"The best two days of training I've ever had in the industry. So happy I came."
— Derek H.— Jenna P.My biggest takeaway: I'm not alone. Being new in my role, I felt like I was the only one struggling. But I left confident. I've got this."
— Kristie P.— Marc F."It is so powerful and so beneficial. Don't be on the fence. Come to it."
— Derek B.is colab right for you?
CoLab Live is built for a specific kind of homebuilding leader. If this sounds like you, you're exactly who this was designed for.
This is for you if:
You lead people and own outcomes
You’re tired of “conference theater” and want implementation
You want a stronger culture that shows up in the customer experience
You need your team performing without everything depending on you
This is not for you if:
You want a sit-and-listen conference
You’re looking for quick tactics without changing leadership behavior
You’re not planning to apply what you learn immediately
What attendees are saying
"It was absolutely incredible. Every moment."
“Thought-provoking, encouraging, motivating, fun!"
"Different from anything you have seen and pertinent to your leadership career at any time or in any market."
"You have to be there to truly understand the impact of what this event is. Deep content, challenged growth, full tool box."
"CoLab Live was the most informative, impactful, and entertaining homebuilder sales event that I've ever experienced!"
"It was the most collaborative training I've been too. Not only did I learn but I had time to process and discuss allowing the content to land more deeply. Highly recommend."
why colab live is different
This isn’t another industry conference. and it’s not trying to be.
For the first time in the homebuilding industry, trainers from competing companies are coming together for a single mission.
Not to compete. Not to sell.
But to collaborate, openly, for the good of the industry.
At CoLab Live, you won’t sit in a dark ballroom listening to one voice.
You’ll engage in real conversations, work through real challenges, and build practical solutions alongside peers who carry the same responsibility you do.
This is a workshop built around participation, application, and honest dialogue. Not performance.
The future of new home sales isn't shaped by watching presentations. It's shaped by leaders thinking clearly together.
That's what these two days are for.
smaller room.
Better conversations.
Built with
breathing room.
no filler.
no wasted time.
when it’s full. It’s full.
no exceptions.
This isn't about ideas you'll revisit someday. Every framework, every playbook, every conversation at CoLab Live is built for the specific realities of new home sales leadership. You'll leave with decisions already made, not a to-do list waiting to be prioritized.
what you’ll walk away with
You’ll walk away with:
Clear leadership playbooks you can apply immediately
Coaching language that changes behavior, not just morale
A clearer connection between leadership behavior, team performance, and revenue outcomes
Practical tools to reduce friction across the buyer journey
Decisions already made—not ideas waiting to be prioritized
You won’t just feel inspired. You’ll know exactly what to do next — and you'll have the room to prove it works.
“At CoLab Live, they gave us the lake, they gave us the boat, and they gave us the playbook. The only thing left is to execute."
— Brian S.the experience
CoLab Live isn’t about listening. It’s about participating, applying, and leading. Every session is hands-on, built around honest exchange and real collaboration. You'll think differently about leadership, culture, and performance before you leave the room on Day 1.
Day 1 → You as the Leader
Before you can lead others, you have to lead yourself.
This day focuses on mindset, productivity, and the principles that separate good leaders from exceptional ones.
You’ll uncover what drives your influence, how to lead through challenge, and how to align your habits with your vision.
You’ll learn how to:
Lead with clarity and confidence instead of urgency and reaction
Build trust through consistent leadership behaviors (E.A.G.R. framework)
Increase your influence without over-functioning or burning out
Set healthy boundaries that strengthen your team instead of creating dependency
Align your habits, decisions, and leadership identity with the culture you want to build
You’ll leave Day 1 with a clearer leadership identity and the capacity to lead well, not just lead harder.
Day 2 → Team Performance + Customer Experience
Leadership turns to impact when your people thrive.
This day dives into how to develop stronger teams, coach with intention, and connect performance to the customer experience.
Expect frameworks that elevate alignment, accountability, and the way your teams deliver on your company’s promise.
You’ll learn how to:
Coach with specificity so behavior actually changes (not just morale)
Identify and fix the friction points killing conversion across the buyer journey
Connect team performance metrics to real customer experience outcomes
Improve trust during the “long middle” of the customer journey (backlog + delivery)
Build systems and playbooks your team can execute without everything depending on you
You’ll leave Day 2 with practical playbooks that improve performance, customer trust, and consistency.
“When I saw the roster of speakers, that already intrigued me. But when I read the description of how it was going to be structured. That's when I knew I had to be here."
— Keith M."The vulnerability in the room has been shocking to me. I don't think we see that enough in leadership… to be vulnerable and open ourselves up so we can actually grow."
— Lisa W.how this shows up back at work
✓ Clear frameworks for leadership and team development
✓ Tools that strengthen communication and accountability
✓ Strategies to elevate both performance and experience
✓ A renewed conviction for what collaboration can accomplish
you can’t lead well if you’re running on empty
Most leadership challenges don’t start with strategy. They start with capacity.
When leaders are stretched thin, teams feel it. Decision-making slows. Communication shortens. Culture becomes reactive instead of intentional.
CoLab Live creates space to step out of the day-to-day, reset perspective, and rebuild the clarity and energy required to lead effectively without burning out or becoming the bottleneck.
This isn’t time away from the business.
It’s time invested in how the business is led.
Healthy leadership scales. Exhaustion doesn’t.

"Incredible. One of the best events I've ever been too. Loved the venue, loved the not-a-stage stage in the middle of the room, great group, all solid speakers."
"This was EXACTLY what I always had in my mind of what was missing from industry events! Every aspect of this was so well thought out. INCLUDING crushing it on the lunch and snacks. This matters so much more than most can imagine. No lunchmeat! This was an incredible hot meal."
"The boutique style conference was amazing. Being able to engage with all speakers on a human level and not just listening was an amazing experience! The ability to network in this setting was just as amazing as the conference itself."
"It was an absolutely incredible experience. I can't imagine a leadership 'conference' being any more informative, inspiring, and entertaining. I came away with new perspectives, advice from other leaders, and actionable items to put to work immediately. A+ all the way!"
"I was impressed with so many things at this conference. The energy was different in a good way. People showed up ready to be vulnerable, ready to share, and open for growth. I was amazed that so many things I learned throughout my career was valuable to who I spoke to, it truly showed the lack of leadership training this industry has. I left with great relationships, people I can collaborate with more, and plenty of energy and direction to actually make changes that will last."
"A high energy and truly collaborative experience that provided useful tools to strengthen your leadership approach, re-energize your mindset about how much you can improve your results and your team's experience with small changes in coaching and a commitment to consistency. It was also an opportunity to walk away with connections you wouldn't have otherwise made (I have 3 new contacts in my phone that I know I will be using!)."
