Developing Self

Breaking through the inner barriers to your authentic leaderful Self

The most salient characteristic of life is its coerciveness: it is always urgent, “here and now” without any possible postponement. Life is fired at us point-blank.

-- Jose Ortegay Y Gasset

For those of us who see ourselves as transformation leaders, there is the blunt recognition that, in order to catalyze transformation around us, we must also catalyze transformation within ourselves.

Personal transformation, however, is, as they say, “not for sissies”. It entails a willingness to take an honest look at ourselves. To see beyond what we already “know”—about ourselves, about others, about the world. To embrace unfamiliar paradigms of thinking. To stand in the essential embarrassment and hesitancy that holds us back as transformation leaders.

The curriculum for inner development is a deliberately developmental ecosystem that catalyzes such transformations.

Leveraging research-based distinctions and practices from the fields of adult developmental psychology, experiential learning, linguistic and dialogical practices, and systemic thinking , we offer a variety of webinars, seminars, and courses designed to confound standard reasoning and stable beliefs—whether about ourselves, about others, about the world—in order to lay open new possibilities for leaderful being and action in the world.

Inventing Your Leadership From the Inside Out

Our signature inner development program (whose previous incarnations were called Inner Path and ETLP) is a world class leadership development course that promises a breakthrough in your capacity to cultivate transformative learning around you.

The next Inventing course starts in 2024.

Look for our upcoming seminar series in the fall—an easy way to open yourself to new possibilities for your leadership and your leaderful impact in the world.
