Become a more capable and competent leader in only 90 days.
Our vision to make excellent leadership the worldwide standard drives us to reach leaders where they are at now. We have all experienced mediocre or even bad leadership. Often these leaders have good intentions but without training and insight they are set up to fail. Through our partnerships with teams, individuals and organizations we increase and accelerate leadership excellence, a specific skill that helps leaders successfully achieve high levels of performance.
Seasons Leadership’s four acorns: leading self, leading others, leading business and leading community highlight critical elements in wholistic leadership development. Our approach is rooted in our personal experience, best practices like the world-recognized Baldrige framework, intuition and expertise from many years of successfully leading teams and coaching individuals.
We use inspiration from the seasons to support leaders with insight to reach new levels of excellence throughout the cycles of their own career and life.
The cycles of growth, renewal and transformation experienced in the natural seasons are a roadmap for the cycles we all experience in our leadership journey. At Seasons Leadership we structure our course material, resources and tools through this metaphor to give leaders support and insight to achieve more during these cycles.
Spring/Awaken: Growth begins – perhaps with a new role or purpose. We help you gain awareness of yourself as a leader so you can be guided and energized by your own unique values to design the form your leadership vision will take.
Summer/Cultivate: Real growth is occurring at a rapid pace – you are in the flow with your role or purpose. We help you cultivate ideas that will yield the results you want. This clarity of vision provides the energy to make it all happen.
Fall/Integrate: You harvest the results of your work. We help you integrate all you have learned into the new version of you. As you demonstrate new skills and capabilities that change how you show up every day now is the time to celebrate your success.
Winter/Transform: You start the process of rest and evaluation. We help you transform through reflection on what has worked and what needs to be adapted or cleared out to be an even stronger version of you living more authentically and intentionally.
Seasons Leadership Values: Leadership, Love, Integrity, Excellence, Creativity, Contribution, Curiosity, Balance, Independence, and Connection.
At Seasons Leadership, we believe in and demonstrate values-based leadership. A leader who is working in congruence and alignment with their core values has a firm foundation on which to build and reach new heights. There is no set formula of values that leads to success. Instead, it is through discovering and honoring your unique values that you gain clarity around the path forward and feel empowered to take positive action as a leader.

Debbie Collard and Susan Ireland are both seasoned leaders who passionately believe in the importance of leadership excellence- core competencies, nationally recognized frameworks and tools because they have personally put them into practice with stellar results – leading teams with a significant impact on the world. Both leaders spent 30 years in aviation succeeding in large-scale systems integration – including design, manufacture, regulations and market influences - that combine to create a product that allows people to travel in comfort and safety around the globe.
This proving ground provided many opportunities for perspective and leadership growth. Susan and Debbie benefitted from formal leadership training offered at a company-level based on their individual levels within the organization. Because of how much they gained from these experiences they are motivated to offer leadership training and resources to all leaders –regardless of level.
Instead of waiting for a company to identify talent in you – you can realize the desire to lead within yourself - we are all leaders to someone- and take the personal responsibility to get the training and support you need to help your teams/future teams succeed.
Debbie Collard has worked with a wide range of executives to develop strategies, reach milestones and celebrate achievements. Leadership and performance have been the focus of Debbie's career, while she maintained a commitment to her family and community.

DownloadWhen we develop relationships, we build community. To do this intentionally and with purpose results in a conscious community that can nurture each other and “rise” together. That’s why it is important!
DownloadDo you know what your values are? Do you have an explicit set of operating principles for your team or organization? If not, it is never too late to get started!
DownloadEven if nurturing relationships is easy for you, to successfully network, one helpful practice is to create a “Relationship Matrix.” The matrix is a list of people that you want to build and nurture a relationship in business with.
DownloadAre you the person who intends to accomplish a goal next year but “next year” keeps sliding to … the next year? We have a better way to set you up for success!
DownloadFall means running Cross Country. This sport has shaped so many of my fall seasons of life. First as a student athlete and now as a coach. This sport, which is all about racing across varied terrain, takes on an almost mythical quality for me and I suspect many other runners that are drawn to this open-air competition.
Read MoreThis summer, I've been reflecting on the concept of agency because my coaching clients have been talking about it. People say things like, “I could never do that!” or “I’m burning out, my boss doesn’t see all that I do!”
Read MoreDebbie's previous blog "recharge your leadership batteries" offers some timely insights to help you reboot your own practice of "me time." She shares this important reminder that inspires me to take time for myself, "by taking time off not only was I benefiting, but I was giving someone else the opportunity to stretch and grow and show themselves and others what they could do."
