THE ESA GROWTH MODEL™
The System That Powers FMG's Grow, Evolve, and Thrive Solutions
Embrace establishes shared clarity—aligning values, leadership intent, and culture so growth is grounded in purpose, not assumption.
Strengthen builds organizational capacity by developing confident leaders, consistent practices, and the skills required to sustain performance.
Act translates alignment into execution—driving decisions, behaviors, and systems that move strategy forward.
The ESA Growth Model™ is The Flentroy Morris Group’s proprietary leadership development system and the foundation of its assessments, development labs, coaching services, and organizational consulting solutions.
Used by individuals, teams, and organizations, the ESA Growth Model™ provides a structured pathway for developing leaders, strengthening organizational effectiveness, and driving sustainable growth.
ESA—Embrace, Strengthen, Act—guides participants through a leadership development journey that aligns identity, capability, and action. The model recognizes that meaningful results are achieved when people understand who they are, build the skills they need, and take intentional action toward their goals.

"What if we were transparent about our own failures, not as some kind of performative vulnerability, but as an invitation to collectively de-stigmatize the messy process of lifelong learning?"
