“My 3 key learnings from ENBL Intensive were 1) the concept of whole person. Invest time there first, the rest will fall in to place. 2) up-leveling my communication style with execs and 3) building and fostering relationships across different functions”
— MAX WOOLF, Manager of Customer Success at Fountain
 

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

 

Peer Cohorts > Alone

  • Peers: You’ll gain new perspectives, ideas, encouragement, feedback and support by meeting with the same group of committed peers regularly who are also learning how to be better leaders.

  • Experienced Mentors: You’ll get the guidance you need from experienced startup leaders who have the experience of failing miserably (many times) and succeeding gracefully…so you can learn faster and don’t make the same mistakes.

Interactive Learning > One way Lecture

  • Doing, Over & Over: You’ll spend 20% of the time learning new skills and 80% of the time practicing those skills, getting feedback and then try again and again until you “get it”.

  • Real Stuff That Matters: 100% of the learning content are the questions, challenges and successes that you and your peers are currently experiencing. Mentors will also share their experiences to provide perspectives.  

  • Safe, Confidential Space: You’ll be in a private, non-judgmental space where you can bring your whole self and not worry about having the “perfect answer” or not practicing a new skill “perfectly”.

Continuous Feedback > Winging it

  • Actionable Feedback: You’ll gain confidence when you’re doing it “right” and know what adjustments to make when you’re doing it “not so right” thanks to the actionable feedback you’ll get from your peers and mentor.

  • Track Progress: In each session, you’ll be journaling your progress to see how far you’ve come and patterns you can act on.

  • You’ll get to experience the same type of leadership coaching most founders and senior leaders get. Each month, you’ll meet with your ENBL Mentor where you’ll review topics and challenges that are top of mind for you.
