Your Leadership Pipeline Is Leaking

Turnover is rising. Burnout is spreading. And your best people are quietly disengaging.

In today’s local government, leadership isn’t just hard—it’s high-stakes. You’re managing critical infrastructure, political pressure, and a workforce stretched thin. But all too often, cities and counties are handing new leaders a title without the tools, support, or training to actually succeed.

If that sounds familiar, this isn’t just your problem. It’s your crisis.

A Program Built for the Realities of Municipal Life

This isn’t just another leadership training.

It’s the merging of the Municipal Leadership Development Circle (MLDC) with HaltingWinter’s proven Leadership & Culture Development Program—a 9-month experience designed specifically for cities and counties navigating stretched capacity, rising complexity, and the costly consequences of reactive leadership.

It’s built for teams who aren’t just looking for a program.
They’re desperate for results.

Created by Seth Winterhalter, keynote speaker and host of The HaltingWinter Podcast, this program draws on:

• Over 20 years of leadership development experience
• 200+ interviews with local government leaders across North America
• Real-world impact in communities of every size—from King County, WA to Parkland County, Canada, and from Jersey Village, TX to Arcola, IL to Solebury, PA

You won’t find corporate fluff or generic content here. Just tested tools, practical training, and the kind of transformation your leaders—and your public sector organization—need.
