Sprint Leader Training & Licensing
Own the System. Scale the Impact.
Everything you need whether you’re an
independent coach or an internal L&D leader
What It Is and Who It’s For
Proven at Scale. Now Yours To Own.
Sprint Leader Training equips you to deliver this proven methodology on your own, not as a one-time certification, but as a capability-building system designed for real-world delivery and scale.
The Sprint has been delivered to over 10,000 leaders across 75+ countries in 11 languages, driving culture-changing shifts in leadership mindsets and behavior, above-target business outcomes, and millions in bottom-line results. This training gives you everything you need to deliver it yourself, across your client base, or inside your organization.

For Independent Coaches and Consultants
You do exceptional work with individual leaders and teams. But traditional coaching models limit your reach.
Sprint Leader Training enables you to move beyond one-to-one delivery and into repeatable, enterprise-ready transformation. It turns individual engagements into cohort-based and team-level work, deepening existing client relationships by addressing systemic challenges, and competing credibly for engagements typically awarded to large firms.
This training is not just adding a tool. It’s changing the scale and scope of what your practice can deliver.
For Organizations Building Internal Capability
Strategic transformation requires leaders at every level to make specific mindset and behavior shifts, quickly, consistently, and in alignment with one another. Sprint Leader Training allows you to build the internal muscle to own and embed leadership development as an internal capability, rather than depending on outside experts or episodic programs.
You do not need professional facilitators to make this work. Some of our most effective Sprint Leaders have been operational leaders with no prior facilitation background, including a research scientist at a global organization who leads Sprints across multiple functions.
What the Sprint-Based System Delivers
It builds the specific capabilities your organization needs.
You define the “From-To” shifts that matter most, such as moving from siloed decision-making to enterprise thinking, from risk avoidance to disciplined experimentation, or from individual contribution to building capacity in others. The Sprint can target those exact shifts and more.
It builds the capability to keep growing.
Leaders build developmental intelligence: self-awareness of their own limiting patterns and the transparency to share them, the curiosity to understand others, and the discipline to experiment forward. This is the meta-capability required to meet whatever the future demands.
It connects development to real work.
Leaders apply developmental insights to live business challenges, resulting in better decisions, stronger collaboration, and faster execution. This transformation happens immediately, not months later.
It transforms the culture of teams and organizations.
Over time, leaders’ primary developmental relationships shift from outside experts to one another, and development becomes a team discipline. Growth normalizes. Capability compounds. Leaders approach challenges and each other differently. The process of developing together reshapes how they lead together.
Why an Operating System Matters
How an organization develops leaders is how the organization functions.
When development is fragmented, episodic, or externally driven, the organization operates accordingly: siloed, inconsistent, and reactive. We ask Individual leaders to make heroic, isolated leaps while the system around them remains unchanged.
The Developmental Sprint® offers something different: a leadership development operating system.
It establishes peer coaching as the primary engine of growth, builds durable relationships across the organization, and provides leaders with a shared language and a disciplined development process. Growth happens in the flow of real work, not alongside it.
The result: behavior changes faster, relationships deepen, and the system sustains itself over time.
How It Works
Sprint Leader Training prepares you to facilitate the complete Developmental Sprint® experience. We deliver the training in two complementary ways, depending on your needs and circumstances:
Workshop-Based Training: Three 2.5-hour interactive workshops, delivered at weekly intervals. Sessions combine deep immersion in methodology with hands-on practice. Between sessions, participants complete preparation work and practice Sprint delivery.
Following the workshops, participants submit recordings of their Sprint facilitation for review and individualized feedback from TDE.
Apprentice Model: Participants co-facilitate live Sprints alongside experienced TDE Sprint Leaders, assuming increasing responsibility over time. This model provides real-time coaching and feedback in authentic settings, and we often combine it with workshop-based training for large internal cohorts.
Case Story: From Two Sprint Leaders to Four Continents: A global non-profit seeking consistent leadership development across four continents trained two internal leaders using the workshop model outlined above. Those leaders delivered Sprints to over 100 leaders worldwide, creating a shared developmental language and approach. The organization is now expanding its internal bench through the apprentice pathway and developing more leaders worldwide.
Everything You Need To Start Delivering: Sprint Leader Training is more than a certification. It builds real capability to deliver, and it develops the Sprint Leaders themselves. We hear this often: one Sprint Leader trained at a global organization called it “one of the best developmental experiences” of his career.
The training includes:
- Facilitation training for Sprint launch and closing workshops
- Coach training in the Sprint-based developmental methodology
- Individualized coaching and feedback from TDE staff
- Comprehensive facilitation and coaching guidebook
- Full workshop delivery materials
- Access to the TDE E-Tool for Sprint participants
- Ongoing support from TDE
Licensing That Enables Scale: We’ve designed our licensing to remove barriers, not create them.
Terms are flexible and proportionate, with pay-as-you-go or package options available. Your license covers the full ecosystem, including the Developmental Sprint® and the Developmental Workout®. The goal is simple: make it easy to start and easy to scale.
