The 5 Voices Leader Academy is a structured, cohort-based development program built on the 5 Voices framework and 100X Leader methodology. It equips leaders at every level to communicate clearly, align their teams, and lead with influence.
Built on the Sherpa mindset: the healthiest leaders help others climb. As your leaders go, so go your teams.
What it is
The secret to organizational health and performance is the leaders who shape culture at every level. When they grow, teams grow. The Leader Academy is an immersive, cohort-based program that systematically teaches the principles of the 5 Voices, deepens leadership self-awareness, and helps leaders build stronger, more aligned teams.
It solves the everyday challenge of leading people well. Using the 5 Voices as a shared communication and leadership tool, leaders learn to understand their own tendencies, value the contribution of others, and create high-support, high-challenge environments where people thrive.
It can run on its own, or as one part of a broader Consulting Engagement.
Who it's for
Corporate teams, nonprofits, healthcare organizations and professional associations use the Academy to establish a shared internal language for leadership.

The journey
Each month, the cohort works through a session together, paired with personal application exercises - roughly 2.5-3.5 hours of engagement a month. Session by session, leaders build self-awareness, communication clarity and the ability to develop others.

A core Leader Academy tool
Great leadership follows a path. It starts with insight about yourself and grows all the way to the performance of your whole team. Scroll to trace the journey.
Beyond the six sessions
We believe leadership is an ongoing process, so the Academy is built for lasting impact - not a one-time event. Leaders keep applying the 5 Voices framework in the real world with continued support.
And because the tools plug into a regular organizational rhythm - assessments, coaching, team trainings and an annual culture review - progress compounds over time.

Studied in peer-reviewed research
The Leader Academy model - built on GiANT's 5 Voices toolkit - has been the subject of published, peer-reviewed study. Researchers followed cohorts of professionals and students through the program and, notably, found that this kind of cohort-based leadership training can foster genuine self-awareness - the foundation everything else in the Academy is built on.
