Our 1-1 purpose led present leadership training + 4 supportive corporate group programs help you and your business build muscle to stay present and lead from purpose: even amidst great turbulence.
We use attention training as a key enabler to achieve this. (See our Whitepaper for scientific evidence) in 4 levels of learning:
- Learn to manage your own vitality & balance
- Learn to act from presence & purpose
- Master the team art of connective communication
- Facilitate collective change, involving stakeholders
The 1-1 program (grey arrow in diagram, see home page) trains 1 leader across all 4 levels. The other 4 programs trains larger groups of people per level. Start with what your organization needs most: see our 4 proposition descriptions below.
