OCTOBER 15th, 2026

Tessera Building

We all have default habits that shape how we think, respond, and lead—but what if you had more choice in how you show up?
Join Doug Nathan on October 15 for Who’s Running You?, a four-hour interactive LKPI workshop that takes a deeper look at the Inner Team Dialogue framework. Through the Inner Team Assessment and guided exercises, you’ll explore the patterns influencing your leadership and learn practical ways to lead with greater intention, adaptability, and effectiveness.
Whether you’re leading a team, an organization, or simply looking to grow in how you show up as a leader, this workshop is an opportunity to better understand what’s driving you and how to take the lead.

WHERE KITSAP COMES TO LEAD
Leadership Kitsap Premier Institute (LKPI) is a professional development program offering interactive, single-day seminars and peer coaching experiences led by locally-rooted, globally-recognized leadership coaches and trainers.
No year-long commitment. No application process. Just practical, high-quality leadership training designed to educate and prepare the real people facing real challenges across Kitsap’s diverse community of businesses, nonprofits, and government agencies.
Leadership Kitsap has been developing community leaders for over 30 years through its year-long, cohort-based Signature Program. LKPI is an entirely separate program, open to everyone, no application required.
WHY THE PREMIER INSTITUTE?
“People don’t leave jobs, they leave their supervisors.”
Strong organizations are built by people who are empowered to lead, communicate, manage conflict, and bring out the best in those around them. LKPI is designed for anyone stepping into or growing within a leadership role, from new managers to executives to HR directors to nonprofit program leads.
LKPI takes the guesswork out of getting it right. We connect Kitsap employers and professionals with expert instruction that understands this community.
Enhance the skills. Enhance the results.
“This peer coaching group changed my life. I am in full support of future group and am looking to send my staff as soon as they’re available.”
Chief Jay Christian
Central Kitsap Fire & Rescue
“I highly recommend this Peer Coaching program. As a CEO, I found an instant sense of team and collaborative friendship. During the experience, my insights deepended as I learned from the shared challenges of my colleagues, my own leadership strengths and blind spots, and reframing my challenges into a more positive light.”
Monica Bernhard
CEO

“The transformation I’ve witnessed in my supervisor because of Peer Coaching is eye-opening. He has completely shifted his focus in a matter of months. Watching him reprioritize has lifted a weight off his shoulders and we can feel that, too.”
