We are happy to offer our program content in the form of workshops, action learning, consultation, and train-the-trainer formats, and our materials can be adapted for employees and leaders at all levels of the organization.


Leadership Development:

Advanture designs and delivers high quality, action-oriented, and results-based leadership development programs in more than two dozen subject areas.

Our flagship program, Legacy, is a modular leadership development program that enables you to combine core competencies in supervision, management, and leadership. Legacy utilizes "whole person learning" to foster professional, personal, and interpersonal growth and is ideally suited for mid-level managers and high potential supervisors from organizations in all industries and sectors of the economy.

Our Legacy Executive program is a leadership and organizational development program for senior leaders, and is offered to clients as a customized program on an exclusive basis. Legacy Executive combines general executive leadership development with four major action learning projects.

At Advanture, we firmly believe—and know from experience—that leadership development can be a lot more than a short-term motivator. When appropriately designed and applied, leadership development programs generate real and sustainable business results for individuals, teams, and organizations.


Management Consulting:

Advanture's management consulting group offers Custom Solutions in a variety of areas including:

Executive Coaching:

All of our leadership and organizational development programs can be offered in the form of executive coaching for clients who prefer the confidentiality of private coaching sessions to very public workshops or team-based consultation. Our unique approach to coaching enables us to offer the content of a particular leadership development or management consulting program (ideas, skills, tools, etc.) to a single individual or small team with the objective of building skills or enhancing performance with sustainable solutions. According to the needs of the client, coaching may combine workshop, facilitation, coaching, and consultation.
