Invisible Workload
Systems and structures often shape outcomes in ways that remain hidden from view.
Leadership Cohorts 2026 • Enrollment OpenLeadership gets heavy when the system is unclear.
ZIAversity is leadership education built for modern organizational reality: pressure, ambiguity, hybrid teams, and the emotional load leaders carry. We provide the frameworks to help you lead with clarity in a world of complexity.
Inside the Thinking Behind ZIAversity
Through a recent podcast conversation, Jonathan explores the mindset, structure, and learning philosophy that shape how ZIAversity supports leaders.
You're not failing. You're leading inside complexity.
Emotional Reactivity
High-pressure environments cause stress to move through teams, often leading to burnout.
Decision Friction
Lack of role clarity and decision rights creates bottlenecks and erodes accountability.
Leadership Isolation
The burden of "performing certainty" prevents honest diagnosis of organizational issues.
Education that feels like ZIA: psychologically grounded and usable.
ZIAversity is the educational spine of our ecosystem. It is not a series of generic tactics or scripts; it is a deep dive into how people actually behave at work. Grounded in psychological and organizational research, our program examines four core forces to give you a coherent point of view on leadership.
Authority
How leadership is held, challenged, or avoided in your organization.
Roles
How clarity (or lack of it) shapes performance and accountability.
Stress
How pressure narrows thinking and behavior across your team.
Decision-Making
How judgment shifts as stakes rise and complexity increases.

Frequently asked questions
Is this only for executives?
No. ZIAversity is designed for any leader with real responsibility for systems—from founders to team leads. If you are responsible for people and decisions, this program is built for you.
Is it self-paced or live?
It is a hybrid model. Each cohort features live, facilitated sessions with Jonathan for deep discussion and real-time learning, supported by recorded content for continued learning and reflection.
Do you help with execution?
Yes. Many leaders pair ZIAversity with our Virtual/Hybrid Talent solution when clarity reveals the need for embedded support to implement what they have learned.
What if I miss a session?
Recorded content is available for all participants. However, the live cohort experience is designed for real-time dialogue and group learning, so attendance is encouraged.
