Personal Mastery
Lead with your Full Capacity
when Life Challenges You
Nine days to understand yourself as never before. Undo decades of unproductive automatic reactions; learn the skills you need to reenergize yourself. This is the essence of Personal Mastery.
Know your Derailleurs
You have many strengths as a leader — yet sometimes you react poorly. You take charge when you should empower, get abrasive when you should listen, shut down when you could contribute. How you respond when life challenges you is the true test of leadership.
Learn what your “ego-triggers” are, and when and how they short-circuit your capacities. Explore how what got you where you are today may be in the way of where you’re going. Discover a new path to nurturing your important relationships, being an outstanding contributor and reaching your highest goals
Overcome the Root Cause
“That’s just the way I am.” “You can’t teach a old dog new tricks.” “My feedback says the same thing every year.” Many personality traits seem hard-wired.
Like all of us, you have engrained thought patterns that influence how you communicate, pursue your goals, and respond to adversity. Some help you; others are problematic. Self-limiting behaviors can not be wished away; you need to unwire the original driver from your childhood.
Personal Mastery teaches you to identify and work through the root cause of counter-productive behaviors, empowering you to actually change in ways you didn’t think were possible.
Be Guided by Your Passion
Bring a unique product to market, stretch yourself into new skills, mentor your team, leave a legacy… Conscious or unconscious, you have inspiring passions that can get sidelined both by the stresses of life and your Ego’s ulterior motives.
When you master your ego drivers, the world and your aspirations take on new energy. Unleash the clarity and stamina to overcome your derailleurs. Be guided, on a daily basis, by what you care most about.
LaL is a very powerful way to hold a mirror up to your life and see clearly how you’re getting in the way of what you want to create.

Personal Mastery PROFESSIONAL
An LaL coach will work with you (preferably through a 360 Feedback Assessment) prior to the seminar to understand your context, behavioral and communication challenges, and overall growth opportunities. Once in the seminar, our comprehensive self-reflection methodology generates in-depth, personal self-awareness of what makes you tick, why you react — and how to show up differently. You surface these realizations with a diverse group of leaders forging their own insights, which gives you a non-threatening environment to grapple with your developmental needs.
9-day workshop
Become aware of your triggers and your unproductive habits, trace back their root cause, acquire the tools to overcome them, and practice leading from your highest self. This seminar is an unexpected, profound journey to self-mastery.
2 Coaching calls before first workshop
Our experienced coaches guide you through a self-assessment, helping you define developmental priorities as they get to know you and your context.
3 Coaching calls after the workshop
Translating your insights into day-to-day changes back home is where the rubber meets the road. A trusted coach who knows you and your context is an invaluable support structure as you work on your Areas For Improvement (AFIs).

At the mercy/at the source
A different approach to the usual “lose-lose” situations. For example: either I tell it like it is and get reactions from other, or I stay silent and let things fester. Finding the starting point “At the Sources” is break out of my paradigm.
Pattern
Familiar way of behaving that is an automatic response to an unidentified anxiety, producing unwanted consequences. For example: getting angry, shutting down, procrastinating,…
