Build an armada for the high seas of business with courageous leadership development.

Picture an entire fleet of ships traversing the tumultuous seas of today’s business world. As advancements in technology rapidly change how we interact with one another and approach work altogether, success will require a band of leaders at many helms—leaders who feel empowered to make decisions, understand what it means to live your company values, and are willing to lead by example. You aren’t captaining a single ship and a single crew any longer. You are lording over an armada with layers of leadership and management, each with their own dedicated crew.

All of your people who are fighting for your company’s purpose and mission are relying on your leaders to adapt to new challenges, maximize team efforts, and make the tough decisions with confidence and clear communication; leaders who can not only weather the storm, but harness its power in service to propelling the organization forward.

At RTC, our leadership training and programs go beyond traditional skill-building. We equip your leaders with the courage, authenticity, and emotional intelligence they need to navigate complexity, inspire their teams to exceed their own expectations, and drive innovative and impactful results for your business.

Why invest in leadership training and development?

By investing in leadership development, you not only empower your individual leaders to step into more of their full potential, you create more resilient infrastructure for continuing to expand your fleet.

When you train and develop your leaders, your company experiences benefits like these:


  • 1

    Enhanced leadership effectiveness.

    Leadership training and programs help your current and future leaders build the self-awareness, emotional intelligence, and strategic thinking skills they need to lead with confidence and impact. A study by the Center for Creative Leadership found that 86 percent of organizations with strong leadership development programs can respond rapidly to unpredictable business environments, compared to 52 percent of companies with less mature programs.1

  • 2

    Improved employee engagement.

    As a result of leadership development, DDI, a global leadership consulting firm, reports that 88 percent of leaders feel more engaged themselves, and 85 percent of leaders participating in leadership development reported increased team member engagement after their training.2

  • 3

    Stronger succession planning.

    Investing in leadership development ensures that you have a pipeline of capable, ready-to-lead high-performers who can step into key roles as your organization grows. A study by Deloitte found that companies with strong leadership are 2.3 times more likely to financially outperform their peers.3

  • 4

    Cultivating a culture of growth.

    When you prioritize the growth of your leadership, you send a powerful message that learning is valuable. This helps create a culture of continuous improvement, innovation, and agility that is essential for long-term success. According to Bersin by Deloitte, organizations with a strong learning culture are 46 percent more likely to be first to market, enjoy 37 percent greater employee productivity and are 58 percent more prepared to meet future demand.4

“This helps us separate ourselves from other companies. In order to be the best place to work, you have to invest in your associates like this.”

Senior Director, Inside Sales, PCI

Discover transformative learning for lasting impact.

If you want your people to embrace change, to trust one another, to hold themselves and one another accountable, and to show up with vulnerability and courage, then your leaders must be willing to embark on that journey first. That’s why our leadership training courses and programs are designed to challenge your leaders to step out of their comfort zones and into more of their potential. We believe that lasting change happens when your leaders are invited to bring their whole selves—their experiences, challenges, and aspirations—to the learning journey, so they can bring their whole selves to the work they do for you and your company.

By creating a psychologically safe space for your leaders to explore their own authenticity, confront their fears and desires, and develop the courage to lead with vulnerability and grace, we support your leaders in not just intellectually understanding the concepts of leadership development but also emotionally connecting with their purpose and practically applying their learning to real-world challenges.

As your leaders navigate this transformative journey, they will encounter moments of discomfort, just as a ship’s crew faces the challenges of the high seas. It is in these moments of discomfort that true growth and change occur. By leaning into the discomfort on their own terms, your leaders will emerge stronger, more resilient, and better equipped to guide your organization through the storms of change.
