The 21st Century Leadership Institute is dedicated to shaping tomorrow’s leaders today. Our mission is to coach leaders, teams, and organizations to rethink, redefine, and revolutionize their approach to leadership.

2

HacWe specialize in empowering CEOs, C-Suite executives, senior and mid-level managers, new managers, aspiring leaders, elected officials and their teams, to cultivate innovative strategies and achieve transformative growth. We are your leadership development partner.

Leadership is at a crossroads, and so are you. If your organization has untapped leadership potential or if previous efforts to enhance leadership haven't succeeded, our programs could be the strategic investment you've been searching for.

Based on the best-selling leadership model C.H.A.I.R. Leadership that has been featured in Times Squares, Forbes, and Apple News (just to name a few), I created the 21st Century Leadership Institute to sculpt and shape future ready leaders, teams, and organizations.

Leadership Experiences

Your organizational culture is written in your leadership decisions.

You already know this. Leadership cultivation demands precision, not prescription.

That’s precisely why our programs are meticulously designed to be fully customizable for each level of your organization: individual contributors, emerging leaders, mid-level managers, and top executives.  Our tailored approach ensures that each individual, each team, and each organization receives the precise tools, knowledge, and guidance needed to unlock their full leadership potential.

Our comprehensive leadership programs strengthen organizational performance by building consistent leadership practices across all levels and departments.
 We partner closely with organizations to align development initiatives with strategic objectives, ensuring measurable impact on business outcomes.

Through targeted assessments, hands-on practice, and expert coaching, we empower individuals to overcome specific challenges and accelerate their professional growth.

Customizable Leadership Development

We understand that a one-size-fits-all approach doesn’t work for leadership development. Our programs are meticulously designed to be customizable for each level of your organization—individual contributors, emerging leaders, mid-level managers, and top executives. This tailored approach ensures each individual receives the precise tools, knowledge, and guidance needed to unlock their full leadership potential. We don’t just create leaders; we sculpt the backbone of future-ready organizations, aligning personal growth with corporate objectives.

Cicely Simpson offers a unique and fresh approach to the major issues facing corporate and political America today. Her presentations combine a warmth for her audience with a personal charisma that captivates audiences with her honest and relatable stories of overcoming racial and gender barriers through principle centered decisions. Cicely's insights into servant leadership, building trust and forging open and honest communication resonate with aspiring professionals of every age -- and show that things can be done right even in the highest levels of Washington politics and the board rooms of some of America's most successful corporations. Cicely will leave you longing for more and will empower individuals to reinvest in making things better right where they are!

It is rare when you meet someone with incredible experience, composure, wisdom, humor and kindness, but Cicely is all of those things and more. Cicely has become a coach, mentor and friend to me. Our relationship started when she was a guest on my podcast twice and I was on hers twice. We found a fast friendship and a kinship in our desire to change the working world for the better. I've watched Cicely instill confidence in the leaders she coaches. She built an incredible community to help people and does it all with a level head and grace. She could have 100 things going on but you'd never know it as she makes you feel like you are the only person in the room. I'd recommend Cicely to anyone looking for a coach, a great podcast, a thoughtful and excellent book or a speaker to help your team be their best.
