In 8 weeks, you can build new neural pathways in your brain and cultivate
mental & emotional habits to help you live a more satisfying life.   

This is facilitated by PRACTICE plus TRAINING.  For example ...
​
Week 2
- Learn building blocks for redirecting your focus to what's needed, soothing emotional triggers and changing sabotaging thoughts to productive ones  

Week 3:
- Recognize and reduce the power of your "Judge" (aka Inner Critic, Imposter Syndrome and others). 
​- The Judge fuels negativity about yourself, your circumstances and other people. Learning to recognize and neutralize your Inner Judge is key to performing and relating at your best.  

Week 4:
- Work with more aspects of your Judge: the Accomplice Saboteurs.
​- These nine common Judge variations can be fierce derailers to your personal and professional satisfaction, connection and performance. 
- Even though they are helpful in their ideal manifestations, in most cases they can do a lot of damage to your leadership.

See examples of how the 9 Saboteurs interfere with your productivity & success

• Avoider - avoids uncomfortable or unpleasant tasks and conversations. This paralysis escalates problems and/or anxiety. 
• Controller - everything must be done their way. Discourages and disempowers others. Challenged with delegation, often feels alone and overburdened. 
• Hyper-Achiever - can't rest on a job well done. Exhausts self and others. Alienates others with their extreme task focus.
• Hyper-Rational - overly focuses on logic and rationality, with costs to relationships, stakeholders or company values.
• Hyper-Vigilant - anxiety and worry about what might go wrong takes this person out of peak performance.  
• Pleaser - has a hard time advocating for their needs or for the needs of their team, out of a desire to not upset others.
• Restless - an oversized need for fun and excitement can get in the way of work or achieving long term goals.
• Stickler - perfectionism applied to everything—important or not. Derails productivity and discourages others who never do a good enough job.
• Victim - may feel overwhelmed, helpless or resigned. Negative feelings hinder productive conflict resolution, accountability and motivation. 

 ​
These are only examples. Your own version of these Saboteurs might have a different manifestation and different impact on yourself and others. 

Week 5:
- Shift to the Sage Perspective.  Respond to disappointments, challenges and setbacks with resilience and empowered action.
