LEAD NXT Leadership Development Programs
An immersive leadership journey that equips emerging and advancing leaders to think strategically, build trust intentionally, and turn relationships into a measurable source of personal, professional, and organizational growth.
WHAT THEY SAY
"We were elated to be nominated for the Next-Up Leadership Development Program by our executive sponsor. The experience was a wonderful opportunity to get out of our daily functions and really immerse ourselves in understanding how other exceptional leaders think and operate. Fantastic learning experience, a great community, highly recommend."

Strategy Execution Leader / Commercial Strategy Manager
Advancting the Art and Impact of
Relationship-Centric Leadership
The Lead NXT Leadership Development Programs encompass a two-tiered journey in relationship-centric leadership designed to grow high-potential and high-impact leaders.
-
The first tier, Next-Up, equips emerging leaders with the foundational mindsets, behaviors, and frameworks to lead with purpose, build trust, and translate relationships into measurable results.
-
The second tier, All-In, advances the Next-Up foundation (prerequisite) into enterprise-level leadership—focusing on strategic thinking, ruthless prioritization, exceptional talent development, and Co-Creation to drive net-new value across the organization.
Together, Lead NXT transforms capable managers into connected, visionary leaders who align relationships, strategy, and execution to create lasting competitive advantage.

WHAT THEY SAY
Attending RES'24 was an invaluable experience that provided deeper self-awareness and opened the door to connecting with individuals I might not have encountered otherwise. I especially appreciated meeting the Next-Up leaders and Senior Executives, whose insights were truly inspiring. This event encouraged everyone to step beyond their comfort zones, fostering an environment where learning and enjoyment came naturally, regardless of background. I am excited to share the knowledge I've gained with others and look forward to returning for RES'25.
