Lava Leadership™ is the leadership arm of The Lava Way™
A human-centered, emotionally intelligent approach to leading under pressure. Born from lived experience, not theory, this model was forged in combat zones, crisis response rooms, and corporate boardrooms. As a Major General, I led in some of the most high-stakes environments imaginable. However, the most powerful leadership lessons came not from command but from navigating grief, burnout, trauma, and cultural change. This isn’t soft leadership, it’s sustainable, soul-tested leadership that leaves a legacy.
Lava is powerful because it transforms the ground it touches.
Tools forged in fire. Designed for real-world pressure.
