We hired Unicorn Labs to train first time managers on our team. They were instrumental in giving us education and tactics for conflict management, project management processes, and gave us strategies on how to improve our communication skills as a team.

Unicorn Labs gave the team exactly the type of experience they needed to develop skills and rapport with one another to provide a noticeable impact on team performance. Fahd turned even the most skeptical participants into engaged participants with his energy, charisma, and relatability. The exercises and lessons learned were perfect to not only make the team better but also to positively influence engagements with stakeholders, partners, and customers.

Unicorn Labs has been fantastic for our organization for nearly three years now. I work with Fahd monthly, and he and his team are phenomenal. He’s helped us grow our company and dramatically improve our company culture. I’ve worked with other training organizations before and none come even close. I can’t recommend them enough.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does it include?

Our Unicorn Leadership Training Program is a virtual 12-week program that catapults your managers from good to great! Program participants are asked to complete assessments, take in the videos from each module, and complete the relevant weekly action items. We recommend bringing any pressing leadership challenges and questions to our weekly live group coaching sessions to enhance learning, strengthen their peer-to-peer bonds, and take an active role in their learning journey! And of course, it includes all of the leadership frameworks and resources for them to use their role to create a tangible positive impact on your team.

Why is this better than using open source content?

While there are pre-set elements to this training along with a structured curriculum, we have the unique capacity to use the assessment results to customize our programming to suit the identified needs of your organization and the leaders in the cohort. This creates a scalable system to create long-term transformation that is shared by your leadership team, where once a week, there is an opportunity to speak to your coach in real time, bring up questions, and learn from within a group setting.

How is this better than one-on-one coaching?

The fundamental difference between one-on-one coaching and our programming is that in this setting, your managers have the opportunity and time to learn from each other and the content itself. Leadership development doesn’t happen in a vacuum. We give your team the exact steps to advance their leadership skills and teach them how to apply it in real time. Learning together as a cohort creates stronger relationships and improved camaraderie. With us, you’re getting a personalized program rather than open-source and significant long-term transformational learning.

What makes Fahd qualified to teach the program?

Fahd has over a decade of experience leading teams. He has led an organization with over 150 staff, built multiple startups, and combined his first-person experience with literature and up-to-date research to create Unicorn Labs’ proprietary Six Levels of High-Performing Teams Framework on which our whole program is based.

This framework takes managers on a learning journey through these six levels and elevates their skill set, tool set and mindset to achieve next-level success and make a lasting change in their behaviour.

How can I be confident this program works for different learning styles?

Part of the inclusive nature of the program is that our asynchronous content can be absorbed by watching the videos, listening to the audio, or reading the transcript, and all at the pace that suits their learning style within the week of the corresponding module. In addition, we wrap every module with a live coaching session where we use miro boards to inform our discussions so people can participate at their comfort level. We have found that keeping the cohorts smaller encourages even the quietest of managers to participate.

How much administrative work is required?

Every enterprise client is assigned an Account Manager who will handle your onboarding experience. Our job is to make it as seamless as possible for your organization. All we ask of you is to ensure that your teams complete the required assessments so we can make the program as impactful as possible. After that, the cohort members are responsible for keeping up with their modules and assigned tasks, and we take it from there!

How do I ensure that the managers stay engaged throughout the program?

Our Unicorn Leadership programming is designed to be an immersive learning experience that keeps managers engaged. With new content released weekly and assessments and action items to ensure the material is being implemented, we hold our cohorts accountable by wrapping up every module with live coaching calls with their peers to discuss the previous week’s material.

We’re already so busy, so what kind of time commitment are we talking about here?

Your managers can expect to put in 1.5 hours per module throughout the program, capped by a 1.5-hour live coaching call. Sound heavy? We’ve got you covered; we also offer this program over a 24-week period to lighten the lift on your end and give you some of that time back.

How many of my leaders can I enroll?

We have found that the transformational learning value of a cohort-based model starts to decline after 8-10 participants as the comfort level with sharing decreases as a cohort grows. Don’t let that discourage you if you’ve got a bigger team; we will happily run multiple cohorts at a time for your organization!

But my managers aren’t at the same experience level, can you still accommodate us?

Depending on the size of your team, oftentimes, we will create different cohorts by level. Our experience has shown us that when mid-level managers, VPs and C-suite executives are in the same cohort, the level of openness and sharing can be impacted. If you only have one or two executives with your other managers, we also provide 1:1 coaching. Let us know your thoughts, and we’ll find a solution!

Will this be financially worth it?

Poor leadership will cost you directly through poor employee retention and indirectly through poor engagement. On average, for a Tech StartUp earning 5M - 10M in revenue, a poor manager could cost you -$436,250 and leave an increased earning potential of $1,008,000 on the table. The question should be: Can you afford not to invest in leadership development?

Why would we invest in external leadership training rather than in-house programming?

Developing an in-house training system is an expensive investment, often requiring new hires, research, investing in a learning platform, and navigating large-scale organizational change.

By investing in Unicorn Labs as your training partner, we will instill your team with a common leadership language, a growth mindset, a tactical leadership toolbox, and LIFETIME access to an established learning platform as long as they are with your organization. Let us handle the change for you and take a load off!

What kind of record of completion will our managers receive?

All graduates from our Unicorn Leadership Program will receive a completion certificate through Credly and a hard copy that they can then display proudly!
