Leadership Academy
Monthly live sessions that keep leadership principles active across your organization.
Leadership in human-service environments is demanding. The pace and emotional load rarely allow time to pause, reflect, or reset.
The Training Grounds Leadership Academy offers a structured, virtual space each month for leaders to keep essential leadership principles front of mind without adding more to their plate.
Each monthly one-hour session, led by James Freeman, blends reflection, practice, and peer dialogue to strengthen steadiness, communication, and adaptability in real-world contexts.
