Our Purpose

Growing companies are unsung heroes - they provide jobs and boost the economy. And yet, the resources available to their leadership are scattered and narrowly available. We are changing that. 

By combining the benefits of learning, coaching, and application into a robust learning experience, we give leaders like you the surest pathway to evolve your company and yourself.

But that's not enough.

Our BHAG is to scale impact and reduce drama for 10 million leaders by 2040. 

We support growth for executives and their companies

It's lonely at the top. We're not going to just sit back and let you lead the charge for your company alone. Executive leaders perform best when given the resources that provide training and support.

Alignment

It takes the alignment of an entire team to build a company

This cannot be expressed enough. Success is an ecosystem of team knowledge.

Gurus

It takes a 'village of gurus' to grow a company

Everyone is an expert in his or her own way. Specialized employee development equals company development.

Hybrid model

The hybrid model of education is the most powerful

Hybrid models of education provide the skills and knowledge training that you need now in a way that is customizable to your bottom lines.

No amateurs

No time for amateur hour, only the best

Weak links... enough said.

Principles and metrics

Sound principles, metrics for success and limitless ingenuity

Our core beliefs are built upon sound principles, measurable successes and the limitless ingenuity of the learning mind.

Partnerships

Our brand is built through partnerships with top companies and thought leaders

Our brand is strong because of this, and we are growing. Just wait and see who we bring you next!

Meet Our Core Values

We're all lifelong learners here. With these values guiding the way, we can continue to grow and not lose the core of what motivates our people to show up and invest in their growth everyday.

How We Got Here

 

Daniel Marcos hard at work

Growth Institute came out of a cycle of entrepreneurship.

Since his mid-twenties, Daniel Marcos has gone through the highs and lows of being a serial entrepreneur. He co-founded and sold a few companies - and lost one to the recession.

Eventually, Daniel decided to get his MBA, and then become a business coach for several years. 

From these experiences, Daniel learned a valuable lesson.

No one teaches you how to be a CEO.

He was a capable executive. But he also sought help from a combination of experts, supporting peers, hired coaches, and his own voracious desire for learning. There was really never a central authority on all things business growth.

Together with his partner and mentor, Verne Harnish, Daniel decided to create that authority. That's how they co-founded Growth Institute.

Today, we are proud to provide the most applicable executive training in the market - at a fraction of the cost that you would find it elsewhere.
