SHiFT

Leadership training built for B Corps, Public Benefit Corporations and mission⁠-⁠aligned companies.

Some companies write purpose and stakeholders into their governance. Others choose to run that way on their own. Either way, the mission holds or slips in everyday leadership moments, like a tense board meeting or a hard call on costs. SHiFT trains your leaders to make those calls with awareness and integrity, even under pressure.

An incorruptible structure still depends on the people running it.

Eric Ries - Incorruptible argues that good intentions can’t protect a mission on their own. Companies need structures that resist the pressure to drift.

SHiFT applies the same idea to your leaders.

Even in a well-designed company, leaders still use power, weigh competing interests and make hard calls. Some of those calls get personal.

A company built to resist corruption needs leaders who can do the same.

Success makes you a target. The more golden the goose, the greater the temptation to butcher it.

Employees judge your mission by how their leaders act.

B Corps, PBCs and mission-aligned companies make commitments to more than shareholders. Employees are among the first to see whether those commitments are real.

They see it in daily leadership. How does a leader respond when someone raises a concern? Is it safe to disagree or admit a mistake?

Those moments add up.

How leaders show up shapes how people work together.

How people work together shapes the culture that carries the mission.

Train your most influential leaders.

The Flourishing Quarter trains one cohort of the leaders who most shape how your company runs. Each week includes a 90-minute live session, a coaching group of six and a two-minute daily practice.

Over 13 weeks, leaders learn to notice a reactive pattern as it starts and choose a better response in real moments at work. Strong leaders still get defensive or pulled off course. The training helps them catch it sooner.

Then they keep practicing for three more months.

Emotional maturity becomes part of how your leaders lead.

You already measure impact. SHiFT measures growth in the people carrying your mission.

Each leader and two colleagues rate nine capacities at baseline, Week 7, Week 13 and Month 6.

Individual results stay private. Your organization sees results for the whole cohort.

At Month 6, we review those results next to the outcomes you already track.

You see what changed and whether it held.

SHiFT is becoming a Public Benefit Corporation too.

SHiFT is converting to a Delaware Public Benefit Corporation with this stated public benefit:

Stated public benefit

To advance human flourishing by making the development of emotional maturity accessible, measurable, and sustainable for individuals and organizations.

We believe companies can be built to protect what matters. The people running them also need the capacity to keep choosing it.

For us, that starts with emotional maturity.

SHiFT does not provide legal or governance advice and is not affiliated with these organizations.

Start with one leadership cohort, then go deeper.

The first Flourishing Quarter gives your leaders a shared language and practice. Future cohorts can extend it to more layers of leadership.

Protecting a mission is ongoing work. So is developing the people who carry it.
