ZIAversity – Where Leadership Excellence Meets Practical Application

What if you could master leadership skills in just 10 weeks that most professionals spend years learning through trial and error?

The gap between technical expertise and leadership effectiveness is the silent growth killer in organizations across every industry. You’ve seen it happen: your best performer gets promoted to leadership, only to struggle with team dynamics, strategic thinking, and the human complexities of management.

At ZIA, we’ve worked with hundreds of organizations facing this exact challenge. That’s why we created ZIAversity—a science-backed leadership development program designed specifically for professionals ready to transform from individual contributors to exceptional leaders.

The Leadership Development Crisis

Most professionals are thrust into leadership roles with zero formal training. The result? Organizations suffer from:

• High Leadership Turnover: 40% of new managers fail within their first 18 months.
• Team Disengagement: Poor leadership is the #1 reason employees leave organizations.
• Operational Inefficiency: Teams without strong leadership perform 23% below their potential.
• Cultural Deterioration: Leadership gaps create toxic workplace dynamics that spread throughout organizations.

Meet Your Leadership Transformation Guide

ZIAversity is led by Taylor Holsinger, Ph.D. (C), who brings extensive experience in Industrial/Organizational Development and six years of curriculum design and implementation. This isn’t generic business training adapted for leaders—it’s a science-backed leadership development program built from the ground up.

Taylor’s approach integrates behavioral science with real-world application, creating what we call “Leadership Multipliers”—leaders who don’t just manage teams, but elevate entire organizations.
