A revolutionary approach for developing
adaptable, agile and aligned leaders.
Lei Comerford, CEO
Less than 50% of employees rate their company leadership as high quality, while 60% of new managers fail within the first two years.
Leadership today is in dire straits.
Does your company
✔ Struggle to adapt to the ever evolving business landscape?
✔ Fall short in keeping pace with advancements in AI?
✔ Have leaders who are micromanaging their teams?
✔ Grapple with conflict, lack of trust, low morale, low productivity and burnout?
In leadership, navigating challenges is an essential part of success.
Understanding when to respond, what to do and how to do it is the distinguishing factor between proactive versus reactive leadership.
The secret to authentic leadership is not a mystery.
Be part of the leadership evolution.

Recent Speaking Engagement
Hi, I’m Lei Comerford
Fueled by a mix of grit, dedication and determination, my upbringing and strong values have helped me thrive in healthcare and corporate leadership roles.
In my 30's, I experienced a career defining moment. I found myself in a role with unrealistic expectations. As a result, I was stretched too thin, my personal life suffered, and I even began to question my abilities.
I experienced the impact of poor leadership. Instead of it breaking me, it forged in me a new mission.
This inspired me to develop The Advancement™ training, designed to transform established and emerging leaders into adaptable, agile and aligned leaders.
Imagine a company filled with evolved leaders who:
Have a clear vision and the expertise to drive revenue growth
Foster an atmosphere of trust where employees feel engaged and committed for the long term
Set clear expectations that boost employee happiness and productivity, and ease stress
Handle any challenge with confidence and resilience
Embody the organization’s values and lead by example to inspire others

The Advancement™ is a proprietary methodology specializing in cultivating adaptable leaders through customized training and coaching that embodies the heart of leadership.
In a league of its own, The Advancement uniquely intertwines three core traits—innate and acquired—in each of us: diverse thinking styles, how we express and interpret emotions, and the unique personal qualities that drive motivation, behavior, and our interactions with others.
Our streamlined curriculum minimizes the time spent learning leadership techniques so your leaders can take tools directly from training and immediately apply them at work and in their personal lives.
The Advancement encompasses the development of adaptive leaders through four key pillars:
-
Developing INNOVATIVE leaders who excel in decision-making and problem solving.
-
Developing AUTHENTIC leaders who foster meaningful relationships, cognitive diversity, and communication skills that build trust and cohesion.
-
Developing EFFECTIVE leaders who optimize process, procedure and planning in delegation and implementation.
-
Developing COURAGEOUS leaders who cultivate a new relationship with their inner self and a growth mindset to become WHOLE LEADERS.
The Advancement™ leadership programs help leaders eliminate self-defeating behaviors by replacing them with empowering strategies that ignite greater performance, creativity, energy and fulfillment.
