The Zen Leader –
10 ways to go from barely managing to leading fearlessly

An interactive overview of the 10 flips in consciousness that release The Zen Leader in you, with focus on the first flip – from coping to transforming – that is the foundation of leadership. Engaging exercises and reflection give people an experience of how to extend energy, reframe challenges, get out of their own way, and lead fearlessly.

From Playing to Your Strengths to Strengthening Your Play

A multi-sensory immersion into the 4 energy patterns underlying (and sometimes undermining!) personality and leadership, and how we affect others before we know it. People experience the patterns that play to their strengths, and the patterns that would make them stronger.
