It takes a village of gurus to help companies scale up. 

We are building that village here. 

 

 

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.

gi about us daniel fernanda smiles

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! 

How we got here

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.

gi about us verne daniel salim selfie

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. 

conference about gi leaders

I seriously believe that you can't be an entrepreneur without a program like this. This is learning on your feet. It's learning as you need it. And it's learning as stuff comes up. 

-Shannon Susko, CEO Coach/Advisor, Metronome United

How our programs work 

Our programs are designed to give you an immediate ROI for your learning. Instead of passively taking in new lessons, you implement as you learn to ensure your company benefits directly.

The program accomplishes this through these four stages. 

 

 

Direct Learning From the Experts

Through concise video seminars, you learn directly from the thought leaders who have mastered the methodologies of scaling. Passing their protocols onto you is literally their job. The learning is direct and immediately applicable, because you learn the lesson directly from its creator.

EXO ENG Q3 - Session 08 - September 5, 2018_1

Live Sessions With Expert Coaches

Now that you've learned the methodology, it gets drilled into your brain by an expert business coach. Through live, coach-led group sessions, you go over what you've learned, clear up any questions, and plan out the exact step you'll take to implement it.

Tools To Guide Your Implementation

Tools created by the thought leaders enable you to implement the methodologies into your company. This ensures that the time invested in learning directly benefits your business. You won't feel lost, because the tools provide the blueprint for how you'll implement your lessons.

Mastermind Sessions With Your Peers 

Finally, you bring it all together with your peers - fellow business leaders learning and implementing the same concepts alongside you. The more you can collaborate with the people at your level, the more accelerated your learning. Through these sessions you get feedback and compare your progress to other executives. 

Read What Our Students Have to Say

Wes Garner
CEO of GLC Minerals

Without a doubt, the course has paid for itself a hundred times already. The delivery is world class and the virtual classroom uniquely creates a deeper level of understanding

Kevin Allen
Founding Director of African Crowdfunding Association

If you're running a company that is large enough that is has a board then I would suggest that you as the CEO - as well as one or two influential board members - actually do the course. Because in the decision-making arena of your company you need to have people who understand the shift that is happening and what is required to remain relevant

Theresa LaBranche
Executive Director at Allure

When we started the program, we were about 20 million. Last year, we doubled. There is no doubt in my mind that our increased knowledge has impacted the growth of the company

Glenice Riley
COO of FAB Group

It actually empowers people throughout the organization to make a judgement call about the things that come up every day
