“Dan takes the time to get to know CEOs and their traits. This knowledge is key to the guidance he provides to enhance their innate strengths but also to encourage them to think differently.”

Manasi GanganFounder & President–Nested Bean Inc.

“I have been present, committed and energized. This has enabled me to lead in a way that I didn’t think possible.”

Erik WatersChief Financial Officer / Chief Operating Officer–Adtech Systems

Section One

Seeing the Field

FINDING THE SIGNAL IN THE NOISE

The wave of life is increasing in volume, speed and intensity. Leadership matters more than ever. It is a challenge with exponentially more facets than even a decade ago. How will you expand to meet that challenge?

THE GOALS:

Increase self-integration in life and work.
Accelerate your ability to metabolize chaos.
Identify the specific skills coaches use to unlock potential.

THE PROCESS:

Work though guided analysis of leader/coach traits—where they intersect and where they do not.
Model behavior of skilled leaders who orient quickly in crisis.
Learn three powerful contextual tools that help establish coaching frameworks.
Discover through complexity science how personal and team growth evolve on an organic path from chaos to self-organization.

Section Two

Ride the Wave

MOVING FROM CHAOS TO CLARITY

As long as we pay attention to the right things, we can experience lives of continual growth and meaning. Coaching is a relationship designed to organically accelerate that journey for yourself and others.

THE GOALS:

Shrink the notion that coaches and leaders are born vs. made.
Become familiar with the MindfulCEO Emergent Leadership Roadmap.
Confront the leader’s choice—coactivating “being” and “doing.”

THE PROCESS:

Dimensionalize your leadership skill set by understanding when circumstances favor shifting from a supervisory posture to a coaching posture.
Identify the three phases of emergence, from chaos to complexity to self-organization, and master the coaching tools that work best in each phase.
Anchored by neurobiological theory, learn how humans make and change meaning through story—and how to magnify coaching impact by using this self-authoring tool.

NURTURE THE SPACE WITHIN

Mindfulness is all the rage today—even in the hard-nosed corporate setting. How do you separate the fad and fluff from the real stuff that can forge high-trust teams and successfully navigate even the most stressful and chaotic situations?

THE GOALS:

Understand how mindfulness shapes fertile proving grounds for personal and team performance.
Acquire the specific tools that both develop your own mindfulness and allow you to coach it in others.
Improve perception of how the senses work together to filter reality. Experience the quiet mind and how it sharpens analysis and decision-making.

THE PROCESS:

Travel together through the challenging (and revealing) process of self-determination—asking the questions, who do I choose to be, and what is my work?
Debate the facets of a leadership role—supervisor, manager, mentor, teacher, facilitator, sponsor, friend and, ultimately, coach.
Master the specific, intentional steps required to harness the energy and attitude of coaching.
Move past the pejorative connotations of “mindfulness” that have come from pop psychology and learn the functional skills of being truly present that produce peak performance.
Learn everyday coping strategies for dealing with potentially overwhelming information, pressure and expectation. (Meditation for math majors!)

Section Four

Build the Bridge

ACQUIRE THE TOOLS TO SELF-AUTHOR

“Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.” ― Viktor E. Frankl

The possibilities in the gap Frankl describes are infinite. How we mine the gap is the difference between day and night. Everything we have learned so far merges to support your ability to author your life in the stimulus and response—and science has the proof. Coaching is a formative tool for activating self-authoring.

THE GOALS:

Take control of and craft the stories we tell—to ourselves and others—that form our reality.
Use the power of attention and imagination to remove limits and avoid unintended impacts.
Begin to coach your leaders to notice and take control of their story.

THE PROCESS:

Anchored in the science of neurobiology, learn how the mind manages information and energy to “make” meaning.
Become aware of changes in the reactive calculus of our prior experiences and how they can lead to incorrect conclusions and self-sabotaging behaviors.
Discover the gap between stimulus and response, and reassert your power over that transaction.

Section Five

Bring it Together

THE POWER OF PLAY IN THE FIELD OF ONE

The genius of great coaches? Creating a bedrock platform from which teams can push off with freedom and focus. Here you combine your external and internal narrative into your personal leadership story.

THE GOALS:

See what the integrated MindfulCEO approach looks like in practice, and troubleshoot potential soft spots.
Understand how to take ultimate responsibility for your team and provide them with the tools they need to be great.

THE PROCESS:

Learn how to differentiate between superficial emergence and real progress toward clarity.
Master a system for grading yourself in real time so you can adapt before crisis.
Experience in real time how your leadership “antennae” operate and how that system can be improved.
