A senior US leadership and management training practice for mid-market companies. Cohort programs, embedded 1:1 coaching, and delivery that is designed to survive Monday.
Shaggy was built for a specific problem: leadership training that does not survive the room it was delivered in. Companies spend real money on offsites, retreats, and one-day workshops, and six weeks later the manager population is back where it started.
Most leadership training treats learning as content. A binder, a slide deck, a two-day intensive, a certificate. Managers walk in, absorb material, walk out, and their calendars, their 1:1s, and their decisions look exactly the same on the next Monday morning.
Shaggy is built on a different premise. Leadership shows up in habits, not in insight. A manager who runs a real 1:1 every week is a different manager. A leadership team that has a disciplined decision cadence is a different team. Our programs are structured to install those habits over weeks, with coaching wrapped around them, so that when the program ends the practice remains.
Five things, in service of one outcome. Cohort programs for new managers, established managers, and leadership teams. Embedded 1:1 coaching. Custom curriculum design for situations the stock programs do not cover. Every engagement is led by a senior trainer-consultant who has run teams and organizations, not by a junior facilitator running a slide deck they did not write.
Every program is led by a senior trainer-consultant. We do not staff junior teams to sit behind a partner name. The person your managers see on the video call is the person who designed the program, and is the person who will still be running your engagement in month six. This is deliberate. Leadership training is a trust relationship, not a delivery pipeline.
Remote-first. Live cohort sessions run over video with a fixed group of eight to twelve participants. Between sessions, every participant gets 1:1 coaching with the same senior trainer, calibrated to the situations they are actually running through at work. Application projects are tied to real teams and real decisions. Nothing about the program is theoretical.
Nationwide, across the US. We support programs and cohorts across every time zone from East Coast to West Coast. Delivery is remote-first, so client teams stay in place, cohort members log in from wherever they work, and the delivery calendar is built around the operating rhythm of the business, not around travel.
Shaggy is a training practice, not a consulting firm dressed as one. We measure ourselves by what your managers actually do differently three months, six months, and a year after the program ends. That is why every engagement includes a sustain phase and a follow-up rhythm. The training was worth the money if the practice held. Otherwise, it was not.
