Positions can be taken; leadership cannot be.

A leader can transform a twelve-million-dollar deficit into a thirty-six-million-dollar surplus and still walk on the razor’s edge. They can take a winless team to a championship season and be forgotten tomorrow. Shawn Foster knows; he’s done it. Results don’t secure positions. Leadership requires self-assured actions that influence others.

The key to leadership development is leadership awareness: Knowing who you are and operating with impact in your specific context. Positions can be taken; leadership cannot be.

 

Global Training

Think keynote speaking followed by consultation. A2 uses global training to introduce leaders to high-level and high-impact leadership awareness that moves the needle instantly. Leaders are prepared for change.

Group Apprenticeship

A2 apprentices experience group training through workshops that “walk them through” leadership awareness in multiple contexts. We traverse issues like funding loss, personal attacks, political and policy shifts, moral dilemmas, crisis preparation, channeling defiance resolve, etc. Leaders are trained to change.

One-to-One Mentoring

During sharply transitional periods, one-to-one mentoring enables leaders to drive impact in circumstances that oppose their natural proclivities. Everyone needs help. A2 incorporates one-to-one mentorship to foster network-building skills that keep leaders from falling. Leaders are guided in change.

Vision

Secure leaders leading an insecure world.

A2 Enterprises refutes the leadership didactic that takes itself too seriously. In turn, we also abhor flimsy leadership. A2 embraces both rigidity and fluidity. For a house to stand, it must be built on a firm foundation, yes, but for a home to be inviting, it must practice hospitality. We require both.

What sets A2 Enterprises apart is its experiential practice and keen understanding. We lead balance; we don’t seek it. Balancing scales by withholding and adding is a futile practice. We practice full-force leadership and lift from the center. The center keeps the balance; the leadership creates the lift. But how do we learn to lift this way? Our trainings require practice. Our programs incorporate real-world and real-time actions. We do not just absorb; we do!
