The problem it solves
It addresses the gap in effective leadership training by combining strategic thinking with emotional intelligence and charisma development.
How it makes money
Tuition-based model for courses, workshops, and ongoing training programs for businesses and individuals.
Skills you need
Leadership training, curriculum development, public speaking, and knowledge of historical leadership case studies.
The market, and why this works now
LinkedIn Learning's expansion into leadership training provides a viable platform for launching a Strategic Leadership Development Program. The first revenue move could involve offering introductory workshops through Eventbrite, targeting professionals seeking to enhance their leadership skills. A potential constraint in the first 12 months is the high customer acquisition cost due to the need for targeted digital marketing campaigns to effectively reach the desired audience.
