What this path is about
Compass Rose is a private, self-guided digital leadership journey set on the open Alberta prairie, where the horizon is wide enough that you have to choose your own direction.
It is built for the leader who is capable and busy, but quietly unsure whether the way they respond under pressure is the way they actually want to lead.
Compass Rose focuses on self-leadership: the choices you make before anyone is watching, and the patterns you fall back on when a day gets hard.
Across the trail you work on recognizing the patterns shaping how you respond, understanding what steadies you and what pulls you off course, making more intentional choices, strengthening follow-through, and leading from a clearer sense of direction.
It is educational leadership development — teaching, realistic leadership situations, and reflection. It is not therapy or counselling, and it does not promise a fixed outcome.
Who this path is for
- New and emerging leaders finding their footing
- Experienced leaders who want to lead more deliberately
- Supervisors, managers and business owners
- Healthcare, education and community professionals
- Anyone who wants private, unhurried leadership reflection

How the digital experience works
Fifteen markers, walked at your pace
Compass Rose is a book you walk rather than read. The journey is organized across 15 trail markers, and each marker asks something of you before you move to the next. The markers themselves stay unopened until you reach them — the path is meant to unfold as you walk it.
A private, self-guided journey
You walk it on your own. Nothing you write is shared, graded or reviewed.
Fifteen trail markers
The path is organized across 15 markers, each one a distinct piece of the journey.
At your own pace
There is no schedule and no clock. You walk it as slowly or as steadily as you like.
Teaching, situations, reflection
Each marker combines teaching, realistic leadership situations and honest reflection.
On any device
Designed for phone, tablet or computer, wherever you actually think best.
Saved for your return
Your progress and your writing are saved, so you can leave the trail and come back.
