams, functional teams, or cross-functional groups — we offer facilitated team coaching and focused training on specific capabilities. Sessions are designed to strengthen alignment, communication, feedback practices, and team accountability. Team engagements can stand alone or integrate into a broader leadership development program.

Assessments That Ground the Work

Every program begins with a clear picture of where leaders and the organization stand today. We use a suite of research-backed assessments from Everything DiSC® and John Mattone Global to establish that baseline, inform program design, and give participants tools they can use long after the formal program ends.

Everything DiSC Catalyst Workplace

The foundation assessment for leadership development programs at every level. Catalyst gives each participant a deep understanding of their own DiSC style — how they communicate, what motivates them, how they respond under pressure, and how their style affects the people around them. The Catalyst platform also includes My Colleagues, a feature that gives leaders real-time, personalized guidance on how to work more effectively with specific people on their team. Participants retain access to the platform after the program ends, making it a lasting resource in the flow of daily work.

Everything DiSC Work of Leaders

Designed specifically for senior leaders and leadership teams. Where Catalyst focuses on interpersonal effectiveness, Work of Leaders connects each leader’s DiSC style to their effectiveness in the three core responsibilities of leadership — crafting a Vision, building Alignment, and championing Execution. Each leader receives an individual profile with specific development insights. A group report shows the leadership team’s collective tendencies across nine leadership drivers, making it an ideal foundation for ELT alignment sessions and full-day workshops. Based on four years of research with input from 300 subject matter experts across 150+ organizations.

Everything DiSC Worksmart

A Catalyst-based learning enhancement for Directors, Managers, and Supervisors. Worksmart includes five focused, one-hour modules built specifically for people in management roles — covering giving constructive feedback, managing conflict, empowering teams, navigating change, and motivating others. Each module combines personalized DiSC insights with practical application and an action plan participants can put to work immediately. Activated within the Catalyst platform, Worksmart integrates into the cohort program without requiring additional sessions, and remains accessible to participants after the program ends.

Culture Transformation Readiness Assessment — CTRA-40 (John Mattone Global)

An organizational diagnostic that surfaces data across six dimensions of leadership culture — including alignment on expectations, consistency of leadership behaviors, change mindset, and readiness to sustain new practices. Most valuable at the ELT or senior leadership level, the CTRA-40 identifies where the leadership team is well-positioned to drive change and where there are patterns that need attention before asking others to shift. Results feed directly into program design and ELT alignment sessions.

5 Cultures of Culture Assessment — 5CCA (John Mattone Global)

An enterprise-wide diagnostic that captures how the broader organization experiences the culture that leadership has created — what employees see, feel, and believe about accountability, clarity, feedback quality, and leadership consistency in their daily work. When used alongside the CTRA-40, the 5CCA closes the gap between what senior leaders believe they are modeling and what the rest of the organization actually experiences. That combination makes leadership alignment conversations more honest and more productive.

A note on assessment selection: Not every engagement uses every tool. Assessment selection is based on the program goals, the leadership population, and what will be most useful for the work ahead. We recommend what fits — not everything we offer.

Leadership Development for Every Level

Programs can be designed for any leadership level. Common cohort structures include:

Senior Leadership and Extended Leadership Team Programs For senior leader cohorts and executive leadership teams focused on organizational alignment, accountability, culture, and change leadership. Includes alignment sessions and optional integrated 1:1 coaching.

Advancing Leaders For experienced managers and senior directors expanding their scope, strengthening strategic thinking, and leading more effectively across teams and functions.

Emerging Leaders For newly promoted managers navigating the transition from individual contributor to people leader, building the foundational skills to lead a healthy, high-performing team.

Aspiring Leaders For individual contributors who are ready to develop a leadership mindset, build influence, and prepare for greater responsibility.

Program length, session structure, assessment integration, and coaching components are scoped based on your group size, goals, and timeline. Curriculum details are shared after an initial conversation.
