Your business is built to grow—but some leaders are still managing tasks instead of leading people.
Many struggle to delegate.
Some find it hard to build a high-performing team.
Others are uncomfortable navigating difficult conversations.
Some find it difficult to communicate change and gain buy-in.
We’ll help you develop high-potential managers into confident leaders
who add value and drive results.
Self 2.0 gives your mid and senior-level leaders the skills, structure, and confidence to lead—not just manage.
It’s leadership development they’ll actually use.
Leaders who go through Self 2.0 don’t just grow personally—they lead differently. They coach better, handle conflict with ease, and build teams that take ownership.
Outcomes You Can Expect:
Confident Leadership: Self 2.0 helps leaders own their role, speak with clarity, and lead with purpose.
Coaching That Clicks: Leaders learn real-world tools that improve conversations, build trust, and drive performance.
Clear Delegation & Empowerment: Participants start building people by learning how to delegate effectively and create space for others to step up.
Common Language: Your leaders become culture carriers who elevate your business with a shared language, consistent habits and peer accountability.

Start building the team you wish you already had.
You become the bottleneck—your leaders rely on you to make the hard calls.
Your time and energy gets drained putting out fires your leaders should be preventing.
Morale drops—your team is frustrated by those who are unproductive.
Growth slows because you’re managing people who should already be leading.
Your best people leave—and the ones who stay aren’t growing fast enough to keep up.
We know how exhausting it is to be the go-to for every decision, conversation, or conflict. That’s why we created Self 2.0 to give your leaders the tools and confidence to step-up.
We’ve coached thousands of leaders across high-growth tech companies and seen the shift firsthand— from first-time managers to seasoned executives.
➔ 95% retention rate—leaders feel management is invested in them and their careers
➔ 84% of leaders have reported greater confidence
➔ 83% have built new allies across the business they can now rely upon to accelerate results
➔ 92% are now making a conscious effort to build trust with each member
of their team
We'll get clear on your team's leadership challenges and goals, and determine if Self 2.0 is the right fit for your team.
We'll enable your leaders with practical training, tools, and
implementation support they need to thrive.
You'll gain better alignment, accelerate team execution, and create a culture of energetic momentum.
You’re no longer in the weeds—your leaders handle the day-to-day with confidence and clarity.
Your team communicates more effectively, navigates conflict with ease, and drives performance on their own.
You’re seen as the executive who builds leaders, not just someone who manages outcomes.
Leadership and growth become scalable—culture and execution no longer depends on you.
You have the space to think strategically, lead the business forward, and enjoy work again.
