Boundless Leadership Stories
Who Is This Program For?
Teachers, Coaches, Business Leaders, Artists, Therapists
Self-leadership is not about a specific role or function, it is about how we carry ourselves and move in the world with other people. The transformational path laid out in this course appeals to a wide variety of people across all levels of management – from C-level to team leaders – within for profit and nonprofit organizations.
The course also draws many HR professionals and coaches looking for new ways to support people. But what makes the course interesting is the diversity of the cohort which has included retirees, engineers and artists.

The Curriculum
Module 1 – Preparing the Ground – Setting Intentions for Change
Exploring our individual challenges and vision, and clearing up misconceptions about meditation and embodied methods, we set our intentions for the program and begin our journey to Boundless Leadership together.
Module 2 – Discipline of Mind – Showing Up at Our Best
In this module we learn to make better decisions by training in the qualities of presence, balance, unbiased awareness and discernment and building our competency for clarity and the trait of self-awareness.
Module 3 – Discipline of Heart – Leading Others to Excellence
In this module we use the new science and practices to develop compassion, the basis for authentic engagement, by building the qualities of empathy, resilience, engagement and inspiration that promote social equity lead through trust.
Module 4 – Discipline of Body – Embodying Fearlessness
Leading fearlessly requires re-envisioning our self-image and purpose, revising our story as leaders, then grounding these in natural flow and fearless embodiment to rewire the unconscious networks and energies through which our bodies and minds impact others.
Module 5 – Moving Forward – Turning States into Traits
Supported by a peer community, we set our own personal plan, focus on bringing practice into our daily lives, refine our intentions and commitments, and strengthen our resolve to positively impact the world as boundless leaders.
