What is LEAP?

LEAP (Learn, Excel, Achieve, Perform) is a structured 6-month leadership development program concluding with a capstone project and presentation demonstrating how they’ve applied key learnings. LEAP is designed to strengthen core leadership skills, build confidence, and foster meaningful connections with other leaders. Each month includes:

Commitment:

✅ A 3-hour in-person session (4th Thursday of the month) from 2:00 – 5:00 PM

✅ Prework (30 minutes or less) to prepare for each session

✅ Small group accountability meetings between sessions for deeper learning and connection

This program is ideal for leaders who manage others, whether that’s an internal team, contractors, or vendors.

“After 15+ years in management, I went into The Mettise Leadership Training knowing I’d gain valuable insights—but I was surprised by just how much it helped me in ways I didn’t even realize I needed. It reinforced the skills I already had while tackling areas I had long avoided, making them feel far less daunting. Now, I have a solid playbook with clear, actionable steps to approach what once felt like uncomfortable conversations. Instead of dreading them, I now see them as opportunities for positive, productive outcomes.”

“For nearly a decade, I’ve had the privilege of engaging with the Mettise team in various capacities, and each experience raises the bar. Every leadership training session I have attended not only meets but exceeds my expectations, providing me with invaluable insights I can apply to both my personal and professional daily life."

“The training our teams received from Mettise over the past two years has had a wonderful impact to all attendees. We can confidently attest to the valuable skills our leaders have gained through the training sessions, as well as the strong team-building it has fostered. The tools taught from the sessions has had an immediate impact and will allow them continued growth as leaders.”

“I completed the Mettise Leadership Bootcamp in January, 2025. I was impressed. All the lessons for leadership were distilled and succinctly presented in a thoughtful and intelligent way. Our facilitator really got to know each attendee. I felt as if the training was tailored to me!”
