How do you actually change your behaviour and release more of your potential as a leader? What works and what does not? Based on over 30 years experience and research, we have developed a comprehensive step by step process to personal transformation. We start by identifying the 10 most common mistakes leaders make when trying to change. Often leaders, paradoxically, over focus on changing their behaviour at the expense of a deeper understanding of what causes behaviour in the first place. Any one of these 10 mistakes can hold you back from your true potential.What we have identified are 6 steps to personal transformation that enable a deeper and richer understanding of self, an understanding that will allow you to more fully express your potential. Our experience has shown that leaders rarely combine these steps in any one program or practice. They are each powerful and interdependent. One of the keys to these steps is the emphasis we place on intention rather than goals. An intention is a present moment movement toward your potential whereas a goal tends to be future oriented. We encourage action now, start learning forward into a new way of being.
