FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

VICTORIA, BC — September 2025 — Victoria-founded leadership development company BestHuman has officially launched The Power Lab — a bite-sized, community-powered leadership program designed for team leads, project managers, senior individual contributors, and first-time founders who are already leading, but often overlooked for formal leadership training.

After supporting over 5,000 professionals across Canada and the Pacific Northwest — including teams at Redbrick, Metalab, StarFish Medical, and Zetron — BestHuman saw a gap: the people on the front lines of execution and influence were being left out of traditional leadership programs.

“They are expected to manage people, lead projects, and drive results — but don’t get the tools to lead confidently,” says Humaira Ahmed, Founder & CEO of BestHuman. “Power Lab is designed specifically for them: short, high-impact learning experiences that fit into their workflow and build leadership muscle over time.”

The Power Lab is a 12-month leadership development membership built on three core principles:

• Bite-sized learning: just 1 hour/month, live on Zoom
• In the flow of work: sessions designed to be immediately actionable
• Community-based learning: no solo journeys — participants grow with a peer cohort and expert coach

The curriculum includes topics such as:

• Feedback & Accountability
• Power Up with AI
• Conflict Management
• Business Acumen
• Team Communication
• Influence & Managing Up
• Storytelling & Presentations

The program is affordable and scalable — starting at $30/month per team member — and is available to both individuals and companies through annual membership options.

“In the age of AI, leadership isn’t just about knowledge. It’s about human skills — communication, influence, resilience — and these are best learned in community, not isolation,” Ahmed explains.

According to the World Economic Forum, 6 of the top 10 skills needed by 2025 are human skills — like critical thinking, leadership, and emotional intelligence.

🚀 Fall 2025 cohort applications are now open until Sept 5, 2025.
