Welcome to Grow3Leaders

Why Join Grow3Leaders?

Changing the World starts with you. Like Gandhi said, "Be the change you want to see." At TransformationFirst.Asia, we believe that change starts with letting your best come out by transforming yourself first, including the behaviors you show in the workplace. 

We created Grow3Leaders as a unique international community where you take leadership challenges, not alone but together with three colleagues you invite to form a Collab. Growing your leadership together is faster, more effective, and more fun than working alone. 

When you join, you get access to all the Leadership Challenges we create for our members. Our methods are informed by the latest scientific research and by Asia's wisdom traditions.

The Trusted Leaders Challenge

When you join now, you get to work right away on creating your leadership vision. Why is that important? Because you want to make sure that you create new possibilities in your leadership this year that go well beyond narrowly focused and short-term goals and self-limiting beliefs. You want to allow yourself to play a bigger game and make more of a difference in your work and life. 

It pays to work on your leadership vision rather than quickly setting goals like the new-year resolutions that don’t last. To start, you will learn about the Three Vision Mistakes: Goals without a Vision, Vision without a Future, and creating a Vision from the Past. Avoiding these mistakes will help you create your vision the right way, and that experience will empower you to set and achieve the goals you want for your new year and decade ahead.

In the Trusted Leaders Challenge you learn and practice to become a trusted leader in your workplace. You will earn the trust of your colleagues, the trust of your executives (which can boost your career), and, importantly, to trust yourself as you transform and grow as a leader. You will discover the power of 12 effective leadership behaviors, diving into one each month. 

The Crossgen Challenge

When you join now, if you're quick, you can still join The Crossgen Challenge to create a positive change in your workplace in only 10 weeks as a cross-generational leader, together with three colleagues you invite. Together, you discover new ways of collaborating as Crossgen Leaders, supported by a cross-generational pair of coaches: Vanh (Gen Y Millennial) and Wouter (Boomer). 

Learn hands-on with Coach Vanh and Coach Wouter how to empower Gen Z, Y, X, and Boomer colleagues in your workplace to join forces, overcome generational bias, and create better results through collaboration. 

To join, start your Grow3Leaders subscription plan at USD 33 per month. You can complete The Crossgen Challenge in three months for a total fee of just USD 99 per person. 

As a bonus, you receive immediate access to our extensive learning resources on the 12 Effective Leadership Behaviors as full members of our international Grow3Leaders community of practice. You can stay longer to take more leadership challenges with us in the community.

If you have a question message Coach Wouter on LinkedIn to get your questions answered.

More Challenges

In 2024, other leadership challenges to look forward to include: (i) driving a positive change in your workplace in less than 10 weeks; (ii) building a strong weekly leadership practice; and (iii) expanding your self-awareness in work and life. New ideas for additional challenges are generated by our members based on their priorities. 

Monthly Community Calls

Members can join our Monthly Mentoring Calls to share their experiences practicing the monthly theme. The monthly Party of Positivity serves to celebrate personal progress together. In 2024, Monthly Coaching Calls will be added to receive group coaching.  

Is Grow3Leaders a good fit for Me?

You will be a good fit if you want to grow your leadership and you are: 

1. A working professional* with a passion for changing the world, starting in your workplace.

2. Committed to developing and practicing your leadership abilities with fellow leaders. 

3. Ready to take on leadership challenges and share your experiences in our community.

* Since we started in 2019, we have supported leaders for sustainability in many sectors, including water, energy, climate action and adaptation, environmental improvement, waste management, technology, finance, education, social protection, and peacebuilding. 

What does it cost?

You can join leadership challenges in Grow3Leaders by purchasing a monthly subscription plan. Check the available plans on this page.

How much time does it take?

You will get the most benefit from your Challenge when you spend 15 minutes daily on weekdays in the Grow3Leaders platform, share your progress and lessons learned in your Collab every week, join the regular live calls, and share regular 3-min Collab videos on what you have learned together. Assignments help you to practice what you are learning together.

What should I do to join? 

Invite three colleagues from your workplace (business, organization, or project) to form a Collab together. Then purchase a plan and join the Challenge you like. For tips on how to invite 3 colleagues, watch the video at the bottom of this page. Check for available plans.

Who are the organizers?

Grow3Leaders was created by Coach Wouter, leadership coach and founder of TransformationFirst.Asia, his thought leaders practice in Singapore. He coaches teams of leaders through transitions and has helped clients from 129 countries across 5 continents. See his LinkedIn profile and you're welcome to connect with him. Several Collab Leaders who have completed an earlier challenge are volunteering to work with Coach Wouter as Mentors.

Our earlier results

Since we started Grow3Leaders four years ago, more than 150 leaders from 25 countries have stretched themselves to practice effective leadership behaviors in their work. The majority have successfully completed the Grow3Leaders Challenge to influence a positive change in their workplace in just six to eight weeks. Others are now working on the LEADyear 2023 Challenge to become trusted leaders.

Digital credential badges

Graduates who make it to the finish of a challenge will earn a digital badge to show your achievement and the investment you made in your leadership growth. The credentials are issued by TransformationFirst.Asia, our thought leaders practice in Singapore.

Mentors and buddies

When you join the LEADyear 2023 Challenge, you can get support from—and be challenged by—mentors who are graduates from earlier challenges and have chosen to volunteer as mentors to grow more leaders, guided by Coach Wouter. You can also buddy up with fellow leaders from other Collabs.

How to invite 3 colleagues? 

In the Grow3Leaders, you become a Collab Leader when you invite three colleagues from your workplace to form a Collab with you. If that feels like a challenge for you, you can watch how Coach Wouter unpacks and explains the process of inviting three colleagues in this 16-minute reflection. While he referred to forming a Collab for the Grow3Leaders Challenge, your process of inviting three colleagues is similar in the LEADyear and Crossgen Challenges.
