Do People Around You Waste Valuable Time And Energy NOT Taking Ownership For Obvious and Important Problems?
Applied research over the last twenty-five years on the front lines of leadership about how personal responsibility works in the mind (how we avoid it and take it) now makes it possible for coaches and leaders to understand and teach the mental processes, language, and keys to personal responsibility.
Doing so inspires those around you to demonstrate far greater ownership behavior as individuals, and in teams and enterprises. You will add more value as your team or clients take ownership; practice self-leadership; and learn, correct, and improve more easily, directly, and quickly.
You will…
- Learn what to do about the fact that accountability does not equal responsibility
- Experience, play with, and validate your mind’s internal Responsibility Process
- Learn how to invite and allow others to try on these lessons
- Get insights about why giving advice is the weakest tool available to you

-Cyndi McAlpine, Project Manager, Switchbox, Inc., Columbus, OH - ”Life changing experience in all domains! A must for all that have the intention to improve themselves.”
-Jurgen De Smet, Agile Coach and Leader, www.Co-Learning.be, Belgium - ”This workshop will help you understand why you and people around you respond to problems the way they do. It will make it easier for you to challenge your own reactions and grow on a personal level. It will also make it easier for you to accept the way people around you respond. This model helps you to talk about your reactions and gives you an easy frame of reference that you can use to improve yourself and attain a higher level of personal freedom. It has become a key element of my path towards personal freedom and growth.”
