Leadership 2.0:

Traditional leadership programs focus on “what” to do, – Leadership 2.0 focuses on “who” you are as a leader. We believe that true leadership starts from within, by cultivating a high-performance mindset that drives sustainable growth and impact. Our Leadership 2.0 coaching isn’t just about helping you thrive professionally—it’s about unlocking your highest potential as a change agent, so you can play your biggest impact game.

Conflict Management Certification Program

Conflict in the workplace is unavoidable, but when handled effectively, it can drive growth, innovation, and stronger teams. Many leaders struggle with avoiding tough conversations, misinterpreting feedback, or managing team tensions, which can lead to disengagement and reduced productivity. Our Conflict Management Certification equips managers with the skills to navigate conflict confidently, negotiate effectively, and provide constructive feedback while leading diverse teams. Through a combination of technical training and hands-on practice, participants develop emotional intelligence, empathy, and advanced strategies for handling difficult conversations. By embracing conflict as an opportunity for growth, leaders can foster a more collaborative, resilient, and high-performing workplace culture.

The DEI Locker Room Program

Many organizations introduce DEI training for managers but often struggle to make it truly impactful. Without deep integration, these efforts can feel superficial and fail to drive meaningful change. Unlike traditional DEI programs, the DEI Locker Room goes deeper, addressing the root of unconscious biases through mindset coaching. This program equips leaders with the skills to create safe spaces where critical conversations happen organically within their team’s “locker room,” fostering real, lasting change. By starting with self-awareness, leaders learn to recognize their own strengths and appreciate the unique contributions of others—creating a culture where diverse perspectives thrive, leading to better decision-making and business success.

Braking Burnout Program

Burnout and turnover are rising, leaving teams overwhelmed and disengaged. Without effective burnout management, productivity declines, morale drops, and top talent leaves.
The Braking Burnout Program helps organizations build a high-performance culture by uncovering the root causes of burnout. We deconstruct broken belief systems and maladaptive performance strategies, then re-architect empowering beliefs and adaptive strategies that drive sustainable peak performance. By equipping leaders and teams with the tools to recharge, adapt, and stay resilient, we help businesses boost retention, spark innovation, and keep teams performing at their best—even in times of disruption.

Our shop floor was struggling with cultural challenges—complaints about leadership, requests for raises, and even threats to quit due to dissatisfaction with management. We decided to enroll our shop leadership team in Elite High Performance's leadership program and 1-on-1 coaching. The turnaround was almost immediate. Within 6-8 weeks, the entire atmosphere shifted. Employees became happier, more engaged, and incredibly productive. In fact, our shop has hit its weekly goals every week for the past two months. The feedback from our team has been overwhelmingly positive—they love their jobs and feel happier than ever working here. As the CEO, I wasn't directly involved in the program, so I can't speak to the specifics of what was taught. However, it's clear that our leaders worked hard to implement meaningful changes, and the results speak for themselves. Elite High Performance provided the tools and framework that allowed our leadership to better connect with their teams in ways that truly mattered. We already had great leaders who cared deeply about their people—it just wasn't being communicated in the way the employees needed to hear it. Thanks to Elite High Performance, that gap has been bridged, and our company culture has transformed.
Chase Dalton, CEO, Silicon Signs
Just want to say a big thanks to Elite for all the support you're providing to the Nokia team!! So proud of what you have been able to achieve and the on-going support you continue to provide the team. This is another differentiator Elite has over other suppliers in your space! I am so proud and grateful of the impact you and the team have had on our team!

Talk about a life-changer! In-addition to her phenomenal sport training, leadership and educational background, Susan brings amazing energy, passion and resources to help you achieve whatever it is you desire, and deserve.
Maria G., Entrepreneur
With Elite, you're not a number like some of the other leadership courses I attended. I really liked the large focus on self-awareness (before starting to apply concepts to the team), the small teams and networking. The course really did succeed in opening up my mind about leadership practices in a way that I have not experienced in any other leadership course.
Tommi, Fortune 500 Manager
From the locker room to the Mainstage, Rob is able to read the room and open up space for courageous conversations. He leads by example as he shares his journey of overcoming obstacles in business and life. He speaks from the heart and has a way of making every human in the room know they are worthy and that he truly cares about their growth as the leader of their own life.
Charli Matthews, Founder & CEO, Empowering Brands
The Leadership Launchpad program changed my life! And Rob Kalwarowsky… My favorite coach! The program gave me the tools and space I needed to become a much better leader, and spending time with like-minded individuals looking to improve their skills was priceless. It allowed me to understand and improve my leadership style as well as that of my coworkers.
