Mike Cavezza, founder of Infectious Leadership

"Over my 24 years in the military, I've been through trials and tribulations. A lack of life balance ended my career as a soldier, but it started my life as a true father and husband. My leadership philosophy was forged in that fire — raw, uncut, and built on a foundation of overcoming personal failure. I learned that leadership isn't just about the mission; it's about the people."

Now, I want to teach and share what I've learned, with my own spin on it—raw and uncut!

Does This Sound Familiar?

As a leader, you've likely felt the weight of these challenges in your own team:

Disengaged Team

Does your team show up just for the paycheck? Has the passion and ownership that once drove them vanished?

Communication Breakdown

Are misunderstandings leading to rework and frustration? Do important messages get lost in translation?

Low Morale & High Turnover

Are you concerned by how often good people leave? Does it feel like you're constantly training replacements?

Stagnant Growth

Has "good enough" become the standard instead of "how can we be better?" Is your team afraid to try new ideas?

This Is How We Overcome It.

You don't have to face these challenges alone. Together, we'll build an environment where your team doesn't just work—they thrive.

Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions? We've got answers.

Infectious Leadership is designed for a wide range of individuals, including military leaders, civilian managers, business owners, sports teams, and anyone in a position of influence who wants to transform their leadership style from managing tasks to inspiring people.

The core philosophy is that true leadership is "felt, not heard". It's about creating an environment where your team feels a genuine desire to work for you out of passion and respect, rather than feeling they simply have to. This begins with the leader's own energy and passion.

Leadership seminar packages are flexible to meet client needs. The minimum package is 2 hours, and the maximum is a comprehensive 2-day (16-hour) session. For specific pricing and to design a custom package, please book a free consultation.

The process begins with a free 30-minute initial consultation where we discuss your organization, your leadership style, and what you want to provide for your team. Based on this, a personally designed program of instruction (proposal) is created and sent to you for agreement before scheduling the training.
