We build Flawless Leaders
Next generation leadership for the high speed digital era.
Flawless Leaders Transform Intention Into Impact
You’re a driven leader navigating a fast-paced, information-saturated, and hyperconnected digital world. You care deeply about your team, your vision, your mission, and your results. But despite your best intentions, you often find yourself overwhelmed, unsure if you’re truly making the impact you set out to create.
Today’s Business Landscape Demands a New Kind of Leader: one who can cut through complexity, respond at the speed of data, and drive teams toward results in a human-centric way. Here’s how high-impact leaders, developed through Afterburner’s training, can transform organizations.
Outcome-Focused Mindset: Leaders and teams are often pulled in multiple directions, overwhelmed by tasks and meetings that distract from achieving real results. This “busy but unproductive” cycle drains organizational resources and slows momentum.
Situational Awareness for Informed Action: Rapidly shifting market conditions and internal dynamics can leave leaders and teams blindsided, leading to delayed decisions or actions that miss the mark.
Transforming Data into Actionable Wisdom: The digital age bombards leaders with massive amounts of data, leading to “paralysis by analysis,” where information overload hinders timely decision-making.
Empowering Teams for Autonomous Impact: The traditional command-and-control leadership model doesn’t scale well in a world that demands speed and agility, leading to bottlenecks and delays in decision-making.
Human-Centric Approach to Next-Generation Leadership: The rapid adoption of technology can create a sense of detachment, where leaders focus on metrics over people, leading to disengaged teams and lower performance.
We are your
Wingman
We don’t teach leadership. We do it. For 30 years, Afterburner has been the trusted wingman for the world’s biggest companies (sometimes smallest companies) and sporting teams. Our goal is to help organizations build growth-minded leaders who deliver results fast. Fighter pilot fast. We do this by focusing on the core leadership principles, which we call the 3 Ms: Mindset, Methods, and Moments.
We know it doesn’t matter what your business is. You’re in the people business. Even in the digital era, companies still rely on people to lead and drive business results. Our team of fighter pilots has exceptional leadership experience in the cockpit, in combat, and in business.
Our methods embrace fighter pilot DNA. It’s built for high-speed, information-saturated environments where laser-focused leaders make great decisions and drive results. That’s a given. More importantly, our mindset, methods, and moments are embraced by millions of leaders worldwide, ensuring they remain calm and insightful and one step ahead of disruption.

Impactful Keynotes
Transform Overwhelmed Leaders and their Struggling Teams into High-Performing Units
Executives want insightful, situationally aware leaders who can drive teams and innately turn analytics and data into action at speed. A high-impact leader brings a human-centric approach to next-generation leadership, a generation that brings humans and technology together like never before. These leaders turn information into wisdom and bring clarity to their teams to get the hard things done on time and on target.
Step into the Cockpit and Start Your Engine
The DNA of our Flawless Execution (FLEX) process is the method used to turn the dreams of young men and women into the reality of flying fighter jets. It’s a simple four step process that defines your intentions, radically improves your communication, allows you to prioritize and focus to get the right things done at the right time, and most powerfully, introduce you to debriefing, the powerful iterative cognitive model that transforms busy-ness into business. We call it:
- Plan
- Brief
- Execute
- Debrief
