Self-Mastery For Leaders – Unleashing Your Best Self

This retreat will be moved to Spring 2024. Please email if you want to be updated about the new dates. jennie.martensson@crisp.se, michael.gothe@crisp.se

We often meet leaders feeling overwhelmed, stressed, and trapped in the daily complexities of work and life. 

In response, it is easy to turn to simple stuff that requires less cognitive load rather than addressing what matters. 

When we need to handle complexity the most, we are least able to. Complexity tends to trigger us, making us anxious, afraid, or overwhelmed, leading to reactivity and oversimplification. When we are calm, we can handle complexity better.

Adapted from Jennifer Garvey Berger: Unleashing your complexity genius 

Alternatively, we can learn to develop our self-mastery to find better solutions to meet today’s challenges. Self-mastery is a critical component of effective leadership, as it helps leaders to:

  • Stay composed in challenging situations
  • Be clear about what matters (inner compass)
  • Shift fear to curiosity
  • Inspire others
  • Build strong relationships that have an impact

“The success of an intervention depends on the interior condition of the intervenor.”

– Bill O’Brien
Welcome to our exclusive retreat in Tuscany, where you can unwind in a stunning environment, enjoy delicious food and wine, and gain valuable skills for personal growth and self-mastery.

Take time out for yourself. To reflect, be grounded, and act with intention and more clarity. Start to build your foundation for leading in a complex world.

Our approach to developing self-mastery is very practical and built on proven theories such as:

  • Coaching and Reflective practices
  • Skill Theory (Kurt Fischer / Theo Dawson)
  • Inner Game (Tim Gallwey)
  • Adult Development (Jennifer Garvey Berger, Robert Kegan etc.)
  • Corporate Athlete (Jack Groppel, James E Loehr)
  • Creative Tension (Robert Fritz))
  • Self-mastery (Peter Senge)
  • etc.

Outcomes

  • Clarity of who you want to be as a leader.
  • Learn practices for developing self-mastery, e.g:
    • Managing energy, emotion, thoughts, and behaviors
    • Practice composure (from reacting to deliberate action)
    • Unlock your awareness of how to handle complexity
