Empowering leaders to accelerate
their skills and make their teams
creative, compassionate, and effective
B. Cognition Labs developed the LEAP leadership course and coaching program to empower higher-ed library and IT leaders to grow, gain confidence, and learn leadership skills that STICK.
B. Cognition Labs is partnering with the Oberlin Group of Libraries in Spring 2025 to provide a fully online Leadership Empowerment and Acceleration Program (LEAP) program. We partnered with NERCOMP in Fall 2024 to present LEAP to IT leaders in Higher Ed, in an exciting, empowering hybrid course that encouraged participants to approach leadership as a set of contextual behaviors that empower them and the people around them.
Our first cohort completed the course in January 2025.
Our second cohort began the course in January 2025.​​
ALUMNI VOICES
LEAP: LEADERSHIP EMPOWERMENT & ACCELERATION PROGRAM
B.Cognition Labs teaches LEAP, a customizable independent leadership development course that includes individual coaching to help mid- and high-level leaders move past their fears to grown and thrive. We help leaders shift from leadership as an individual to leadership as a contextual and social act of empowering, enabling, and adapting.
We look at leadership and adult development holistically and with empathy, to help leaders develop their skills and create an organization that values human beings, not just efficient processes.

B. COGNITION
Most of the time, people evaluate situations in a quick, analytical way. Psychologist Abraham Maslow studied people who seemed sophisticated and advanced in their humanity.
He believed these people had a way of knowing things in a different way, which he called B-Cognition, which encompasses empathy, and radiates love, joy, contentedness, and acceptance.
