Enroll NowToday’s organizations need leaders who can operate with altitude — leaders who can think, communicate, and influence like true executives.
This program blends 5 high-impact cohort working sessions (meet every other week) plus four months of personalized one-on-one coaching and additional guest-expert sessions, giving you the structure, support, and strategic guidance to elevate your leadership to the next level.
You’ll build the five essential skillsets that distinguish successful executives from capable managers — and learn to apply them immediately to your biggest real-world challenges.

Working with Art has been a transformative experience for my development and growth as a senior manager. The practical insights I gained from Art’s training program and coaching far surpass those from my formal executive MBA.

The dynamic discussion format is particularly refreshing. I highly recommend this program to any experienced manager looking to make a greater impact in their organization.
What You’ll Master
1
Projecting Executive Presence
Show up with confidence, credibility, and steadiness — even under pressure. You’ll learn how to command the room, shape perception, and deliver messages with authority while staying true to your authentic leadership style.
2
Developing and Projecting Influence
Executives don’t rely on positional power; they shape momentum. You’ll learn how to build coalitions, navigate organizational dynamics, and shift conversations in your direction — while advancing outcomes that matter.
3
Communicating With Clarity in High-Stakes Situations
From boardroom discussions to crisis conversations, you’ll develop the ability to communicate with focus, precision, and calm. You’ll learn to simplify complexity, frame recommendations strategically, and elevate your voice in moments that matter.
4
Thinking Creatively and Strategically
Executives solve problems others can’t see. You’ll learn to zoom out, challenge assumptions, and frame issues at the right altitude — while developing strategic, inventive solutions that accelerate progress and unlock new possibilities.
5
Leading Up, Down, and Across the Organization
Executive-level leadership requires balanced influence in every direction. You’ll strengthen your ability to lead senior stakeholders, activate your team, and partner across functions to drive alignment and results.
How the Program Works
Cohort Learning
Collaborate with a select group of rising leaders through structured working sessions designed to stretch your thinking, sharpen your skills, and provide a trusted circle for practice and feedback.
One-on-One Coaching
Partner directly with Art Petty to apply these executive skillsets to your real challenges. Each session is tailored to maximize your growth, accelerate behavior shifts, and build practical momentum.
Outside Experts
Art recruits leading experts to join special sessions with the cohort focused on core program content. You gain quality time with some of the leading authorities in the world in their topics as well as experienced executives sharing their lessons and insights.

Real-World Application
Every module connects directly to decisions, conversations, and moments you face now. You’ll leave each session with tools and actions you can apply the same day.
