Next: 1-Day Focus on Self · Monday, October 26 · Live online, 9 AM to 3 PM PT
Leading at the edge of change.
Practical leadership development that starts with you, strengthens the team, and drives the work that matters.
Where leadership begins
Every leader has an origin story.
Long before most of us held a title, we were already experiencing leadership—in people who created spaces where others could belong, contribute, and grow.
Treeline begins with those experiences. It helps you understand how you lead now, then build a practice that is intentional, sustainable, and useful on Monday morning.
The work starts with reflection and grows in action.
Focus your growth.
Three places leadership grows.
A simple approach for developing the whole leader—not isolated techniques or another theory to memorize.
02
Developing others
Strengthen your ability to support, engage, and empower team members, colleagues, and communities.
03
Advancing priorities
Identify, advance, and achieve the goals, initiatives, and outcomes that matter most.
Leading within an ecosystem
Your leadership reaches beyond your role.
Every leader works inside a network of relationships, priorities, systems, and communities. Your choices shape more than your own team; they affect the health of everything around you.
Leadership is rarely a solo journey.

Program shape
Built for the way people learn.
Start with yourself, then extend to your team and beyond. Each format builds on the last — deepening the same framework, not repeating it.
1-Day: Self
A focused day building self-awareness, confidence, and the capacity to lead with intention — the foundation every other format builds on.
3-Day: Self + Others
Extends the 1-day work focusing on developing others, and building trust and alignment within your team.
5-Day: Self + Others + Organization
Adds systems, strategy, and a commitment — connecting individual practice to lasting organizational impact.
How to participate: We offer 1, 3, and 5-day options. Complete your journey with our multi-week cohort program, launching January 2027.

Who's behind Treeline
Leadership that delivers.
We're Kim and Mike, co-founders of Treeline. We bring more than 30 years of hands-on leadership experience to work that is creative, practical and built for the real world.
We're not traditional consultants or coaches. We're practitioners who understand that leadership happens in the messy middle—when priorities shift, teams struggle, relationships get complicated and tested, and the work still needs to get done.
Treeline creates experiential, peer-driven learning where leaders step out of their silos, learn from each other, build self-awareness and develop practical tools they can put to work right away.
Because great leadership isn't about knowing more. It's about putting what you know into practice.
Our focus is simple:
Know yourself. Grow your people. Move the work that matters forward.
