We provide a comprehensive set of services, and excel at creating specialized programs for our customers to address the challenges they face.  At Leading in the Fast Lane we know that no two problems are alike, so we don’t try to fit your challenges into a box, we build a box around your challenges!

What sets us apart...

  • Our goal is to make your life better.  Leading in the Fast Lane never forgets that our customers are people, and that they have lives; in the office, and out.  When we develop a plan to help a customer, we look not only at helping the organization, but the people within as well.

  • Leading in the Fast Lane handles all the boring business stuff for its consultants, meaning that when an LFL consultant goes to work with a customer, their sole focus is on their area of expertise, and how they can apply their expertise to make your life better.

  • LFL’s roots are in leadership and the military, providing a unique perspective on leadership in business.  LFL’s Leadership Check Ride can help assess your leadership abilities, providing insight into how you lead inside the office, and out.
  • LFL Check Rides

    In an LFL Check Ride, our consultants will create scenarios to help prepare participants for their real-life leadership challenges. Sometimes an academic solution isn't enough, and even if you know what needs to be done, it is very different than actually doing it. Unlike many other leadership assessments, the Check Ride operates more like an interview, or discussion, than a quiz or questionnaire. Our consultants take the participant through the scenarios, walk them through their feedback, and provide them with a final Progress Card. Though incredibly important, the Progress Card is more of an afterthought; leadership is about people, and inter-personal relationships, so when you're in a Check Ride, our focus is on you. With your determination, and our support, you can conquer all leadership challenges.

    When you could benefit from a Leading in the Fast Lane Check Ride:

    • Target Participants: Individual, Group, Team.
    • Content: Leadership assessment based on simulations of current, or expected, challenges (ex. team conflict or moving to a new position).
    • Value Created: The LFL Check Ride will provide immediate results to participants, followed up with a Progress Card. These results foster the individual's, or group's, leadership and teamwork abilities, and work to strengthen any weaknesses.

      LFL Check Ride Progress Cards can be used to baseline performance for future comparison. They can also be compared between participants, for general comparison, or to identify any systemic strengths, or weaknesses.

    • Environment: Safe, experiential, controlled.

    Developed based on military experience...

    Aviation Check Rides are included in flight training, to determine whether or not pilots are ready to safely fly on their own. It provides a safe space to test their skills, before they are thrown into a potentially dangerous environment. Our Lead Consultant, a retired Air Force Colonel, leveraged his extensive leading and training experience, to harness this approach and modify it for business. The LFL Check Ride gives leaders the same opportunity as those pilots; a safe place to test and hone their skills before it really counts.
