Leadership Training & Workshops
We help your teams plan a road map for success and create disciplined mission plans. There is often a learning curve to effective teamwork. Overcoming this learning curve begins with equipping the members of your team to contribute in the planning process.

Your teams will be exposed to the concept of open planning to drive stronger collaboration and more disciplined plans.
Afterburner will facilitate a session to drive accountable action and help your teams choose the right objective to target, create buy-in, and align success.
During a collaborative Mission Planning exercise, your team will get first-hand experience with Jim and his team’s continuous improvement framework — which was born in the zero-tolerance-for-error world of military aviation and elite military teams like Navy SEALs. They push teams out of their comfort zones and into the unknown, rapidly changing environment of a fighter pilot. The team will experience:•Interactive training that actively engages the whole team

Aligned with the 2014 release of his 5th book Courage To Execute, Jim’s new keynote address not only shares how leaders can address these challenges and seize these opportunities, he details the simple, scalable process that elite military teams and Afterburner’s key clients leverage to survive, thrive and dominate where competitors fall short.
