2026 DBA Leadership Program

Description

The DBA Leaders Program is a practical leadership development experience built for supervisors, business owners, association professionals, and manufacturer representatives. Rather than theory-heavy workshops, the program installs a repeatable leadership operating system focused on clear communication, stronger team leadership, higher accountability, better decision-making, and change adoption that actually sticks.

Each month reinforces a different pillar – foundations, influence, team leadership, emotional intelligence and bias awareness, accountability, time management, decision-making, motivation, problem solving, and strategic leadership. Participants will leave with a coherent leadership framework they can apply in any role, in any room, with any stakeholder group. By the end of the program, participants will become calm, credible, and consistent in their ability to align people, raise standards, and drive execution.

Participants will attend eleven monthly sessions held at the Dallas BA office from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., with lunch provided. Location and session dates are subject to change throughout the duration of the program. Participants will be notified in advance of any changes.
