Intentional Leader, from The Momentum Company

In 90 days, your team starts operating more independently, intuitively, and intentionally.

Your people start making the calls you've been making for them, your best people stay because someone finally had the real conversation with them, and your whole leadership team starts pulling in the same direction... instead of refereeing every decision, wondering who's going to walk out next, and staying busy without ever building anything that lasts.

Next class starts January 7, 2027. Enrollment closes December 11. $5,000 per company, up to 8 leaders, fully virtual. Built on 250+ episodes of The Intentional Leader Podcast.

Where this comes from

The place to learn what it takes to lead with greater intention.

For the better part of twenty years I've been chasing one question... what makes a leader intentional, and what happens to the people around them when they are? I've asked it in more than 250 interviews on The Intentional Leader Podcast, in 400+ live events, and in a lot of quiet one-on-ones with leaders at every level, and I've watched closely for what actually works and what doesn't. Intentional Leader is all of that, turned into 90 days you can put to work.

Here's how I define it. Intentional leadership is being deliberate, meaning what you say and do... decisive, not hesitating when it counts... and divine, leading in the way only you can. Before the 90 days are over, every leader writes their own definition, and starts living it.

Most recently we recorded our CEO season, a run of conversations with presidents and CEOs steering their organizations through big growth, and honestly it's been fascinating. From completely different directions, they kept circling back to the same truth:

The team that got you here isn't the team that gets you there.

That's the gap this program closes, with your whole leadership team in the room together. You don't need to have it all figured out to join. If you show up and do the work, you're going to make progress... we watched it happen all through our first class.

Why this exists

Over and over, the same three problems came up.

Different companies, different sizes, different titles... and the same three things keeping good leaders up at night. These are the three months of the program.

"My best people are walking out and I don't have a bench."

The people who built your organization are retiring. Nobody's ready. You're succession praying, not succession planning.

"I'm managing everything and leading nothing."

Stuck in the referee phase. Micromanaging, decision-hoarding, fire-fighting. The harder you work, the less your people grow.

"We're busy, but we're not building anything that lasts."

Drowning in operational noise. No clear culture, no defined language, no strategic clarity. Revenue sits untapped because nobody is being intentional about growth.

From the first class

What actually changed, in their words.

We don't measure this program by how people felt on the last day. We measure it by what they did on a Tuesday when nobody was watching. Here's some of what our first class did.

Six weeks from frustrated teammate to team lead.

When one coworker started coasting, the rest of the team grumbled about it behind his back. He chose to lead instead, and went straight to the person doing the complaining to work it out face to face. A few weeks later he asked his manager what it would take to lead the group, and about six weeks into the program he was leading it. His very first meeting set each person up with the work that fits what they do best.

Logistics team member, global food company
Five hours a week back, for good.

She handed off the research, paperwork and customer follow-up that had always been hers, and it never came back. Now those five hours a week go to the higher-priority projects she never had time for. Letting go was the hardest part... "It felt like I was abandoning one of the responsibilities of my job. But yeah, it's been good now."

Team member, global food company
A new hire running solo in about ten weeks.

Instead of training his new hire by doing everything himself, he set clear 90-day goals and handed the day-to-day training to another coordinator who was ready for it. Week by week the new hire owned more of the job, and about ten weeks in he was running things on his own while his boss was on the road... two people growing at once.

Operations lead, global food company
One question that changed a one-on-one.

Like most check-ins, it started as projects and updates. At the end she asked him how he was really doing as a person, and he trusted her enough to give an honest answer. Now she's helping him take care of himself, not just his workload, and that's the kind of leader people stay for.

Manager, global food company
The conversation he dreaded turned into a partnership.

A senior coworker was carrying too much work and too much knowledge that lived only in her head, and he put off talking to her three times. When he finally sat down with her, it went well, and her goals turned out to line up with a project of his own. Once he'd done it, the next one came easier: he sat down with someone who kept missing deadlines and followed through with a real review.

Logistics coordinator, global food company
A team that solves its own problems.

Every question used to land on her desk. Instead of answering one more, she coached her team to design their own process for getting to the answer, and within a week they'd agreed on it together. That was her win of the week, and it's the kind that keeps paying off.

Supply chain lead, global food company
Decisions moved off the president's desk.

Too many decisions were landing on him that didn't need to. So he listed every one that could be made a level down and asked himself an honest question about each: what am I actually afraid would happen? Term sheets and proposals now go to three people on his team, giving them real ownership and giving him room to lead.

President, procurement company
Raising the bar without taking over.

One of his managers wanted to go easy on a struggling employee. He held the standard and insisted on a formal plan, then coached the manager through it while leaving the plan in the manager's hands. He did the same with a team he'd just taken over: instead of doing their thinking for them, he asked for real dates, and they came back with a plan for work that had slipped in years past.

One group, one big win

33hours a week

Partway through the program, I asked one group of leaders to add up the work they had handed off, cut, or found a better way to do. Together they had won back 33 hours a week. That's almost a full-time hire's worth of time, back in the hands of the people who should be leading, without hiring anyone.

33 of 40 hours in a work week, found by one class of leaders.

5 hours a week

One leader handed off one recurring task. It never came back, and she got about an hour a day back to put toward bigger work.

40+ leaders

From six companies went through our first class, from frontline supervisors to senior leaders.

