Leader Formation Lab

16 weeks · 3 domains · 1 cohort

Become the leader you were meant to be.

For leaders who are ready to stop just performing and start becoming.

The moment that brought you here

Something has shifted.

At some point in your leadership journey, a question surfaces. It doesn't announce itself. It just starts showing up, quietly, in the gaps between meetings and in the still moments before sleep.

Early in the journey

You were recently promoted. You're doing the work, saying the right things. But behind the competent exterior, there's a question you can't shake:

"I don't know if I actually know how to do this. How long before someone figures that out?"

Further down the road

You've been leading for years. You've built things. Hit the numbers. Earned the title. And yet, somewhere along the way, you started to wonder:

"Is this it? Why does it feel like something's missing?"

Two different places in the journey. The same underlying question:

"Who am I becoming in the process of leading, and is that person someone I actually want to be?"

That question isn't a sign something is wrong with you. It's a sign something in you is awake: paying attention to what matters, and refusing to settle for leadership that costs more than it should.

What nobody tells you

Most leadership development will make you more effective. Almost none of it will help you become more whole.

The leadership development industry is enormous, and mostly aimed at one thing: helping you perform better. More productivity. Better communication. Sharper strategy. Those things matter.

But they're not the whole picture.

The leaders who burn out aren't usually lacking skills. They're leading from a depleted center. The leaders who plateau aren't usually lacking talent. They're stuck in patterns that no amount of tactical training will touch, because the patterns live deeper than tactics can reach. And the leaders who succeed by every external measure but feel hollow? They've optimized for the wrong thing.

Here's what most effective leaders are actually wrestling with:

Leadership isn't just something you do. It's something you become. And most leaders are trying to navigate that process alone, without a map, and without anyone asking the questions that actually matter.

Introducing

The

Leader Formation Lab

A 16-week cohort experience for leaders who are ready to stop performing leadership and start becoming it, building the inner life, the organizational health, and the intentional life that will sustain them for decades.

This isn't a course you consume. It's the beginning of a lifetime formation process.

The curriculum

Three Domains. One Integrated Leader.

This is formation work: personal, practical, and deeply integrated. Over 16 weeks you'll move through all three domains, building self-knowledge and frameworks you'll carry for the rest of your career.

01

Lead Whole

The inner life of the leader

Great leadership starts from the inside out. In this domain we do the work most leadership programs skip entirely: the deep, inner work that makes everything else sustainable.

02

Build What Matters

The health of what you're building

You can't build a healthy organization from an unhealthy center. This domain gives you the frameworks to lead teams that actually function, with clarity at the core.

03

Live on Purpose

The life behind the leadership

Leadership is not your whole life. But the way most leaders operate is designed to make it feel that way. This domain helps you build a life that actually works.

Other topics we'll cover

What's included

Everything you need to go deep.

8 live group coaching sessions

Eight 90-minute sessions with Larry and your cohort over 16 weeks. Not webinars. Coaching. Real conversation, real accountability, real formation.

LBL Leadership Formation Assessment

A comprehensive assessment across all three domains before the program begins. You'll know exactly where you are, and where the real work lives.

The Formation Journal

A curated journal mailed to you before Day 1. Designed for the weekly rhythm: Learn, Reflect, Practice, Notice, Share, Deepen.

The LFL Blueprint

Your complete program guide: frameworks, tools, prompts, and practices across all three domains. Something you'll return to long after the program ends.

A vetted peer cohort

The community is part of the formation. A small, intentionally selected group. The conversations you can't have inside your organization, you can have here.

Included bonuses

Because the work starts
before Week 1.

These bonuses aren't padding. They're direct responses to two of the most pressing needs you'll face as a leader, and they're included with your enrollment.

Bonus #1

The Aligning Conversations Course

Hard conversations don't wait for Week 8. This standalone course gives you a proven framework for conversations that create clarity, rebuild trust, and address underperformance, so you're equipped from day one.

Value: $97 · Included

Bonus #2

One 60-minute 1:1 coaching session each month

Group coaching creates community. Private coaching creates breakthrough. Each month you'll have a dedicated one-on-one session with Larry to go deeper on what the group can't, and make sure the formation is actually landing.

Value: $2,000 · Included

How each week flows

The Weekly Rhythm

Every week inside the Lab follows a simple, repeatable pattern. Not about consuming more content. About building practices that will serve you for a lifetime.

Learn → Reflect → Practice → Notice → Share → Deepen

"There's no pressure to be perfect. There is an invitation to be present and intentional."

About Larry Boatright

Larry Boatright is the founder of LeadBuildLive, an ICF Level 2-trained executive coach (Townsend Institute, Concordia University Irvine), and a certified Leadership Coaching Specialist (LCS). He's spent his career at the intersection of executive coaching, character formation, organizational leadership, and human flourishing.

He's worked with leaders at every level, from first-time managers navigating their first promotion to senior executives who've hit the ceiling of what competence alone can produce. In both cases, the work is the same: helping leaders build from the inside out, so the life they're building on the outside is actually worth having.

"I'm not here to make you a better performer. I'm here to help you become a more whole person, who leads exceptionally well as a result."
