Certification

Make It Stick. Scale It
Across Your Culture
.

Turn inspiration into real change with a proven system—giving your people the tools and language to eliminate drama for good.

You’ve seen what RBL can do. Now imagine it embedded in your onboarding, your manager training, your leadership development, and your team meetings - delivered by someone inside your organization who knows your people, your culture, and your challenges.

That’s what certification makes possible. You get the shared language to call out workplace drama, the proven models for every level to understand it, and the practical tools to consistently move beyond it. All of this at the speed and scale your organization needs, with complete support from the RBL team.

Certification is how you take that initial spark - the keynote, the podcast, the book club your team just finished - and turn it into something that lives permanently in your culture.

It’s the fastest path from inspiration to implementation. Think of it as pulling the fully completed playbook right off the shelf where everything is built and ready to go for you to be successful.



Hear it Directly From Alex

Sometimes the best way to understand what certification can do for your organization is to hear it straight from the source. Watch our CEO, Alex Dorr walk you through what the Reality-Based Certification is, who it’s for, and why it might be the most impactful investment your organization makes this year.

Who is Certification for?

The RBL Certification is built for people inside organizations who are serious about culture change and not just talking about it. It’s a great fit if you are:

  • An HR professional ready to move your organization beyond one-time workshops that don’t stick
  • A learning and development professional looking for a proven framework you can implement to both leaders and team members across your organization
  • Internal company influencers, leaders, or change champions who wants to drive meaningful transformation and mindset shifts within their organization
  • An organization that wants shared language to call out the cost of drama, shared practical tools to address it, and buttoned-up curriculum to ensure all levels across your enterprise know how to recognize and move beyond what holds teams back from success and happiness

While some organizations start with one or two certified facilitators, the most successful ones certify five or more - building a core team of champions who don’t just deliver programs, but also coach with the tools, facilitate meetings, and help the entire organization move beyond drama for good.

Certifying a group of five or more? We’ll bring the experience to you. Fill out the form below to learn about our on-site certification option.

What You Get When You’re Certified

Certification is more than a credential - it’s a complete program of engaging content your participants will love, a clear implementation plan so you know exactly where to start, ongoing support so you’re never figuring it out alone, and a community of like-minded professionals who are on the same journey. Everything you need to facilitate exceptional training to every level of your organization, from day one.

Everything You Need to Deliver the Content

All the scripts, PowerPoints, workbooks, breakout sessions, group activities, and virtual training courses are included and ready to deliver. Think of it as pulling our most proven leadership program right off the shelf and bringing it to your people. Many of our facilitators simply follow the materials and facilitate the discussion - and their participants report remarkable shifts in how they lead.

A Custom Rollout Plan That Meets Your Culture Where It’s At

Before you ever deliver your first session, you’ll work directly with the Reality-Based Leadership team to build a rollout plan designed specifically for your organization. No starting from scratch and leaving you to fend for yourself. We take out all of the guess work and ensure you aren’t using hope as your strategy.

Ongoing Support For Every Step of Your Journey

You’ll have monthly support calls with Laura Varnell, our Director of Certification Programs, so you’re never navigating this alone. Plus quarterly group calls packed with Q&A, tips for successful facilitation, and the latest RBL content and ideas directly from our CEO Alex Dorr. This exclusive time with our speakers, alone, is nearly $90,000 annually in value!

Exclusive Content & Constantly Updated Materials

As Reality-Based Leadership evolves, so does your toolkit and supporting resources.

Certified facilitators get ongoing access to exclusive videos, new facilitation activities and updated materials - so your training never gets stale.

"I participated in a 2-day Reality-Based Leadership Virtual Certification experience. As someone with 17 years of experience in training and development that knows the challenge of keeping an online presentation engaging, not only was Alex able to conduct a highly engaging experience over the course of the 2 days, he was able to facilitate mindset and behavior shifts for the 19 participants involved in the experience. If you are looking for a captivating virtual experience that teaches, transforms and moves teams to action, I highly recommend Reality-Based Leadership Certification."

Coming Soon! The Modern Leader Assessment – A Breakthrough Tool for Measuring Drama Fluency Across Your Organization

“After attending Reality-Based Certification, I realized that I was leading my team using methods based on outdated, traditional leadership doctrine that just doesn’t work in today's world. My experience at Certification brought the Reality-Based Philosophy to life and was easily the best 2 days of learning I have ever had. Bringing this back to my team, I finally feel like I have the language and mental process coaching tools to bring my team out of drama. Alex and the rest of the RBL team, I can’t thank you enough!”
