Why Alignment Matters for Leaders
Most strategies fail because there isn’t alignment to the new behaviors and decisions required to deliver on them.
The Certified Aligned Leader Program was designed by Dr. Julie Williamson from an intersection of business experience and social science that makes this program much different from other leadership development programs.
So ask yourself, are you…
- Tired of ‘doing’ instead of ‘leading’?
- Unsure how alignment plays into your role as a leader?
- Looking for new ways to improve your leadership skills and increase your influence?
If so, the Certified Aligned Leader Program can teach you the skills to create and maintain alignment on your team and across your organization through influence, not power.
Alignment is the most under leveraged superpower a leader can develop to spark real change
Our premier leadership programs are grounded in the four dimensions of alignment: Clarity, Connection, Commitment, and Courage. As leaders explore how to work beyond agreement by creating alignment with their colleagues, each dimension comes into play to create the conditions for growth.
OUR 6 WEEK PROGRAM
balances your availability and desired pacing within a directed time-frame to drive understanding and adoption.

Exceptional Results Come from Aligned Leadership
Through our Alignment Journey work, Karrikins Group has exposed thousands of leaders to the power of alignment and provided them with tools and resources to create aligned teams that deliver on ambitious goals. We have developed the Aligned Leader Program as a way to reach more leaders, inviting mid- to senior level leaders to apply the tools and resources in meaningful ways to their own challenges.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to have people reporting to me to participate?
No, you do not have to have people reporting to you to participate. Aligned Leadership supports your work with colleagues and cross-functional teams and is a valuable superpower to develop regardless of your role in the organization.
What organizational leadership level is this program appropriate for?
This program is ideal for mid to senior level leaders who work across the organization as well as within their verticals. It will help you to strengthen your skills in both leading teams and influencing across your organization to get the most important work accomplished.
Why is the program six weeks? / What happens if I can’t make all the sessions?
We believe that consistency over time makes for better learning than a single catalytic event. It takes effort to develop superpowers, and by spreading that effort over six weeks you dramatically increase the likelihood of success.
The dates for the two full-cohort sessions (Launch and Closing) are available at the time of registration. These sessions as well as the office hours will be recorded and posted in the learning platform.
Is there a discount for group registrations, or an option do a cohort internally?
Yes, we provide discounts for group registrations of three or more people. If you would like to fill a cohort with people from the same company, we also offer a cohort-level program option. Please contact us directly using the form below for more information.
How will this impact my leadership / career development?
We provide the framework, the partnership, and the access – you do the hard work of stepping into your own power and voice. Together we build the muscle you need to make alignment visible, to effectively hold yourself and others accountable to being aligned, and to make the hard decisions that strategic success requires. You can expect to finish the program with new tools and resources to grow your career and to elevate your leadership vertically and horizontally in your organization.
