Develop a way of living and working with less stress, more engagement, and greater meaning and purpose
Overview
Boundless Leadership is a comprehensive accessible path for anyone looking to have more clarity, ease, connection and confidence in their personal and professional life. We believe leadership is not about any specific role, new set of ideas or skills to influence others. It is a fundamental shift in our way of being that will yield transformational change not just for you individually, but also for all those whose lives you touch.
The Book
The Boundless Leadership program is also mapped out in an acclaimed new book, Boundless Leadership: The Breakthrough Method to Realize Your Vision, Empower Others & Ignite Positive Change, published by Shambhala Publications and distributed by Penguin Random House. The book is the 2022 Gold winner of the prestigious Nautilus Award in Business & Leadership, was named Top Five Compassionate Leadership Books of 2021 and was selected by Next Big Idea Club’s list of books we can’t wait to read this winter.

Who Is This Program For?
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 leader – 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.

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.

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.
