Leadership From the Inside Out

Equipping first-time leaders with the skills, confidence, and practical tools to lead people well, build strong teams, and drive meaningful results through our instructor-led Program

New leaders are often promoted because of their performance but are then expected to navigate the complexities of leadership with little formal development. This program helps first-time leaders develop the confidence, communication skills, emotional intelligence, and practical leadership  approaches needed to build trust, navigate challenges, unite teams, and achieve results through others.

Hi! I’m Jennifer Murphy.

As a leader of leaders, one of my greatest joys has been supporting first-time people leaders. Their enthusiasm, desire to help others, and commitment to making a difference are truly inspiring.

At the same time, I’ve seen firsthand that the transition from individual contributor to people leader can be both exciting and challenging. Suddenly, leaders are navigating greater responsibility, team dynamics, difficult conversations, performance feedback, competing priorities, and heightened expectations—often without feeling fully prepared for all that leadership entails.

Drawing on nearly 20 years of experience leading teams and organizations, I help emerging leaders develop the skills, confidence, and practical approaches needed to lead people well. Through coaching and training, I equip leaders to build trust, communicate effectively, persevere through challenges with emotional intelligence, and lead with clarity, purpose, and care.

Built around four essential pillars, this program will help you gain:

Pillar 1: Leadership Starts Within.

  • Embrace the leadership mindset
  • Align your team to the mission
  • Manage time, priorities, and energy
  • Establish healthy boundaries and support systems
  • Lead former peers with confidence and credibility

Pillar 2: Lead People Well.

  • Build trust through consistent connection
  • Strengthen Emotional Intelligence (EQ)
  • Foster a culture of belonging and engagement
  • Empower every team member’s contribution
  • Communicate effectively across generations

Pillar 3: Cultivate Healthy Teams.

  • Build trust through meaningful feedback and coaching
  • Empower others through delegation and development
  • Lead difficult conversations with confidence and care
  • Foster healthy conflict and collaboration
  • Create a culture of connection, belonging, and joy

Pillar 4: Navigating Change & Discerning Decisions

  • Explore how change impacts others differently
  • Support and guide others through transition
  • Make wise decisions through collaboration, discernment, and due diligence

In addition to the four core leadership pillars, participants will complete a Working Genius Assessment, providing valuable insight into how they naturally contribute, where they experience frustration, and how these patterns influence communication, productivity, and team dynamics.

The assessment and a 30-minute individual results debrief will be completed prior to the start of the program, allowing participants to immediately apply their insights throughout the learning experience.

By incorporating the Working Genius framework into the program, leaders gain a shared language for understanding themselves and others, strengthening collaboration, increasing engagement, and leading their teams more effectively.
