Great teams don’t happen by accident.

What separates good teams from great ones? And what can you do as a leader to bring out the best in the people around you?

Whether on the field, in your workplace or community, great teams are built on the same foundations. Join Leadertown Labs for an immersive, hands-on leadership experience designed to help you rethink how teams are built, developed and led.

January 14, 2027 | 8am – 5pm | Fargo, ND

Drawing on decades of experience in professional sports and performance leadership, Ken Crenshaw and Zach Brandon will challenge you to examine what’s holding your team back, identify opportunities for improvement, and develop practical strategies for building a stronger, more effective team.
