Self-to-System™ Leadership Curriculum

Over 30 years in the making, our Self-to-System™ approach to effective leadership—and the creative, conscious, and transformational leadership programs that emerge from it—has been developed to be comprehensive, rigorous, and coherent.

The SOL Self-to-System™ Approach

Our approach to supporting leaders, people managers, and team members to lead and unlock significant change, innovation, and transformation is based on an inside-out way of thinking that is guided by breakthroughs in brain, behavioral, and complexity science.

Organizations change because teams change. Teams change because leaders change how they manage, lead, guide and empower teams. And leaders change because their emotional states, mindsets, beliefs, and behaviors change.

Thus, our leadership curriculum goes from transforming oneself to transforming the systems we touch.

“Switch On Leadership made a pronounced and profound impact. Exceptional.”

The Curriculum Foundations:
Brain, Behavioral & Complexity Science

We are allergic to consulting myths and pseudo-science. Underpinning our curriculum is our original theory of human development called Bio-Transformation®.

Based on the latest brain, behavioral, and complexity sciences, Bio-Transformation® works with, not against, human biologies and cultures.

Thirty years in the making, it unlocks change as fast as humanly possible.
