Where passion meets purpose, your personal development thrives.
Our Leadership Accelerator program is designed to support personal growth and foster collaboration, enabling individuals to contribute effectively to their teams, organizations, and communities. Through collective efforts, participants will enhance their skills and achieve greater impact together.
Individual growth that drives better collective work.
Serving the intersection of professional growth and organizational need.
At CiviCO, we are dedicated to developing exceptional individual contributors who are prepared to be amazing problem solvers and team members right now! Leadership isn’t about a role or title, it’s about seeing a challenge and having the skills and tools to engage it head-on. Our Leadership Accelerator program is designed to bridge the gap between personal growth and organizational success, creating a win-win for both employees and employers.
At CiviCO, we advocate that leadership is not reserved solely for "rising stars" or "high potentials," but rather an essential skill for everyone in any organization. Leadership is fundamentally about taking initiative, engaging others, and driving progress, qualities that benefit teams and communities at every level.
By democratizing leadership training and promoting its accessibility to all individuals, regardless of their current role or career stage, we empower more people to contribute effectively to their teams and organizations. At CiviCO, we believe that fostering a culture where leadership is cultivated and exercised by everyone enhances collaboration, innovation, and overall organizational success. Leadership is not just a title or position but an active practice that enriches individuals and strengthens the fabric of our communities.

The Leadership Development Gap
Traditional Leadership Development Falls Short
Most organizations equate leadership development with management training.
Starting leadership training at the management level is too late.
Over 40% of individual contributors promoted to management fail within the first year due to lack of skills and preparation, costing companies money and damaging individual reputations.
Misaligned Leadership Training
Conventional leadership development often focuses solely on individual aspirations, neglecting organizational needs.
Programs emphasizing networking, negotiating raises, and personal branding don't address the critical intersection of employee growth and organizational goals.
Generic Leadership Development Ignores Local Needs
Many leadership programs use one-size-fits-all approaches, missing the specific needs of local organizations.
Our training connects your employees with a network of Colorado-based professionals and focuses on real challenges your organization faces.
