Leadership Lab – February 6 – March 13, 2026

Leadership Lab – Build the Leader Your Business Needs Next

Leadership isn’t theory—it's practice. It shows up in the way you communicate, make decisions, grow people, and move your business forward.
Leadership Lab is a hands-on development experience designed for Cowichan-based business owners and managers who want to lead with confidence, clarity, and impact.

This program gives you structured learning and real-world tools you can use right away. You’ll learn alongside a small group of other Cowichan business owners, explore new ways to approach challenges, and walk away with practices that improve how you lead teams, manage growth, and make decisions that matter.

What Participants Are Saying

“The Leadership Lab went much farther than any other training I had done. It helped tie the many aspects of leadership together in a way that finally made sense.”
“I feel equipped with a toolbox I actually use—I'm making decisions more intentionally and with better results.”
