A session ends. Everyone nods. Two weeks later, nothing has changed. The Vanguard Model exists because training was never meant to be something you sit through — it's a proving ground that turns learning into capability, and capability into results you can measure.
Everything here runs on that same method: teach it, apply it immediately, and prove it moved a number.
Start with the free one. Beyond it, four paid tracks and the books: DRIVE is what leaders do, the Vanguard Model is how they learn it, Speaking With Purpose is how they say it.
Six free modules on the leadership traits that decide whether people follow you or just tolerate you — communication, integrity, emotional control, developing people, example, and accountability.
Three online courses on the DRIVE Leadership Framework™ — frontline supervisor, operational manager, and executive. Built from combat leadership and thirty-six years of corporate operations.
Three certification levels in the Vanguard Model — Certified Trainer, Certified Facilitator, and Master Trainer. Certified on demonstrated capability, not attendance.
Speaking With Purpose™ — six modules on confidence, clarity, and articulation under pressure. Every module ends in a live performance, with no notes and no warning.
Two six-module courses for young leaders. Learn with a group through the Vanguard Model and companion student workbooks, or build a personal leadership portfolio in the self-paced DRIVE Young Leaders Academy.
Three motivational books and three e-books by Rene' Henri Criswell, all finished — Drive On, Welcome to the Real World, Moving Forward, The DRIVE Leadership Framework, The Vanguard Model, Leadership in Motion.
The courses are the beginning. Live workshops, consulting, and full certification are in development — tell us which one you're waiting on and we'll come find you when it's ready.
The leadership course delivered in person or virtually, to your team, in a single day — with the room, the questions, and the accountability that only live delivery gives you.
Onboarding, leadership pipelines, and certification systems rebuilt from the ground up — for organizations that need training to produce a number their CFO reads.
The credential for practitioners: learn the methodology, earn the certification, and license the system to deliver it inside your own organization.
A revolutionary capability development system that transforms training into measurable performance and develops leaders who achieve mastery.
Rene' Henri Criswell built the Vanguard Model after years of watching good training fail to change behavior. The method is the hero of this site — Rene' is where the road leads.
