FROM PAID FORGETTING, TO APPLIED LEARNING
A one-of-a-kind leadership experience
The ChangeMakers program isn’t a once-and-done event. It’s delivered over a 12-week period where you’ll learn, experience, apply, and debrief AiMS practices in the context of a real-world change you are driving with your team.
ChangeMakers will not only transform how you think and act as a leader, it will transform those you lead! Step into the future of leadership, today.
We believe that traditional approaches to leadership (who and how we lead) may be doing more harm than good. They are incremental at best, in a time where exponential is the norm. We need simple and immediately practical ways of leading into this emerging future.
Take the leap!
We Believe

What we focus on grows
AiMS Leaders understand that we have the freedom to choose our focus. What we pay attention to, inquire into, and explore we will find more of. Instead of focusing on what we don’t want, why not focus on what we do!

Our Questions are fateful
The moment we ask a new question, our future changes before the answer arrives. The true genius of Leaders today comes not from providing all the answers but from asking the right questions.

The Wisdom is in the group
AiMS Leaders know that a group is always smarter than anyone individual, especially in today's fast-paced world. Great leaders tap into the wisdom, passion, and energy from their teams in ways that create inspired action, every time.

Belonging begins with safety
AiMS leaders are able to invite more voices into their management conversations, beacause they understand the science of safety. When people feel seen, heard, valued, and understood they bring their best selves to work in every situation.
