Workshops & Keynotes

Create alignment, clarity, and movement when the work is complex and the stakes are real.
Most leadership events create a moment. CLA designs experiences that create progress.

Our workshops and keynotes help leaders see what is really happening, engage the right people, and move forward on challenges where a better plan is not enough.

What Makes Our Workshops Different

CLA’s approach is grounded in decades of research and years of real-world practice. We do not deliver a talk and hope it sticks. We build shared language and usable tools leaders can apply immediately.

  • Built for real work.
    We tailor the experience to your context, constraints, and current priorities.
  • Simple language, serious ideas.
    We translate complex leadership dynamics into clear, usable concepts without jargon.
  • Practice, not just insight.
    Participants rehearse the moves that matter so the learning transfers back to the job.
  • Leadership is a practice, not a title.
    We focus on the actions that mobilize progress, even when authority is not enough.
  • Momentum through small experiments.
    Leaders leave with practical next steps they can test, learn from, and refine.

What Leaders Learn

  • See the real challenge clearly.
    Separate what can be solved with expertise from what requires people to change.
  • Name what matters in plain language.
    Surface the real tensions without blaming, spinning, or escalating.
  • Lead the stakeholder landscape.
    Understand who needs to be involved, who might resist, and how to build ownership.
  • Hold steady in the heat. 
    Regulate pressure so teams stay productive during uncertainty and change.
  • Use conflict to create progress.
    Keep disagreement useful and protect trust while decisions get made.
  • Mobilize shared responsibility.
    Stop carrying the whole thing. Get the right people doing the right work.
  • Move from talk to action.
    Leave with next steps, including small experiments that create momentum fast.
