Help your people lead with greater purpose, character, and confidence.

We offer practical leadership development shaped around your organization’s people, goals, and everyday challenges.

Your leaders influence how people experience work—and what they can accomplish together. Give them the support to meet that responsibility well.

Through workshops, coaching, and program evaluation, 3x5 Leadership helps you turn thoughtful leadership into everyday practice.

Good intentions need practical support.

A strong performer steps into management and discovers that leading people requires a different set of skills. A growing team needs clearer expectations and better ways to work together. An organization invests in leadership development but wants to understand what is actually changing.

These are moments where purposeful support can make a difference.

We help leaders connect what they learn to the conversations, decisions, and responsibilities already in front of them. Our work brings leadership theory and research into focus, making it usable so your people can build habits that support both their teams and the work they need to accomplish.

Find the support that fits your needs.

Workshops

Build skills your leaders can put to work.

Give your leaders space to examine how they lead, work through challenges, and practice a more thoughtful approach.

Our workshops connect relevant research with clear explanations, practical tools, and opportunities to apply what participants are learning. We shape the experience around your organization’s needs, whether you are helping new managers build a foundation or strengthening the practices of an established team.

Importantly, we seek to create engaging and cooperative experiences where your leaders co-create meaning and pathways forward—not just sit and receive lectures from our team.

Areas we can explore together include:

• Setting priorities and leading yourself with greater discipline.
• Communicating expectations, purpose, and direction.
• Giving useful feedback and developing others.
• Building trust while maintaining accountability.
• Strengthening team collaboration and culture, and navigating change toward lasting improvement.
• And any topics covered in our Leading Self, Leading Others curriculum.

The aim is clear: help participants leave knowing what to practice, where to begin, and the tools and inspiration needed to start now.

Coaching

Support leaders as they put learning into practice.

Knowing what to do is only part of leadership. Applying it in a difficult conversation, an unfamiliar role, or a demanding situation takes reflection and deliberate effort.

Our coaching helps leaders examine the challenges they face, consider their choices, and identify practical steps forward. We support them in recognizing patterns, seeking feedback, and building habits that reflect their values and responsibilities.

Whether someone is stepping into management, taking on greater responsibility, or working to become more effective in their current role, coaching creates space to think carefully and act with greater intention.

Program Evaluation

Understand what's working—and where to improve.

Leadership development takes time, attention, and resources. You need useful information about whether those investments are supporting the growth you intended.

We help you examine your development efforts, clarify what success should look like, and identify evidence that can inform your next decisions. Together, we explore how a program is being implemented, experienced, what participants are learning and applying, and where the approach could be strengthened.

Our purpose is to make evaluation useful: helping you decide what to continue, what to adjust, and where to focus next—all based in real social science research methods.

Why Choose 3x5 Leadership?

Learn with people who lead, study, and teach.

We bring practical leadership experience, academic preparation, and a deep commitment to developing others.

Experience with real responsibility.
Our team includes active-duty military leaders and veterans, averaging 15 years of military service per member. We have led in combat, developed small teams, and served in senior staff and operations roles supporting organizations of approximately 4,000 people. Those experiences inform our understanding of accountability, uncertainty, and the responsibility of caring for people while accomplishing demanding work.

Research made useful.
Our graduate education spans systems engineering, organizational psychology, and business administration, and our founder is currently pursuing a PhD in human development. We draw from research and social science methods to help leaders understand the challenges they face and choose practical ways to respond.

Teaching that supports practice.
Every member of our team has taught at the United States Military Academy at West Point or other collegiate levels. We bring that experience to making complex ideas understandable and helping people connect learning to their own responsibilities.

Attention to your context.
Your organization has its own purpose, pressures, and ways of working. We listen to understand them first, and then shape our support accordingly. Our experience informs the work; your needs guide it.

Above all, we believe leadership development should strengthen both effectiveness and character. How leaders achieve results matters to the people who depend on them.

So, let's start with the challenge in front of you.

You don’t need a fully developed training plan to begin.

Tell us about your people, what they are navigating, and what you would like to see improve. We’ll explore where support could help and discuss an approach that fits your goals.

Whether you need a focused workshop, coaching support, or a clearer understanding of an existing program, we welcome the conversation.

Thoughtful leadership. Everyday practice.
