Dove Development & Consulting newsletter banner — We're inviting a few people behind the scenes

We're Inviting a Few People Behind the Scenes with Us.

Something's coming this fall - and we want you in the room!

It's been quite a run.

Three books. Three #1 Amazon bestsellers.

And every single time, it happened because people like you showed up for us!

Not a marketing budget.

Not luck.

People.

We've got more coming - a lot more!

Wes's most personal book yet arrives in November.

Cindy's first solo book follows in February.

And that's just the start of what's ahead.

In mid-September we're going live on Facebook and LinkedIn to share the whole story - and invite some of you to be part of it in a way you haven't been before.

Mark your calendar today!

If you are the smartest person in the room - you're in the wrong room. 

The Executive Summit puts you in a room that stretches you, then resets it so you sit with people who stretch and build you even more.

After each lesson: new tables, new faces, new conversations. By 3:30 p.m. you will have worked with three different groups of owners and senior leaders - not the one table you claimed at 8:30.

On October 16, Wes and Cindy Dove will teach three lessons no public audience has heard, drawn from books still being written:

  • The Art of Responsiveness
  • The Power of Self-Talk in Leadership
  • Why Bad Situations Are Leadership’s Best Teacher

 

Friday, October 16, 2026

Shenandoah Valley Electric Coop - Mt Crawford, VA

8:30 a.m. - 3:30 p.m. *Only 100 seats 

Early Bird pricing ends September 1 at 11:59 PM ET (then $197), and includes the full day, meals, a custom playbook, last year's Values Advantage digital series, and on-demand versions of this year's lessons the day after the event.

The seat you take first is not the one that will matter most.

Laying a Foundation on Values: Simple Practices

Tune into this segment from Wes — based on Chapter 7 of The Values Advantage, “Laying a Foundation on Values: Simple Practices” — to discover how simple, consistent daily practices turn core values from statements on a wall into the living foundation of your culture—from embedding values into everyday conversations, decisions, and habits, to building lasting team trust and driving profitability through small, repeatable behaviors anyone can start today.

The simple practices each team member chooses to live (or skip) determine whether values become the foundation of the organization or just another initiative that fades.

What we practice daily is what we become known for—and what others come to trust.

Laying a Foundation on Values: Simple Practices


Building Out the Four Pillars of Leader-Level Self-Accountability

Last month I (Cindy) named the hidden costs of weak self-accountability. This month we get practical. Self-accountability is not a personality trait. It is a repeatable system — and the four pillars of Radical Ownership, Clear Reflection, Courageous Transparency, and Rapid Adjustment are how that system works in real leadership, not just in theory.

These are the same pillars I teach in the Leading at the Next Level lesson Owning Your Results: Closing the Gap Between Plan and Performance. In the full post, I build each one out with examples, language you can use, and a simple loop you can run on the next miss — a deadline, a conversation, or a number that did not land.

The Four Pillars of Leader-Level Self-Accountability


Don’t let the name fool you.

Emerging Leader Development is six lessons built for the moment a job stops being about the task and starts being about the people. Owners, CEOs, and executives take it first — then they bring their teams through it. More than 1,000 leaders already have.

That is why the onsite option matters. Your people learn the same tools, in your language, on your challenges. They leave with action from every lesson and a Certificate of Completion tied to work their manager can see.

If onsite is not the right fit yet, ask us about the digital course or a public session. Keep this in front of your team. The gap does not close by waiting.

Leading at the Next Level

 

Organizations are facing a dual crisis: thin leadership benches and a trust/hope deficit inside teams.

Whether you're a CEO navigating high-stakes decisions, a business owner scaling with purpose, or a leader with more on your plate than hours in the day, this is your hub for mentorship, actionable strategies, and real-world application.

Dive into 200 expertly crafted courses from Wes and Cindy Dove—covering everything from leading with effective communication to team mastery—and pair them with personalized mentorship to turn knowledge into lasting results.

Complete list of lessons here.

Options for Accessing this One-of-a-Kind Program.


This is not a workshop you attend once. It is a strategic process that implements and sustains new behavior — starting with how you lead yourself, then how you lead everyone else.

You are already leading — yourself, your work, and the people who look to you. IMPACT is for that.

IMPACT Leadership Academy is built for you and the company you represent. Servant leadership is the foundation. One-on-one work is how it sticks. The people around you will notice the difference.

IMPACT Leadership Academy Structure

  • Initial Intake Session to identify areas of focus and set measurable goals
  • Monthly One-on-One Strategic Leadership Coaching
  • Quarterly Group Sessions that build effective leadership and real relationships with peers
  • Report-Out to outline changed behaviors and improved profitability

Check the details and join this growing team of leaders.


Building Strong Connections

One of the best parts of being in a community is the connections you make. Whether it's collaborating on a project or simply exchanging ideas, these connections can lead to amazing opportunities. So, reach out to a fellow member today and start building those connections. Who knows where it might lead?

That's all for this week, folks! Remember, your journey with the Dove Development Community is what you make of it. So, let's make it great together.

Until next time, Cindy Dove.
