Add-On Courses

This 4.5-hour interactive workshop is designed for club owners, directors, senior staff and emerging leaders ready to elevate their impact. Led by experienced leaders Jen Evans, President of Kids First Gymnastics Center; Bryon Hough, Chief Executive Officer of Children’s Activity Management Incorporated, and Executive Coach Jason Vonk of Inspired Leadership, this session blends guided discussion, shared insights, and practical application. Together, you’ll explore how leadership shows up in real-world environments, beyond day-to-day operations and into the decisions, communication, and pressures that truly shape an organization. Participants will leave with actionable tools they can put to work immediately, a broader perspective on how peers are navigating similar challenges, and meaningful connections built through shared experience.

The workshop is structured into 3 parts:

• Part 1: Leadership in Today’s Environment-Explores leadership under pressure and the complexity of decision-making in today’s environment, setting the foundation for the session.
• Part 2: Collaborative Problem-Solving – The core of the workshop, this interactive, movement-based session engages participants in identifying shared challenges, recognizing patterns across organizations, distinguishing between immediate and long-term decisions, and exploring the impact of communication and generational dynamics.
• Part 3: Breakouts by Experience Level-Participants will engage in targeted breakout sessions for emerging and seasoned leaders, allowing for more focused discussion on topics such as communication, decision-making, managing hesitation, decision fatigue, and leading across generations.
