The LEAPS™ Program
Course Overview
LEAPS™ is our flagship program and embodies the journey of how Ei came to be. This immersive 60-Day experience guides a cohort of employees through an innovation framework designed around an interest or a company challenge. In two months, trust and community are strengthened, transferable skills are developed, and sometimes million-dollar ideas are hatched (ask us for the story!) It’s fast, sometimes messy, and often referred to as the most transformative experience of an employee’s career.
Over the course of LEAPS™, participants remain in their full-time roles but spend 5-15% of their time learning how to develop innovative, adaptive solutions to personal or company challenges. On-site workshops, video instruction, and coaching calls guide participants (either in teams or as individuals) through a process to move from idea to prototype. The experience has a dual mission: to teach participants a new way of learning and problem solving and to help them make tangible progress on a specific project.

Within a short period of time, I had a chance to make something meaningful and see real results. That felt amazing.
Our Methodology
Learn through Experience
Experiences are what change how we see ourselves and the world. People who thrive are curious, focused, have a bias towards action, and pursue ongoing learning.
Ei's methodology is rooted in the belief that the deepest learning occurs through experience. Each workshop addresses specific personal or organizational challenges and then cycles through the pillars of experiential learning.
When Brittany started working for her company, she saw a challenge. Rather than let it slide or just live with it, she took a Leap and prototyped a solution that was equal parts creative and delightful. It caught the attention of leadership and now she's working on a team to implement some of the solutions she developed as part of her Leap. Brittany's LEAPS story is just one of thousands since 2015.
