Virtual Leadership Academy

BetterCulture’s Virtual Leadership Academy is a live, virtual leadership development experience designed to be completed over 12 months from the time you join.

The Academy includes 10 core leadership courses delivered on a rotating monthly schedule.

Each month, members participate in:

• One live, instructor-led leadership course focused on a core MindSet Leadership topic
• One optional Ask Us Anything session where BetterCulture consultants address real leadership questions from participants

When you join, you begin with the course being offered that month and continue month by month until you’ve completed all 10 core courses.

Your 12-month membership window allows you to complete the full curriculum while applying what you learn in real time.

Yes. The Virtual Leadership Academy is designed as an evergreen, start-anytime program.

There are no fixed start dates. When you enroll:

• You begin with the course being offered that month
• You continue through the rotating monthly courses until you complete all 10 core modules
• Your 12-month access period begins on your enrollment date

Most participants complete all core courses within their 12-month membership while participating in live sessions and applying what they learn throughout the year.

The program includes 10 core MindSet Leadership courses, taught live throughout the year on a rotating schedule. Together, they form a clear, practical framework for leading people well.

Core course topics include:

• Instilling Pride
• Appreciation & Recognition
• Building Stars (Developing High Performers)
• Dealing with Problem Employees
• Not Sucking at Communication
• Making Better Decisions
• Mastering Conflict
• Making Work Enjoyable
• Building High-Performing Teams
• Setting and Achieving Goals

All members begin with a short pre-recorded onboarding experience that introduces the MindSet Leadership framework and explains how the program works.

Most members spend 2–3 hours per month in the program.

This typically includes:

• attending (or watching) one monthly course
• optional participation in the Ask Us Anything session
• completing a short quiz or reflection tied to the course

The quizzes and reflections are intentionally lightweight. They provide reinforcement and learning accountability without being time-consuming or burdensome.

• Live course sessions typically run 60–90 minutes
• Ask Us Anything sessions typically run 60 minutes

Courses are generally offered once per month, though in some months an additional live session may be scheduled.

All session dates and times are shared in advance inside the community.

All live course sessions are recorded and added to a growing course library.

If you miss a live session, you can:

• watch the recording at your convenience
• complete the associated quiz or reflection
• stay fully on track within your 12-month program window

Live attendance is encouraged, but not required.

No. Ask Us Anything sessions are optional. They are designed to give participants space to:

• ask real questions
• explore current leadership challenges
• apply the MindSet Leadership framework in real time

Many members find them highly valuable, but participation is not required for program completion.

Both.

The program is especially valuable for:

• new or emerging leaders learning how to lead people
• experienced leaders who want to strengthen how they think, communicate, and lead

Because the focus is on leadership mindset and behavior, the content remains relevant across experience levels.

The Virtual Leadership Academy is not cohort-based.

It runs on a rolling schedule:

• leaders join at different times
• everyone participates in the same monthly live courses
• each member completes the program over their own 12-month timeline

This provides flexibility while preserving a shared learning experience.

Yes.

Organizations may enroll as many leaders as they choose. All participants join the same virtual learning community and participate in the same live sessions.

There are no separate organizational cohorts or group discounts. This allows organizations to:

• develop leaders consistently
• build shared leadership language
• benefit from diverse perspectives

Yes.

Participants earn a MindSet Leadership Program completion certification by:

• completing all 10 core courses (live or recorded)
• completing the associated quizzes or reflections

These elements provide a meaningful level of rigor while remaining realistic for working leaders.

If you do not complete the program within your first 12 months, you may extend your membership for an additional 12 months at $299.

This is the same rate offered to program alumni.

During an extension period, you:

• remain part of the community
• continue attending live courses
• retain access to recordings
• can complete remaining requirements and earn certification

After completing the program, participants are invited to remain members of the Alumni community.

Alumni membership includes:

• continued access to live courses
• optional participation in Ask Us Anything sessions
• access to the full recorded course library
• ongoing community engagement

Alumni membership is $299 per year.

Yes.

The program is designed so leaders can immediately apply what they’re learning — including language, frameworks, and practical approaches — directly with their teams.

Many participants report noticeable changes in how they lead within their first few months.
