Workshop Overview

Program Benefits

ILP is targeted to leaders who:

are open to self-awareness as a path to continuous self-improvement
are interested in cultivating greater focus, presence, and clarity
are willing to engage in self-examination to improve their leadership and life outcomes

The program can be completed individually or as a group.

Each month follows the same format:

Week 1 | A two-hour workshop that includes:

Introduction and practice of new tools
The science behind the tools
Reflective work
Commitment to personal practice

Weeks 2-4 | Weekly 30-60 minute check-ins that include:

Discussion of how the tools are being integrated
Examination of any challenges to implementation
Exploration into deeper personal application

Six workshops over six months:

1. | Making the Shift: Improving awareness of the breath, body, and mind to support physical and mental health.

2. | Mindfulness: Training the mind to be more present and focused.

3. | Reframing: Examining how we interpret our experiences and exploring new perspectives based on a growth mindset.

4. | Conscious Communication (Internal): Creating new self-talk narratives to elevate our mindset and performance.

5. | Conscious Communication (External): Being more intentional with our words and actions to create impactful outcomes.

6. | Living on Purpose: Exploring our circle of influence to make a positive impact and live with greater gratitude and meaning.

Past participants have echoed the following benefits from taking the ILP training:

Greater self-awareness and the ability to reframe stress
Enhanced attention, focus, and energy
Improved patience and empathy for staff
Increased emotional intelligence and literacy that has strengthened personal and professional relationships
Feeling equipped with simple tools that can be practically integrated into day-to-day life

I think that this is a very rewarding program at a personal level, we get so caught up in the day to day (usually our challenges) and forget to stop and truly enjoy what we have. The opportunity to reframe, visualize, reflect and just be more positive in the midst of so much change was refreshing. I truly value the tools I have been given during this course. The opportunity to stop and reflect, as a person and as a leader, is a gift.

This was an excellent program and I am so happy I got to be part of it. It's helped me in many ways, to be more present, more patient (less stressed out), and has helped me approach things in my life in a different (more positive) way and unlike anything I expected. The one-on-one and group check-ins are so effective in helping us stay on track and ask questions along the way.
