A note from Jonathan

For over thirty years I have studied how leaders grow, and designed and delivered programs that help them grow in their working lives.

Adeptify is where that work becomes something people can use, not only executives, but everyone who leads.

adeptify: the process of becoming adept

The Weather You Create

You lead. Perhaps a team or an organization, perhaps a project, a family, or only yourself: everyone leads at some point. And wherever you lead, you create the weather around you.

Your energy and actions can give others quiet, clear skies they can work in, or noisy storms they need to navigate. It depends on your inner condition.

Showing up means owning the weather you create: taking responsibility for it, and being present to deal with it.

Most of us know that we need to clean up and grow up.

Knowing how is the hard part.

The Leader Development Center

Piloting now

The Center is a place where a leader's development is supported over time, with a mentor, rather than left to a weekend workshop or good intentions.

Working upstream. The key lever for development is a leader's inner condition, the source of the weather they create. How they think and feel has a structure, context, and a process as well as content. Working here is where development has the most impact.

1. Intake 2. Assessment 3. Exploration 4. Skill development and around again

1. Intake. Your role's demands outlined, then a spoken interview with an AI interviewer.

2. Assessment. The interview is analyzed for the quality and complexity of thinking and several skill domains, then shaped into a layered report.

3. Exploration. Debriefing with a development mentor. You choose skills to work on.

4. Skill development. Learning loops, drawing on our skill library, deployed in your own work.

Other offerings

Adeptify has an ever expanding suite of offerings; several programs built using learning loops, a skill library portal and candidate suitability support.

We are piloting this work with first clients and partners now.

Where this comes from

Adeptify grows out of years of academic research integrated into consulting practice about how leaders develop. It draws on networks of colleagues who have also worked deeply on these questions, as well as what many mentors have passed on along the way.