250+ episodes

Of The Intentional Leader Podcast are where this program comes from. Every month is built from what those leaders told us actually worked.

How it works

This isn't a course you log into and watch.

Most leadership training is one big day, a binder, and a lot of good intentions that are gone by Wednesday. This works the other way around... a little bit every week for 90 days, built into the work you're already doing, so it has a chance to become who you are.

Before day one, a baseline

Every leader has a short, structured coaching conversation about where they are and what they're up against. You get a snapshot of your team before we start, so we can show you what changed at the end.

Every Monday, one intention

One question: what's the one thing you'll do deliberately this week, not by drift? Answer it by text or voice note.

Every week, one episode

An episode of The Intentional Leader Podcast picked for that month's theme, short enough for the drive in. About 90% of the content is audio, so it fits a real schedule.

Every Friday, five minutes

Your win, what's stuck, how you were intentional, and your top priority for next week. Typed or spoken. It becomes the record of what's actually changing.

Once a month, live with me

A three-hour virtual session, camera on, with small breakout groups working on real problems and a workbook you'll actually use.

24/7 coaching for all 90 days

Prepping for a hard conversation at 10 pm, or trying to figure out what to hand off? Every leader has a coach on call around the clock, built on everything we teach.

1

The bench

"My best people are walking out and I don't have a bench."

By the end of month one, every leader has had one real conversation with the person they can't afford to lose.

2

The bottleneck

"I'm managing everything and leading nothing."

Every leader hands over something that used to run through them... and it doesn't come back.

3

What lasts

"We're busy, but we're not building anything that lasts."

Every leader writes their own definition of intentional leadership, names what they're building, and starts one thing that outlives them.

Day 90: every company gets the Intentional Leader Report, measured against the baseline from day one.

What changes in 90 days

Less tension. More trust.

Today

After 90 days

Every decision runs through one or two people, and their phones don't stop after hours.

Decisions get made at the right level, by people who know they're trusted to make them.

Your best people might be one bad month away from leaving, and nobody's sure who's next.

Your leaders have had the real conversation with the people they can't lose, and you can name who's coming up.

Everyone's busy, and five managers would give you five different answers about what you're building.

Your whole team can name it in the same words, and they hold each other to it.

A note from Mark

Built for the whole team, not just the one at the top.

I've spent twenty years in rooms with leaders. More than 400 live events, and 250+ conversations on The Intentional Leader Podcast with everyone from first-time supervisors to company presidents and CEOs. If all of that has taught me one thing, it's that leadership rarely changes in one person alone... it changes when a team starts speaking the same language and holding each other to it.

That's why Intentional Leader is built for teams. In our first class, companies sent their owners and executives right alongside their managers, supervisors and people in their very first leadership role. One group added up the time they'd won back by handing work off or cutting it and found 33 hours a week. A manager asked a teammate how he was really doing and got an honest answer. A frontline team member went from frustrated coworker to team lead. That stuff doesn't come out of a binder, and it doesn't happen when only the boss goes to the training.

Every leader gets their own coaching, their own weekly rhythm and their own growth playbook. Together, your team gets a shared language for the hard stuff, real conversations in the live sessions, and a Day 90 report that shows where your people grew and where they need to go next.

So send the people who are leading today and the ones who'll be leading tomorrow... your managers, your supervisors, your rising stars, the person you're hoping takes your seat someday. Up to eight of them, together. That's where it really starts to multiply.

  • Owners and executives
  • Managers and supervisors
  • Team leads
  • Rising leaders
  • Successors
  • Lean teams

Fair questions

What people ask before they sign up.

How much time does it take each week?

Most weeks, well under an hour. The episode fits on a drive, the Friday check-in takes about five minutes, and Monday's intention is one question. The only fixed block is the live session, three hours once a month.

Who should we send?

Anyone who leads people or is growing into it. The first class had owners and executives right alongside first-time supervisors, and the mix is part of what makes it work. You can send up to eight people for one price.

We're a small team. Will this still work?

Yes. Some of the best conversations in our first class came from lean teams where there was nobody to hand work off to. We built a whole segment around that, because the answer for a lean team looks different, and it's still an answer.

What is the 24/7 coaching, exactly?

It's an AI coach we built and trained on 250+ episodes of The Intentional Leader Podcast and years of our own coaching. Each leader can text it, talk to it, or chat with it any time during the 90 days to prepare for a hard conversation, think through a decision, or figure out what to delegate. It also runs the Monday and Friday check-ins. It doesn't replace the live sessions. It keeps the work going between them.

Is it all virtual?

Yes. The live sessions are on Zoom, and everything else happens on your phone. No travel, no days out of the office.

What happens after day 90?

Every company gets the Intentional Leader Report showing where your people started and where they finished. If you want to keep developing your team after that, we'll talk about what fits, and there's no pressure to continue.

When does it start, and how do we pay?

The next class starts January 7, 2027, and enrollment closes December 11, 2026. The baseline happens in the weeks between. We pay attention to class size so the breakouts stay small, so don't wait too long. You can pay by card or by invoice.

Decisive leaders move.

The next class starts January 7, 2027, and enrollment closes December 11. Book 20 minutes with me and we'll figure out if it's the right fit for your team.

Unification leads to multiplication.
