About the Spitfire Activation Process

The SPITFIRE Activation Process (S.A.P.) was developed to activate leaders through an 8-part journey of Self-Awareness, Personal Growth, Implementation, Timing, Fierceness, Iteration, Resiliency, and Empowerment. Through this adventure, we teach leaders and teams the necessary skills, frameworks and systems to lead like coaches and ignite the inner fire in others.

S.A.P. leverages The 4 Stages of Psychological Safety, one-one-one coaching with ICF Certified Coaches, group coaching cohorts led by master facilitators, private Resentment Release Intensives, and group trainings and innovation labs to build cohesive teams and empowered leaders.
