We're honored to share that our CEO and Founder, Starla Halcomb, has been named the SBA Oklahoma District Office Home Based Business of the Year! 🎉 Dr. Halcomb's vision has always been simple: build capability where it matters most. This award is a testament to that commitment and to the clients and partners who trust us to walk alongside them. Thank you to the SBA Oklahoma District Office for this incredible honor. We're proud to Lead the Way. 

Ten years. It's hard to fully capture what that means, not just in time, but in effort, growth, relationships, and impact. When Starla Halcomb started LEAD Training, it wasn't just a business idea. It was a deeply held belief. A belief that people matter. That leadership can be developed, strengthened, and lived. That organizations can be better when individuals are empowered. That belief hasn't changed. What has changed is the reach, the depth, and the community that has grown around it. Ten years of trusted partnerships. Ten years of leaders developed and organizations transformed. Ten years of showing up with heart, with purpose, and with an unwavering commitment to doing things the right way. This milestone belongs to every person who has been part of this journey: our team, our clients, our partners, and every leader who chose to invest in their own growth. You are the foundation of who we are. Because of that collective effort, LEAD Training is more than a company. We are a trusted partner, a place of growth, and a force for positive change. And while today is worth celebrating, we're even more energized by what lies ahead. There are still so many people to reach, so many leaders to develop, so many organizations we can help transform. We are just getting started. Thank you for ten years of believing in this mission alongside us, and many more to come! 🚀 #LEADTraining #10Years #LeadTheWay #Leadership #Milestone 

Next week, Starla Halcomb and Denise Michaud, PMP will be representing LEAD Training at the Department of War Mentor-Protégé Program Summit. The MPP connects small businesses like ours with experienced partners in the defense industrial base to build the capabilities, relationships, and opportunities that help us grow and deliver even more value to our federal clients. This year's theme — Bridging Opportunities: Scaling Innovation for National Defense — couldn't align more with what we do every day. We can't wait to see what's ahead! #MPP26 #SmallBusiness #MentorProtege #FederalContracting #LEADTraining 

We're honored to announce that LEAD Training has earned 4th place on the Cowboy 100! This is the second year that LEAD has ranked in the Top 5. The Cowboy 100, presented by the Spears School of Business at Oklahoma State University, recognizes the business and leadership achievements of OSU graduates whose companies are making a positive influence on their communities and our nation.

Being recognized alongside so many exceptional Cowboy-owned and Cowboy-led businesses means a great deal to our team. A special nod to our founder and CEO, Starla Halcomb, whose undergraduate, master's, and doctoral degrees from OSU are woven into the very DNA of this company!
