Leadership development, group coaching, and team training rooted in Maxwell curriculum and built for blue-collar business owners who are done with theory.
This is private, direct, and built around your specific situation. Not a framework that gets applied the same way to every client. Your business, your team, your gaps, and your goals.
If you are an owner or operator who is hitting a ceiling and needs a thinking partner who has actually run a business in the trades, this is where we start. Bi-weekly sessions, unlimited email access, and real accountability between calls. Not cheerleading. Not theory. Working through what is actually in front of you.
A small cohort of owners and operators meeting weekly inside a structured program. You get the benefit of peer learning, shared accountability, and curriculum that builds week over week, without the cost of a private engagement.
The format is simple. Thirty minutes of focused teaching on a Maxwell Leadership principle. Thirty minutes of discussion, application, and problem-solving with the group. Then you go do the work. The current cohort is running through John Maxwell's "Everyone Communicates, Few Connect," one of the most practical leadership books ever written for people who lead teams in high-pressure environments.
An hour of focused leadership content brought to your location. No travel for your team, no full day off the floor, and something they can act on that same afternoon.
Lunch and Learns are a low-barrier way to start investing in your people without committing to a full program. Topics are customized to what your team is actually dealing with right now, whether that is communication breakdowns, accountability gaps, culture problems, or how to lead people who do not respond the way a textbook says they should.
Mastermind events are where things get serious. A small group of leaders working through a shared curriculum, holding each other accountable, and doing the kind of thinking that does not happen inside the four walls of your own business.
These are structured around Maxwell Leadership books and designed to run over an eight-week arc. Each week has a clear focus, a practical application, and an expectation that you actually go use what you learned before the next session. This is not a conversation club. It is a working group for operators who are committed to getting better.
Most people have heard of personality assessments. Most of those assessments sit in an email and never get used.
The DISC debrief at Upward Path is different because we spend time actually working through what your results mean for the way you lead, communicate, and make decisions. Not just "here is your profile." But here is why your techs are responding to you the way they are, here is why that conversation with your service advisor keeps going sideways, and here is what to do differently starting now.
The DISC is also one of the most valuable tools a leadership team can go through together. When you understand how your people are wired, you stop managing everyone the same way and start actually reaching them.
Most people who reach out are not sure which format fits. Book a call and we will figure it out together. No pitch, no pressure. Just a real conversation about where you are and whether this is a good fit.
