A profound & practical approach
Our work is rooted in ontology, the study of being. We look at what it truly is to be human: The values we live by, the heroic journey we are each here to take, and, ultimately, the gift to others we want to be known for. Our approach is:
Universal
Our approach is grounded in principles found across spiritual and secular traditions, from ancient wisdom teachings to the latest research in neuroscience.
Pragmatic
We turn timeless wisdom into an elegant framework of tools and practices for living your values, realizing your vision, and empowering others.
Transformational
Our rigorous approach teaches you how to create lasting shifts in the way you see and do things — long after the high of an “aha” moment wears off.
Compassionate
Our approach honors the wholeness and dignity of every person, and affirms our capacity to move beyond external obstacles and internal limitations.
Socially conscious
As we support people to see their greatness, they naturally turn to the contribution they are here to make, to their community and to the world.
How the course is structured
Our approach bridges the disciplines of personal transformation, leadership development, and coach training. The course is an engaging mix of “flipchart-style” teaching, personal reflection, group coaching, peer interaction, and experiential skill-building. The course is structured around four simple elements:
Timeless
Principles
We take universal success principles based in wisdom teachings and neuroscience, and distill them into their most accessible form.
Practical
Tools
We then give you incredibly simple tools and practices you can use to immediately apply those principles in your everyday life and work.
Lifelong
Skills
The course is structured around actually using those tools, so you’ll leave with the skill and confidence to apply them.
Tangible
Results
You’ll leave with a support structure and simple ways to do something with what you’ve learned, and turn insight into actual shifts in your life.
