More than just the mechanics of good leadership, we bring out the humanity that facilitates breakthrough connections and inspires great organizations.
New ideas for
tomorrow’s leaders
After 30+ years in leadership development and executive search, we saw how lonely it was at the top — and it’s even more true today. We founded ProjectNext Leadership to empower senior leaders who take on some of the most important roles within their organizations, often with little to no support.
Organizational success requires leaders to work up, down and across with clarity, curiosity and confidence. Sustainability is critical, too — in succession planning, we stress the importance of preparing for planned and unplanned departures. And through our executive accelerator programs and coaching, we enable new leaders to grow their mindsets, capabilities and relationships to succeed in big roles.
ProjectNext Leadership was built on the idea that community and a sense of belonging matter. It’s the belief of every amazing, smart, and experienced person who works with us. And inclusive leadership permeates everything we do, whether we’re working with clients, associates or employees.
How we deliver
Leadership isn’t a straight line, it’s dynamic. So, you need tailored solutions that help you move forward — not a one-size-fits-all approach. At ProjectNext Leadership, our focus is on meeting your senior leaders where they are, and allowing them to strengthen their leadership and extend their influence across your organization.
What we believe
At ProjectNext Leadership, there’s no action without intention. Everything we do is guided by our values:
Compassionate truth
We are refreshingly honest with ourselves and others, working with respect and courage, always listening with intent and leading with empathy.
Enduring curiosity
We are present and genuinely interested, embracing different perspectives and reaching for greater knowledge.
Active humility
We work earnestly and with low ego, acknowledging the greatness in our colleagues, partners, and clients.
Intentional excellence
We are goal driven and deliberate, delivering the highest level of performance with purpose and care.
Fearless exploration
We cultivate an environment where you are celebrated in success and noble in failure, and where our real, distinct selves are honored.

I got a chance to talk with my team members who were fortunate to participate in the ProjectNext Leadership program. Each one of them shared this was hands down the best leadership training they have ever participated in. I feel successfully navigating at the enterprise level is a key skill our senior leaders have to possess.
Leadership Agility
Think horizontally, vertically and dynamically.
For leaders in high impact roles, leading across is now just as important as leading vertically. Silos stifle the execution of innovative ideas, hamper effective decision making and lead to costly double work across the organization. By breaking them down, you can motivate teams and nurture collaboration, strengthen mental agility and enhance communication throughout your organization.

– Group VP, Technology Company
I’ve been to a lot of LT meetings in my 13 1/2 years here, but your ability to come in, understand our business and what we’re looking to get done was truly different. You came in and quickly worked with us as part of the team, not just as outside consultants, and that made a huge difference.
Amplified Impact
Make a positive impact that ripples.
Here’s the truth: most leaders feel ill-equipped for the challenges of high-impact roles. By developing your team’s decision-making skills, and showing them how to communicate in a way that engages and inspires, we enable them to manage the complexity of stakeholders in a matrixed environment, achieving quick wins and securing long-term success.
