The
Integrated
Leader
A 3-Month
Leadership Experience
for Black Men Executives
with Didier Sylvain and Ty Cutner
Jan. 29–Feb. 1, 2026
Catskills / Hudson Valley
+ Virtual Sessions
At the summit, what remains?
You’ve climbed. You’ve delivered.
You’ve proven yourself in spaces that weren’t always built for you.
And yet, at the top, the pressures only multiply.
Relentless performance demands that never let up.
Isolation in boardrooms and networks where few look like you.
Family trade-offs—time missed, presence sacrificed.
Fragmentation between who you are, how you lead, and what you long for.
Burnout creeping in—the silent cost of carrying so much for so long.
For many Black men in executive leadership, success comes with fragmentation: the outward appearance of control masking an inner erosion of clarity, energy, and wholeness.
The Integrated Leader
was created for this reality.
What Is the Integrated Leader?
The Integrated Leader is about uniting who you are across every domain of your life — work, family, and spirit — so your leadership feels whole, effective, and grounded.
Over the course of this 3-month journey, you will:
Understand your behaviors under stress and the competing values that drive them.
Define and embody your leadership identity — your vision, purpose, voice, and unique gifts.
Translate insight into action through an actionable growth plan that addresses key leadership challenges and opportunities.
Strengthen communication and feedback practices that deepen trust and relationships that matter most.
Map your ecosystem of stakeholders across work and life, and design an intentional mobilization strategy with clear priorities.
Establish daily, weekly, and monthly practices and rituals that keep you grounded, energized, and aligned.
This is not another conference.
It is not a quick motivational weekend.
It is a 3-month leadership journey that begins with a four-day retreat January 29-February 1, 2026 and continues with virtual integration sessions and 1:1 coaching support.
The retreat gives you the breakthrough.
The virtual sessions and coaching anchor the transformation into your everyday life.
What You’ll Experience
— and Carry Forward
This program exists so you can:
Set down the weight of isolation and performance to reconnect with authenticity and presence.
Reclaim wholeness through the Adaptive Leadership methodology and Internal Family Systems (IFS)–informed practices that integrate every part of self.
Strengthen authentic brotherhood with peers who understand the unique pressures of leadership.
Renew your vision and integrity for the next chapter of your leadership journey.
Anchor daily and embodied practices that sustain clarity, courage, and grounded action.
Lead across every domain of life—boardroom, home, and community—as one integrated self.

Who This Is For
Black men who lead — in executive roles, entrepreneurship, or in their communities — and are ready to expand into their next chapter with support and intention.
Men who carry a lot — teams, expectations, family, legacy — and are looking for a space where they don’t have to perform or armor up.
Leaders who sense they’re approaching a threshold and want clarity, grounded courage, and space to breathe again.
Men who want renewal in their leadership, deeper connection to themselves, their families, and a circle of brothers that support their vision.
Why Now?
The demands are not slowing down.
In 2026, the stakes for Black leadership in business, philanthropy, and culture are higher than ever.
Leading with power requires spaces to restore, not extract. Spaces free of performance. Spaces that return you to yourself.
This is that space.
