The Problem

Your leadership team has
alignment gaps they don't know exist.

Most executive teams think they're aligned. They've sat through the same all-hands, read the same strategy deck, attended the same offsites. But when it's time to make decisions about priorities, resources, and direction, the cracks show up.

Miscommunication disguised as disagreement. Misaligned assumptions presented as strategy. Unspoken conflict that never makes it to the agenda.

The cost isn't obvious. It shows up as slow decisions, duplicated effort, teams receiving conflicting signals from different leaders, and talented people quietly deciding to stop trying.

"Most leadership training teaches concepts. This experience reveals character, including the gaps your team didn't know they had."

The Executive Leadership Experience is built on a proven system developed by John C. Maxwell's leadership team. It creates a psychologically safe environment, structured like a game and felt like a conversation, where your leaders can surface those gaps, build genuine trust, and leave with shared language and commitments that actually stick.

The Experience

How the session works

01

Pre-Session Sponsor Briefing

Before the session, Zac sits down with you, the person who hired him, to understand the team dynamics, the current challenges, and the outcomes you want to walk away with. This shapes how the session is facilitated. For first-time engagements, short one-on-one conversations with each executive can be added for deeper context.

02

The Experience (90 to 120 Minutes)

Your executive team plays through a structured series of scenarios, discussions, and challenges drawn from the Maxwell Leadership framework. The experience surfaces real dynamics: how your leaders make decisions, handle conflict, and support each other. All of it in a setting that feels safe enough to be honest.

03

Facilitated Debrief

The most important part. Zac surfaces the patterns, the strengths, and the gaps that came up during the session. The debrief format is arranged with you, depending on what the team needs. The output is the same either way: specific, named next steps.

04

Takeaways Report

You receive a written summary of key themes, observations, and recommended actions, something you can bring back to your leadership meetings and actually use. Produced from the session itself.

05

60-Day Follow-Up Call

Two months after the session, Zac reconnects with your team sponsor to assess what stuck, what didn't, and what support you need to maintain momentum.

Who This Is For

Built for executive teams
that need more than a workshop

This is not entry-level leadership content. The Executive Leadership Experience is designed for organizations where leadership capability is a competitive advantage and where the cost of misalignment is measured in millions.

C-Suite & Executive Committees
CEOs, COOs, CFOs, and their direct reports who need to operate as a genuinely unified team, not just a collection of functional leaders.
VP & Director Cohorts
Senior leaders who set the culture for hundreds of people below them, whose alignment shapes organizational performance.
Leadership Offsites & Retreats
Organizations that want their annual or quarterly leadership gathering to produce something more than nice slides and good intentions.
Newly Formed Teams
Post-merger, post-reorg, or newly appointed leadership teams that need to build trust and alignment faster than the business will wait.
What You Leave With

not just concepts
