Symbio Leadership Intensive

The next step to your growth - achieve personal mastery and hone leadership skills to exponentially expand your impact

This invitation-only program is the path to leadership at Symbio, exclusively available to Partners of the company. Graduates of the residency program are considered eligible upon approval and inclusion as a Partner.

Successful completion of the Leadership Intensive results in a team of your own to lead and grow alongside. You will have the skills to lead others, to build your own location of dedicated providers who are passionate about this as you are. This is your chance to create and inspire, to give back what has been given to you. You’ve been led and inspired to grow - soon it will be your chance to lead and inspire.

Year 1 of the program includes 40 individual coaching meetings with our Founder and CEO, Dr. Chad Woodard. A business owner since 2009, a student of some of the best minds and movers on this planet, and a passionate coach, Dr. Chad will obsessively devote himself to pushing you to the best version of yourself you never really knew about. This first year is all about you: your own self-beliefs, your habits that serve and those that can be released, your outlook on life, what you think you are capable of. Extensive time will be spent discovering how you can fortify and bulletproof your own 4-foundational pillars of health: physical health, mental health, spirituality, and emotional health. 80% of a team or company’s success is directly dependent on the mindset and outlook of it’s leader. This program pushes you, not so gently, to become the person you say you want to be.

Upon completion of year 1, this developed badass of personal and professional mastery will now take someone under their wing. Under mentorship and guidance, you will take on a resident and push/pull/support/celebrate them through their 2-year residency. During these 2 years you will meet each month with Dr. Chad to discuss your leadership development, communication skills, empowerment strategies, conflict resolution, relationship development, and sometimes, how to navigate the crippling fear of the responsibilities you have assumed.

A personal note from Dr. Chad:

I can’t tell you how many times since 2009 I have had a PT student tell me enthusiastically that they plan to open their own clinic. I feel thrilled for them and their passion - I also want to lay them down on something soft/comfortable and explain what a crazy damn thing they just said and how they can’t possibly know what shitstorm lies ahead. Leadership and ownership of a company can be deliciously rewarding and a deep source of pride and accomplishment. It can also be the worst thing people do to themselves. I was once in a room of about 200 people, all part of a mastermind of one of the most successful coaches and businesspeople on this Earth. This person asked us a question: “how many of you in here, if you are to be bluntly honest and vulnerable, hate your business?” I was shocked to see a majority of the hands in the room raised. These were the best, the most successful. The price tag to even be in the room was $20,000. And most of them hated their business and their position. What a profound moment of learning for me… And if I continue being a bit overly transparent, my hand was right up there with the others. I hated my company and I had to learn a better way. I did learn, and now I’d like to teach you.

You deserve better than that. You deserve to have the mentorship and learning to be able to lead a company and a team with joy and fulfillment. You deserve to wake up with that crazy ass look in your eyes because you can’t wait to go do what you get to do. You deserve the experience the crushing feeling of pride when you see someone you mentored through their early years spread their wings and learn to soar - become leaders themselves.

Should you have interest in this program and are approaching eligibility, there is a strong chance you already know about it. Do this only when you’re ready, only when you’re ready to face yourself and overcome the bullshit lies you’ve been told and have believed.

This is an intensive dive together requiring time, trust, dedication, and an openness to try things that are uncomfortable. For this, only one person per year can be accepted.

The scariest thing we ever do is navigate our ship directly into the eye of a storm - to face it head on. And yet, the most beautiful outcome you didn’t even know was possible is nearly always on the other side of that storm. Where will you steer? What will you achieve?
