Our Methodology

Transforming
Leadership Through Proven Habits

Raise The Bar’s methodology combines cutting-edge science with real-world practice to help leaders build lasting habits that drive meaningful, sustained change.

We’re not a training company.
We’re a habit formation company.

At Raise The Bar, we don’t believe that knowledge alone leads to change. Helping leaders become great isn’t about a one-day workshop or a quick online course—it’s about building habits that stick.

From executives to first-time managers, we help leaders develop the behaviors and mindsets of high-performing teams through a powerful blend of training, coaching, and real-world practice. Because real leadership growth happens over time, with deliberate effort, support, and repetition.

Leader ascending steps

Why habit formation matters.

Great leadership isn’t built in a day. It’s built through small, repeated actions—like listening with intention, giving feedback that lands, or creating psychological safety in meetings. Every time a leader practices a new skill, they begin to rewire their brain and strengthen a new neural pathway.

Research shows it takes multiple repetitions to form a habit. Just like going to the gym, the more you practice, the easier it becomes. One session can spark awareness—but it takes consistent, intentional practice to turn that spark into a habit that lasts.

Leaders who go through one of our leadership programs see an average 18% increase in their confidence to lead their teams from the start to the finish of the program—proof that repeated practice builds measurable growth.

Change behavior, change the culture.

Organizational transformation begins when individual leaders start behaving differently. In fact, 95% of leaders report being more intentional in their leadership as a result of participating in our programs, and teams see a 45% increase in company eNPS scores—a strong indicator of improved engagement and culture.

That’s why we focus on the daily habits that define successful leadership—because the future of your culture is shaped by the leaders driving it. At Raise The Bar, we help leaders not just learn what to do—but build the habits that empower them to actually do it.

Learn, apply, reflect methodology

A model that actually works.

We’ve combined insights from neuroscience, behavioral economics, human motivation, and positive psychology, along with our experience working with over 10,000 leaders, to create a proven model for habit development:

“Coach Lauren helped us really define what our company values are.

Every decision, every employee that we hire must align with those values. We talk about our values as a team every week. I didn’t initially understand how those values would even inform operation and financial decisions like they do. Those values drive everything.”
