Leadership Garage Where Leaders Gather, Learn, and Grow Together.

CALS’s signature community leadership program. Every month, Leadership Garage brings together emerging and established leaders for an evening of inspiration, learning, and connection — featuring a keynote lecture from a successful leader, an open Q&A session, and structured networking. Once a year, Leadership Garage culminates in a two-day immersive leadership retreat, taking the community deeper into practice, reflection, and relationship-building beyond the monthly format.

Where Leaders Gather, Learn, and Grow Together

Leadership Garage is CALS’s monthly gathering for leaders who refuse to stop growing. Each session features a lecture from a leader who has walked the road — followed by open Q&A, honest conversation, and a chance to build relationships with others on the same journey.

Once a year, the community comes together for something deeper: a two-day Leadership Garage Immersion — a retreat designed to move beyond ideas into practice, reflection, and lasting relationships.

Leadership is not a lecture you attend once. It is a community you return to, again and again.
