Leadership Institute
The Leadership Institute’s purpose is to help leaders influence imperfect people to accomplish extraordinary things.
At The Other Side Academy and The Other Side Village, individuals who have faced lifetimes of addiction, crime, homelessness, and mental illness are building profitable, world-class businesses with deeply devoted customers while transforming their own lives.
We want to help you accomplish similar extraordinary things in your own organization or city. The Leadership Institute

Teach business executives and organizations how to establish and maintain a culture of 200% accountability

“The Other Side Leadership Institute’s workshop on building a culture of peer accountability was both inspiring and practical. I walked away with clear, actionable insights I can immediately apply with my team that I’m confident will strengthen our performance while deepening how we connect and grow as human beings.”
– Brian Matter – Principal, Creative Capital Management Investments
“The Other Side Academy team had our 350+ leaders riveted during the entire keynote presentation; in fact, they received an immediate and unanimous standing ovation at the end! They created a live experience at our conference that stayed with us long afterward.”
– Sharlene Wells Hawkes – Senior VP of Mountain America Credit Union
“The Other Side Academy’s accountability model is transforming lives. This same principle applies to law enforcement, where accountability through clear policies, legal oversight, and transparent practices is essential. Just as TOSA fosters personal responsibility, law enforcement must do the same to build public trust, increase transparency, and strengthen community relationships. Lasting change begins with a foundation of accountability.”
– Danielle Croyle – Police Chief, South Salt Lake Police Department
“The Other Side’s principles and practices have profound relevance for any organization committed to excellence in culture, relationships, or performance. The workshop is hard-hitting, practical, and fun.”
– Matt Smith – Cascadia Healthcare
“Experiencing The Other Side Academy’s training and accountability model was eye-opening. The breakthrough groups and the concept of 200% accountability pushed me to think differently about leadership, culture, and performance. What TOSA has built is not only powerful, it’s practical—and I can clearly see how organizations that adopt this level of accountability will create healthier teams and stronger results.”
– Jason Vickrey – Former CEO – TitleOne
“We had the privilege to attend training with The Other Side Leadership Institute. The team was professional, passionate, and practitioners of what they taught. They taught the skills of influence and accountability in a fun, powerful, and engaging manner.
They followed design and facilitation industry best practices to design and deliver the training. The presentation was very interactive and engaging. They transitioned us from information to application by immediately practicing what we learned in a real-life scenario and provided real-time feedback. We learned how to implement the learning to create a culture of accountability to better serve our patients.
Hearing the stories of the residents and how they live the The Other Side Academy beliefs inspired our entire team. Our leaders raved about the training and implemented the learnings with their teams. Success is now measured as the lag between when there is an issue to when the issue is resolved. I highly recommend The Other Side Leadership Institute for helping ordinary people do extraordinary things.”
– Jordan Snedaker – Healthcare Executive
The Other Side Leadership Institute taught over 600 leaders from our healthcare organization… Their stories of personal transformation—from adversity to lives of service and accountability—were both powerful and deeply moving.
This wasn’t just a keynote—it was a call to lead with integrity. The experience was a masterclass in leadership, resilience, and human potential. I wholeheartedly recommend The Other Side Leadership Institute as a keynote partner for any organization seeking to inspire meaningful change and elevate its leadership culture.
– Jason Burton – Trainer & Healthcare Executive
