Before you
perform,
align.
Three workshops for leaders who want to build something that lasts — starting with who they actually are, what they actually stand for, and what they’re willing to move on.
Most leadership development teaches you new behaviors. This series teaches you the decisions those behaviors should come from.

The Method
A framework built for leaders who are still in it — not recovering from it.
Workshop 01 · May 12
Values
Finding Your Values
Your values are your internal navigation system. In this session, we unearth what you actually stand for — beneath the roles, the titles, the expectations — and build a blueprint you can make decisions against.
Walk out with: a documented values blueprint.
Workshop 02 · June 9
Purpose
Discovering Your Purpose
Purpose isn't a tagline. It's direction. We connect your lived experience to the impact you're meant to make, and sharpen it into something clear enough to stand behind under pressure.
Walk out with: a purpose statement you can stand behind.
Workshop 03 · July 7
Action
From Ideas to Action
Insight without action is potential. This is where we translate clarity into movement — identifying the barriers, naming the next decisions, and building an aligned plan you can implement the Monday after.
Walk out with: a 90-day aligned action plan.
Who this is for
If you’ve been leading long enough to know the performance game — and long enough to sense it isn’t enough — this is for you.
You've been promoted into leadership and you're running on instinct. You want to replace instinct with intentional practice.
You're navigating a transition — a new role, a new team, a new season — and the old version of how you led doesn't fit anymore.
You're performing well but you know the way you're performing isn't sustainable. Something has to give, and you'd rather choose it than have it chosen for you.
You've read the leadership books. You've done the assessments. Knowing what good leadership looks like hasn't closed the gap between who you are and how you lead.
Aligned leaders move differently. They lead with clarity instead of performing under pressure. They make decisions rooted in values, not expectations.
— The TrueNorth Thesis
Your Facilitator
Kambi Pope.
I lead a 29-person group — three teams — and that’s my day job, not my previous life. I’m still in the room where the pressure lives. TrueNorth exists because I wanted to help other leaders outside my organization align with the same frameworks I rely on when leading through pressure or change. I believe we have to start with knowing who we are — so we can lead from a place of integrity and clarity for ourselves and the people and organizations we serve.
I built this series for leaders still in the middle of it — not recovering from it. For the Senior Director pulled between results and relationships. For the emerging leader who sees the pattern ahead and doesn’t want to repeat it. For the working mother, like me, who knows the version she’s performing at work isn’t the version her daughter needs at home.
The TrueNorth Method — Values, Purpose, Action — isn’t theory. It’s the framework I use on myself, every quarter, to close the gap between who I am and how I lead.

What you walk out with
Not slides. Not frameworks on a deck. Your own work, in writing, by the end of each session.
A values blueprint
Specific. Documented. Ordered by priority. The thing you make decisions against when the performance pressure gets loud.
A purpose statement
Two sentences you can stand behind under pressure. Not a tagline. Direction.
An action plan
The concrete next moves for the next 90 days — what you'll start, what you'll stop, what you'll say out loud.
A sharper filter
A way to evaluate the next opportunity, the next hire, the next request for your time — against what actually matters, not what feels urgent.
A peer cohort
12 other leaders doing the same work. The alumni network that forms in this room is half the value.
Follow-through
A 30-day check-in after Workshop 3 to hold the work — because insight without follow-up is just another journal entry.
Reserve

One decision.

Honest answers
Questions worth asking.
Is this for individuals, teams, or both?
Designed for individual leaders first. The work is personal — values, purpose, alignment — and those answers don't arrive in a team setting. That said, past participants have brought their own direct reports through later workshops as a team experience. Start with yourself.
What if I can only attend one of the three?
You can. Each workshop is designed to stand alone, and individual seats are $150. The series rate ($400) exists because the work compounds — Workshop 1's values blueprint feeds Workshop 2's purpose statement, which feeds Workshop 3's action plan. People who attend all three walk out with something they can actually use.
Is this faith-based?
Faith informs how I coach, and it shows up in the way I hold the room. But the workshops themselves aren't Bible studies. The framework works whether you share that faith or not. If it's a factor in your decision, ask — I'll give you an honest answer.
I'm in corporate. Will this feel too 'life coach' for me?
No. I'm a sitting Senior Director leading a 29-person group across three teams at a Midwest lab company. I built this for the room I'm in, not the room I left. If the word 'coaching' carries baggage for you, read this as leadership development — the language matters less than the work.
What do I actually walk out with?
Workshop 1: a documented values blueprint. Workshop 2: a purpose statement you can stand behind. Workshop 3: an action plan you can implement Monday morning. Not frameworks on a slide deck — your own work, in writing, by the end of each session.
What if I reserve a seat and need to cancel?
Full refund up to 7 days before the workshop date. Within 7 days, we credit you toward the next cohort. No one gets stuck.
You already know whether this is for you.
If the gap between who you are and how you lead has been sitting with you — this is the work. Twelve seats, three sessions, one spring.
