Developmental Training Programs
These programs go deep, to significantly change your behavior. They focus on key behavioral topics and guide and support you to develop your abilities in those topics.
Attention, Focus, and Deep Thinking
Without the ability to focus your attention and think deeply, you can only do what is routine. You cannot innovate, you cannot solve hard problems, and you cannot begin from first principles – something that is key to success in an innovative organization.
Today’s work environment and society are designed at every turn to steal our attention. Also, in the rush to increase collaboration, companies have ruined our ability to focus. Collaboration is important, but only if it is at the right time and does not intrude on focus.
In this seminar you will learn about ways to increase your focus, and in the workshops you will practice those techniques so that they become internalized and natural to you – your new way of being.
These skills not only give us a sense of purpose, meaning, and happiness, but make us far more effective and in control of our own focus and ability to solve difficult problems.

Mindful Leadership
Emotional intelligence is about behaving in a way that is effective and reflects your values. It’s about being in control, and who you want to be. It’s about working well with others, making good impressions, and getting good results. It’s about what we often think of as “maturity”.
Contrary to what many think, the path to emotional intelligence is not a path of learning self control. Self control is important, but what is much more important is calmness and confidence: being able to step back and stay unruffled when things don’t go well, and responding rationally and thoughtfully instead of in a reactionary way.
The path to that kind of disposition is through mindfulness. Mindfulness is a set of techniques for learning to step outside of yourself, to observe your feelings, and separate yourself from situations. It leads to calm, awareness, and control, even though – paradoxically – it is about letting go of trying to control yourself.
In this seminar you will learn how to be more mindful. It will make an enormous difference in your both your work life and your personal life. It might be the most impactful course you ever take.
