EKCOSYSTEM EXCLUSIVE PROGRAMS
Leadership development programs
Let’s get serious, being an expert in your field doesn’t make anyone an expert leader—an expanded skill set, a courageous heart, and bold moves do.
But how can leaders access new, bold moves when many organizations live inside the mind?
Through our signature BADASS™ & 21st Century Leadership programs, senior leaders gain critical skills in Emotional Intelligence and leading others in this paradoxical time.

Twenty First Century leaders need to navigate a VUCA (Volatile, Uncertain, Complex and Ambigous) world. BADASS invites leaders to balance the left and right side of the brain.

OUR PROCESS
1: Get in touch
We’ll chat & design an experience for you or your organization to get you out of your head and into your other knowledge centers.
We introduce the concept of the 5 Knowledge Centers and explain their significance in personal and professional growth.
2: Experience “Accessment™”
Instead of “assessing" you, after our first session you’ll walk away with easy-to-implement tools to help you access new parts of yourself.
Our Accessment™ tool uses the five knowledge centers—head, heart, gut, groin, and hands—along with the BADASS leadership framework to provide profound insights into your leadership style. We invite clients to explore each center through various activities, exercises, and discussions during our sessions, guiding you to uncover untapped strengths and potential.
The Accessment™ takes approximately 90-120 minutes and is conducted by our Founder and Master Certified Coach (MCC), Eric Kohner. By leveraging these insights, executives can grow professionally, enhancing their ability to lead with boldness, authenticity, and agility. Transform your leadership journey and unlock new dimensions of personal and professional growth with Accessment™. This is the perfect tool for executives to reach their next level of development!
3: Team Work
We practice relationship building & partnership in addition to preaching it. As we customize our training for your organization, we do our best to sit in your seats so your workshop can be applied to your job immediately. In addition to tailoring the training to your organization, we also incorporate interactive exercises and real-life scenarios that simulate the challenges you face in your work environment. This hands-on approach allows you to practice and refine your relationship building and partnership skills in a safe and supportive setting.
And hey, we think the fact that we’ve worked with some of our clients for 20+ years says a lot about how we invest in you.
