A 6-Month Residency for Leaders and Executive Teams
The Strategic Intelligence Executive Residency
Two ladders. One leader. A broader view.
Most leaders think leadership is one ladder. There are two.
Picture two ladders. One is the ladder you use inside the house. The other is the extension ladder that gets you to the roof.
Most leaders climbed the first ladder. Operational excellence earned them their seat. But from inside the house, you can’t see what’s coming. You react to what happens outside, and by then it may be too late.
The organization needs its leaders on the roof. That is where you see what’s ahead, set the vision, and help your people see it too.
The residency helps you make that shift. You keep the skills that got you here. You learn to apply them differently.
Which ladder are you really on?
Most leaders say they are on the extension ladder. The real question is whether their calendar, their decisions, and their conversations agree.
After one of Pam’s keynotes, an executive director came up and said, “I’m not even close to being on that ladder.” That moment of honesty is where the work begins.
Find out where you stand today. The Two-Ladder Assessment takes about 20 minutes, and you’ll see your result right away.
How you lead differently on the other side
Leaders who complete the residency show up with greater focus and steadier judgment.
Clear
You are focused and aware. You can name the real issue and communicate it with clarity.
Connected
You see the people, relationships, and systems that shape every decision.
Strategic
You can describe where the organization is going and why, in words your people understand.
Executive
You lead with greater judgment when the path is unclear and the stakes are high.
Two ways to join
For individual leaders
Join a cohort of leaders from different organizations. You get a place to be candid about what you don’t know, talk through real frustrations, and learn from peers who face the same pressures.
The next cohort begins in September 2027 and is limited to 10 leaders.
For executive teams
Bring your executive team through together. The work starts with discovery: 1:1 conversations with each executive and agreement on how the team will work together. Each executive receives 1:1 coaching throughout the six months.
Team residencies can begin at any time.
What the six months include
- A clear starting point. Assessments show which ladder you lead from today, including the Two-Ladder Assessment and the Strategic Intelligence Diagnostic.
- Monthly facilitated sessions built around real leadership challenges, not case studies from someone else’s organization.
- 1:1 coaching from Pam and her executive coaching team. Pam leads your intake and checks in with you along the way. Between sessions, you work 1:1 with a coach from her team, so the work shows up in how you lead each week.
- A safe space to admit what you don’t know and practice new ways of leading.
- A measure of progress. You retake the assessments at the end and see how far you’ve moved.
Your six months at a glance
Monthly virtual sessions of 2 to 3 hours, with 1:1 coaching in between. Each month, you work on a real challenge from your own organization.
Month 1
See where you stand
Find out which ladder you lead from today, and choose the challenge you’ll work on all six months.
Month 2
Name the real issue
Stop solving the wrong problem. Question assumptions and reframe your challenge with clear thinking.
Month 3
See the whole system
Spot weak signals early and map the people and forces that shape your decisions.
Month 4
Look ahead
Move from hindsight to foresight. Build the strategic questions that help you see and share the vision.
Month 5
Decide with judgment
Make sound calls when the path is unclear, lead with integrity, and commit to one behavior shift.
Month 6
Lead from the roof
Present your work to the cohort, see your before-and-after results, and close with an optional dinner in the DC area.
Participants may submit residency hours toward CAE, SHRM, HRCI, and other recertification requirements, according to each credentialing body’s rules. A certificate of completion is provided.
