Set Your Direction and Advance Your Business

The Course for Presidents® sets you on the pathway to the next-best version of your business. You’ll join forces with your Aileron partners and get an introduction to Aileron’s DOC System through a series of interactive learning sessions with peers and one-on-one time with a Business Advisor. On your professional management journey, you’ll develop a plan for where you want your business to be and how you’ll get there. You’ll come back together with other Course for Presidents graduates in the Presidents Community of Practice, a private professional development group for presidents installing the DOC System.
