Welcome Back! Retooled – Reimagined – Rejuvenated

After a pause to retool and reimagine our purpose, we’re thrilled to return and welcome you back to our newly renamed audiocast, “Beyond The Class: From Knowledge To Action.” The overwhelming support during our hiatus—with listenership continuing to grow, has deeply humbled us and reinforced that our message resonates with leaders seeking meaningful change.

Bob Chapman, chairman and founder of the Chapman Foundation, believes business can be the most powerful force for good when leaders develop the skills and courage to care. We’re creating a space where Chapman Foundation alumni and partners can take the knowledge gained in our classrooms and convert it into intentional, meaningful action in their organizations and communities. Our purpose remains steadfast: helping you sustain growth, deepen connections, and drive development that truly matters in today’s leadership landscape.

What awaits you in upcoming episodes? Expect immediately applicable tools to sharpen your listening skills, build trust, and empower your leadership capabilities. You’ll hear from fellow alumni who’ve successfully walked this path and gain insights from the facilitators who’ve guided classroom experiences for the past 15 years.

Whether you’re tuning in for the first time or have been with us from the beginning, we invite you to join this journey from knowledge to action. Get ready for episodes filled with challenges, practical steps, and yes—even fun.

This is about growth. This is about results. This is about you. We’re grateful to have you with us as we move Beyond the Class together.
