Upright Leadership Model

A structured leadership development journey that helps leaders build self-awareness, integrity, influence, and impact—delivered through executive coaching or group workshops.

A Clear, Practical Pathway for Leadership Growth

The Upright Leadership Model is both:

  • A leadership framework that explains how effective leadership develops from the inside out, and

  • A signature development program you or your organization can use to grow leaders.

 

It’s built on four core pillars:

  • Identity – Who you are and how you see yourself as a leader

  • Integrity – How consistently your actions align with your values

  • Influence – How you connect, communicate, and coach others

  • Impact – The measurable outcomes and culture you create

 

These pillars are developed through a three-stage journey:

  1. Discover – Build self-awareness and clarity

  2. Align – Turn values and identity into consistent behaviors and habits

  3. Activate – Lead others with confidence and drive meaningful results

 

You can experience the Upright Leadership Model as:

  • One-on-one executive/leadership coaching, or

  • A structured group workshop series for leaders and teams.

Common Challenges We Tackle Together

Executive clients frequently bring challenges such as:

​

  • A gap between stated values and actual behavior and decision-making

  • Feeling pulled in too many directions with no clear focus

  • Leading change while managing resistance and fatigue

  • Ongoing conflict or tension with peers, direct reports, or boards

  • Difficulty having hard conversations about performance, behavior, or alignment

  • Struggling to delegate and empower others effectively

  • Carrying the emotional weight of leadership: pressure, isolation, fatigue

  • Knowing they’ve outgrown old patterns but not yet living into the next level of leadership

  • Teams that lack trust, clarity, and psychological safety

  • Unclear leadership expectations and inconsistent role modeling across levels

​​

Instead of offering a one-off training, the model provides a development journey that integrates self-awareness, behavior change, and practical leadership skills.

Group Workshops / Cohort Program

Bring the Upright Leadership Model to a group of leaders inside your organization.

Can be delivered as:

  • A leadership cohort over several months

  • Intensive offsite combined with follow-up sessions

 

Each session blends:

  • Teaching of the Upright Leadership Model concepts

  • Application to real leadership challenges

  • Group discussion and reflection

  • Practical tools and exercises participants can use with their own teams

 

Best for:

  • Organizations wanting a shared leadership framework and language

  • Leadership teams needing stronger alignment and behavior consistency

  • Emerging leader programs or high-potential cohorts

Why Organizations Adopt the Upright Leadership Model

  • Creates a coherent, repeatable framework for leadership development

  • Integrates inner work (identity, values, emotional regulation) with outer work (communication, conflict, execution)

  • Provides a common language leaders can use across departments and levels

  • Easily connects to existing values, competencies, and performance systems

  • Works in 1:1 coaching, cohorts, and team-based workshops

 

You’re not just running “another training.” You’re introducing a foundational leadership system.
