The Audaz Leadership Program was created in direct response to a growing leadership gap across corporate, nonprofit, and government sectors. Despite the rising demand for adaptive, purpose-driven leaders, most leadership training remains too narrow—focusing on a single sector and leaving professionals unprepared for the realities of cross-sector collaboration.
The data is clear: only 10% of executives believe their leadership training is effective, 68% of nonprofits struggle to find qualified leaders, and 72% of elected officials admit they weren’t adequately prepared when taking office. At the same time, younger professionals are redefining career mobility, with Gen Z averaging over two industries in three years and 21% of millennials changing jobs annually.
This movement between sectors exposes a serious gap in leadership readiness. Audaz was designed to close that gap—bridging education, mentorship, and real-world experience to develop leaders who can think boldly, adapt across systems, and shape the future of Texas.
