Personal Mastery Seminar

An unexpected and profound journey to self-mastery

Become aware of your unproductive habits and trace them back to their root causes. Learn to lead from your highest self - consistently.

Master Your “Derailers”

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. You know these tendencies get in your way, but they seem like hard-wired personality traits. Although these behaviors cannot be wished or willed away, they are learned — and can therefore be unlearned.

Sharpen your sense of what sets you off and short-circuits your strengths. Personal Mastery teaches you to identify and work through the root causes of counter-productive behaviors, empowering you to change in ways you didn’t think were possible.

“The best training I’ve received in my +25 year career. It's made me a better leader, father, husband, son and friend. I'd recommend this life-changing program to anyone.”

Bring Your A-Game When You Need It Most

How you respond when life challenges you is the true test of leadership. Unfortunately, most of our weaknesses are reactions to stress, and they come out when we can least afford them. Imagine developing a powerful new mindset that allows you to deploy your full talents to your greatest endeavors.

Instead of being the one who inadvertently fuels the fire or disengages when others get off track, learn to rise above the fray to refocus conversations and energize others.

Lead From Your Passion and Inspiration

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 too often get sidelined by the stresses of life and your ego’s ulterior motives.

When you master your unconscious ego drivers, you redirect your energy to your aspirations. Be guided, on a daily basis, by what you care most about.

A Customized Approach

An LaL coach works with you to understand your context, behavioral and communication challenges, and overall growth opportunities (preferably informed by an LaL 360º Feedback Assessment). Your coach then supports you in the seminar to tailor our comprehensive self-reflection methodology to your needs. You will generate 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, which gives you a non-threatening environment to grapple with your developmental needs.

Self Assessment Calls

An experienced LaL coach guides you through a self-assessment, helping you define developmental priorities. Sharing about your needs, personality, context and history helps create trust for a powerful collaboration.
