IT’S TIME TO RAISE OUR GAME
+ LOW TRUST AND WEAK ALIGNMENT
Limited candor, accountability, and siloed loyalties hold back our leadership team’s ability to execute at peak performance, negatively impacting the organization.
+ POOR TEAMWORK
Little connection among dispersed teammates with segregated lanes of responsibility.
+ FAILURE TO IMPROVE AND ADAPT
Organizations that skip structured, transparent debriefs miss opportunities for learning, growth, and sustained high performance.
RAISE YOUR HAND IF THIS IS YOU…
“We’re so focused on meetings, problem-solving, and hitting deadlines that we rarely step back to refine how we operate as a leadership team. We limit our impact, cause confusion, and risk leading in silos instead of as a unified force.”
“I barely know some of the new members of our leadership team beyond polite interactions. We work OK together, but stronger relationships would foster deeper trust, better collaboration, and a greater impact on the company.”
“We rarely take the time to debrief our performance. Egos, excuses, and discomfort with honest feedback get in the way of objectively identifying gaps and driving improvement. As a result, only a few voices dominate the conversation, while real opportunities for growth are overlooked.”
WHAT IF WE SAID THERE COULD BE A BETTER WAY?
A unique, immersive experience that will challenge you and your team to take the steps to lineup, fly “Blue Angels close,” and begin to take your performance to a new level.

“Thank you George and Russ for leading our Senior Executives through the USS Ambition Experience.”
“The learnings, bonding, and communications we experienced were like no other team-building exercise we have ever been through. The care and customization you both invested in curating the curriculum to match our needs was refreshing and created an exhilarating two days! The skills we absorbed are without a doubt going to pay tremendous dividends for years to come. I could not recommend the program more highly.”

ABOUT
LEADERS ARE BUILT NOT BORN.
Over 30 years of experience leading high-performance organizations:
Leadership requires vision, trust, and positive energy under pressure. While civilian businesses can hire from outside, the military must grow its leaders. As a combat F/A-18 pilot, Topgun instructor, and Blue Angels flight leader, I commanded high-performance teams with life-and-death consequences. As a civilian, I build leaders who excel in any arena. My experience proves that leadership can be taught; I equip clients to lead with confidence, clarity, and impact.
HERE'S WHAT LEADERS ARE SAYING
