Full Program Details
The altMBA is an intensive, 4-week online workshop designed by Seth Godin for high-performing individuals who want to level up and lead.
Enabling Leaders To Create Change
Reaching The Next Level
Reaching the next level of leadership requires a shift in posture, in decision-making, and, most of all, in choosing to be a linchpin.
Without guidance, this process can take years of trial-and-error. The altMBA accelerates this personal and professional transformation by providing a deep view of leadership, organizations, and change.
Discover your own potential. Level up.

And you'll do so alongside a cohort of brilliant, motivated ruckus-makers who will challenge and inspire you to produce your best work."
