Gearing Up

Why Gearing Up Matters

Most new leaders are promoted for performance — not prepared for leadership.

Gearing Up exists to close that gap.

This experience gives emerging leaders the foundational mindset, language, and tools they were never formally taught — helping them transition from individual contributor to leader with confidence and clarity.

It establishes the leadership habits, values, and awareness that shape long-term success.
