Excel-in-Essentials
From Emerging Leader to Confident Executive — in Just 10 Weeks
A proven leadership development program for emerging leaders ready to build clarity, confidence, and connection — without overwhelm.
Wayne loves working with young executive talents
Throughout his 45-year career, Wayne’s been blessed with the opportunity to travel the world and work with companies in varying industries. He has met incredible people from many cultures and while working hands-on on projects of varying shapes and sizes, a common theme emerged.
Wayne believes that talented people exist everywhere and yet they do not all have equal opportunity to develop and grow to realize their full potential regardless of whether that is in leadership, or another chosen area.
And that has become Wayne’s and C4C’s mission – to serve and support talented people and to create as much impact as possible.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who is this program for?
Excel-in-Essentials is designed for new leaders with 1, 2 or 3 years of experience, including:
- First-time team leads or managers
- Project coordinators stepping into leadership roles
- High-potential individual contributors preparing for promotion
- Anyone who wants to build confidence, credibility, and connection in their leadership style
Whether you’re leading a small team, managing cross-functional projects, or transitioning from an individual contributor role — this program will give you the tools and support you need to lead with clarity and purpose.
Do I need prior leadership experience to join?
No! This program was created specifically for emerging leaders — those who are either new to leadership or preparing to step into their first leadership role.
You don’t need to be a seasoned manager to benefit. In fact, this is the perfect time to invest in your growth — before habits and patterns become ingrained.
If you’re excited about learning how to lead people (not just manage tasks), you’ll fit right in.
How much time does it take each week?
The program is designed to be practical, not overwhelming.
Here’s what to expect weekly:
- 1 x Instruction Video and Supporting LMS lesson: 30 minutes
- 1 x Workbook Theory & Exercises: 60-120 minutes
- 1 x Live Group Coaching Call: 60 minutes
- Reflection + Action Steps: 20–30 minutes
Total weekly commitment: around 3–4 hours
We know you’re still doing your day job — so everything is structured to be efficient, flexible, and immediately applicable.
And if you miss a live coaching call, recordings and notes are always available inside the LMS
Can I join if I’m not a manager yet?
Yes — and we actually encourage it!
Many participants join just before or just after being promoted , making this the ideal time to learn foundational leadership skills while they’re most relevant.
If you’re on a leadership track, part of a leadership development program, or planning to move into a team lead role soon — this is the perfect opportunity to get ahead and start strong.
What if I can’t attend all the live calls?
That’s totally fine.
All live group coaching calls are recorded and posted within 24 hours. You’ll also receive a summary email with key takeaways and action steps.
While we highly recommend attending live for the best experience (and real-time Q&A), you can watch replays at your convenience.
Bonus: You’ll still have access to the community and can submit questions in advance.
Is there a payment plan or refund policy?
Yes — we want to make this accessible and risk-free.
We offer:
- Flexible Payment Options: Pay in full (US$2979) or choose a 3-month payment plan of (US$997) each month.
- 30-Day, 100% Satisfaction Guarantee: If you complete the first three modules and don’t feel like you’ve gained value, we’ll refund your investment — no questions asked
Your growth matters more than the cost — and we stand by that.
You were promoted because someone saw your potential. Now it’s time to realize it — one skill at a time
