INTRODUCING
NAVIGATE PROACTIVE LEADERSHIP
We Help You Create Great Student Leaders That Lead Great Teams!
For years, Proactive Coaching has been helping high schools and colleges develop their next generation of student leaders in the fields of athletics and activities. Now, founder Bruce Brown and partner, Rob Miller are partnering with Neptune Navigate to create a comprehensive set of online training modules for your student leaders – both current and future! Check out the video to learn more.
Navigate Proactive Leadership draws on the same core content that Proactive Coaching has used to train more than 1.5 million students at in-person events, but now in an easy-to-access online series of modules. This training is specifically designed for a select group of current or potential student leaders from athletics, activities, or other student groups. The focus is on equipping and empowering these students to become effective and impactful team leaders.
All too often we hear “We don’t have any leaders aNymore”, but the real question is: “what are you doing to create them?”
What We Cover
The Navigate Proactive Leadership Core Program uses a combination of video presentations and group exercises to instill the leadership principles of BE FIRST AND BE LAST.
Be the first to SERVE and be the last to be served
Be the first to LEAD BY EXAMPLE and the last to violate team standards
Be the first to be a LIFELINE OF COMMUNICATION between coaches and team and be the last to withhold information
Be the first to PRAISE OTHERS and be the last to brag or draw attention to yourself
Be the first to PROTECT AND DEFEND and be the last to criticize
Be the first to CONFRONT VIOLATIONS OF TEAM STANDARDS, and be the last to ignore problems
Be the first to ENCOURAGE and be the last to become discouraged
How It Works
EIGHT 1-HOUR LESSONS (8 HOURS OF TRAINING)
The first lesson covers an Overview of Leadership. Each subsequent lesson focuses on one of the seven Be First and Be Last principles. The lessons can be accessed online via our secure website for projecting onto a screen.
Video Presentations
Within the lesson, there are a series of short video presentations around 5-10 minutes each. Each video focuses on a particular characteristic of leadership.
Group Activity + Self-Reflection
Between each video, there are numerous group activities, including group discussions and role-play exercises. At the conclusion of the lesson, there are individual activities that provide participants with the opportunity for self-reflection as well as to identify areas of self-development.
Certificate of Completion
At the conclusion of all eight lessons, student leaders will have the
opportunity to download a certificate of completion as a record of having completed formal leadership training.
Advanced Navigate Proactive Leadership Program
Beginning in the 2024-25 school year, an optional year two advanced leadership training program will be available for selected student leaders who have completed the core program. Although the specifics of the program are still being designed, it will cover topics like:
Why Teams Win
Leadership Styles
Qualities of Exceptional Leaders
Positional Power vs. Personal Power
Sharing Leadership
Proactive Leadership Advisory Team
Bruce Brown and Rob Miller have been providing in-person training at high schools and colleges all around the country for over 25 years.

What Others Have to Say about proactive coaching
“Bruce Brown and Rob Miller with Proactive Coaching are absolutely the gold standard in their field. Their knowledge of coaching, experience at virtually every level, and the way that they present their information are second to none. If you are looking to improve your athletic team or program they should be the first ones to call. They truly care about the teams they work with and are always checking to see how their teams are doing and what else they can help with. Their number one goal for any team they work with is to give those teams and coaches the skills they need to be successful. They will go out of their way to make that happen. Their philosophies are everything that is good about sports and the benefit they can be to young athletes and programs. The skills that they teach to the teams they work with are highly effective, positive, and repeatable. This is especially true of their ‘7 Ways To Lead Your Team’ program. It gives athletes and coaches things that they can immediately implement into their programs that will make a difference on the very first day. It also provides a sustainable framework for establishing a positive culture within the program. Bruce, Rob and Proactive Coaching are the real deal you will not regret partnering with them to improve your programs.”
