Personify Leadership
Leaders are not built in a day, and neither was Personify Leadership. Decades of experience of working with leaders and teams lead to the creation of this program. It’s unique and highly engaging, and past participants cannot stop raving about their experience.
The concept of Personify Leadership occurred during an experiential leadership program, where co-founders Michelle Cummings and Angela Sebaly were co-leading a leadership hike for a team in Jackson Hole, WY. Their conversation quickly turned into a full two-day curriculum, which was piloted with a number of Fortune 500 companies in 2012. They realized that they had something special, and decided to launch Personify Leadership as it is known today. They grew the company together for ten years and Angela stepped down as CEO in August of 2022. Michelle and her team continue to build and grow Personify Leadership programs and leaders today, with a goal of influencing one million leaders in the next 1o years.

What others say about us
I have to say WOW! The Personify Leadership program was amazing. I cannot believe how much I learned in two days and I want MORE!
In the 10 years I have been teaching leadership at United Airlines, the Personify Leadership class is by far the best class we offer, it is so well rounded. Our participants are so engaged, they love it. It is spreading like wildfire and we can hardly keep up with the demand. I would highly recommend the Personify Leadership course. We offer this class to all levels of leadership, from the top down and leaders at all levels tell us how applicable the content is. I cannot say it enough, we love Personify Leadership.
