Our Game-Changing Leadership
Curriculum, Interventions & Theory
Most leadership programs fail to deliver the results promised—because they are locked in an outdated training model that fails to deliver transformed leaders or concrete business impact.
With our origins in strategy and innovation consulting, training in behavioral and brain science, and years of experience, we have innovated a genuinely pioneering approach to maximize your leadership development investment by changing leaders as fast as humanly possible.
Coherent & Comprehensive
Self-To-System™ Leadership Curriculum
Over 25 years, we have researched, evolved, tested, and codified a coherent and cohesive "Self-to-System" leadership development curriculum that starts with how to change oneself and ends with how to transform systems. Our curriculum enables leaders to master the inner and outer games of leadership.
State-Of-The-Art Transformative Interventions
Alongside the curriculum, we developed a number of innovative interventions for unlocking and sustaining exceptional leadership. These range from peer-to-peer coaching that builds trust and traction to truly transformative experiences that can break persistent habits and unfold rapid change.
A Science-Backed Theory Of Change
Our curriculum and interventions have been built upon our own original theory of human development, Bio-Transformation. We developed this methodology to transform, as quickly as humanly possible, how leaders feel, think, act, interact, relate, innovate, and communicate by working with, not against, human biology and culture.
