7-Week Part-Time Foundations Bootcamp
ENBL is a new kind of management training and coaching program purposely designed to address the unique challenges emerging leaders (0-3 years of management experience) face building and growing teams at early stage startups.
Have you ever been to a concert or vacation that you didn’t want to end? Yea, our bootcamps are kind of like that. You’ll start your experience with 7-10 emerging leaders just like you by attending a 2 day in-person intensive workshop in beautiful Oakland, California. And then over the course of the remaining 7 weeks, you’ll meet weekly with the same cohort over Zoom video conference. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll throw yourself across the floor to prevent your peer from falling, you’ll hold your peers accountable and you’ll learn a shit ton of leadership stuff you’ll be able to apply immediately.
Your ENBL coaches will be your guides and cover the key management fundamentals using case studies, frameworks, role playing and exercises. We don’t attempt to cover every management concept under the sun. Instead, we focus on the most critical skills startup leaders need to thrive in a constantly changing environment including defining team and individual success, focusing on the whole person, effective communication & collaboration, empowering delegation and ruthless prioritization.
By the end of the program, you will accelerate sustainable growth in your company and career by applying the knowledge and tools you’ve gained to build high performing teams who love working for you.
FOUNDATIONS BOOTCAMP
CONTEXT SPECIFIC FUNDAMENTALS
We cover the management fundamentals by using real world case studies and proven tools. All the fluff is left in the garbage. And to further enhance your learning, you’ll be bringing your own real world examples and challenges at your startup and getting real-time feedback, support and solutions from your peers and ENBL coaches.
EXPERIENCED AND PASSIONATE COACHES
No one climbs Mt. Everest on their own. Learning to lead is a beautiful journey with ups and downs. And the best leaders in the business have relied on trusted sherpas who know their shit and have real world experiences. ENBL coaches are experienced sherpas who’ve built high performing teams with the highest employee retention and career promotion rates. We gave a shit (in a good way) back when we were leading teams. And today, we give a shit about support emerging leaders like you.
HIGH INTENSITY INTERVAL TRAINING (HIIT).
No one reaches their health fitness goals by attending just one workout. Like the crazies (in a good way) at Soul Cycle and Crossfit, these people with a wide range of fitness levels understand that working out must become a weekly (and sometimes daily) habit to sustain their fitness goals. At ENBL, our sessions feel like HIIT workouts. We’ve got a Foundations Bootcamp to help kickstart your journey to becoming an amazing leader who builds high performing teams. And after successfully completing bootcamp, we offer weekly drop-in classes (like Soul Cycle and Crossfit) to “workout” on different leadership skills. For example, Mondays 7-8am is a “Critical Feedback” workout. On Thursdays 6-7pm is a “Managing Up” workout.
PEER COMMUNITY
Leadership can sometimes feel lonely. Am I doing it right? What am I missing? Oh gawd, how do I fire an underperforming employee everyone loves? At ENBL, we curate small groups of 7-10 emerging leaders from different startups just like you: rock stars who want to get better at leadership every single day. We foster an environment of confidentiality, trust, no judgement, support and accountability. As a tribe, you’ll start your ENBL experience together in the Foundations Bootcamp and in the following days, weeks, months (and possibly years) you’ll continuing supporting and challenging each other during your highs and lows.
