Helping City Managers escape burnout, set boundaries, and experience breakthroughs in work-life balance
Every week, you’ll get insights and actionable steps to help you navigate personal growth and professional success.
As a city manager, the weight of your community's present and future rests on your shoulders. Every day, you navigate an ocean of bureaucracy, balance the competing agendas of elected officials, and unite competing department heads toward a common vision—all under the public's scrutinizing gaze. It's not just a career; it's a calling that can consume your life, often leaving you questioning if you can sustain the relentless pace.

We're committed to being an empowering force, helping you deliver exceptional leadership and foster innovative and collaborative thinking that propels your city toward a brighter tomorrow.
By mastering these elements, you and your leadership team will be equipped to navigate the complexities of municipal governance, inspire your workforce, and drive your city toward a compelling vision. Let's transform challenges into opportunities and create a thriving community that serves as a model for others.
