The majority of my clients are business leaders, they are successful and make good money, yet most of them look beyond mere career success or money. They want to live and lead with purpose and in line with their values.
They are seeking fulfillment through their work and through their life choices, and in some way or the other, they want to make a difference. The more they connect with their values and their purpose, the more they succeed in making a meaningful impact, and the happier I see them become. And honestly.. the more powerful.
It takes presence and courage to go on such a path:
Presence: when we’re trapped in the busyness and routines of our careers, we disconnect from what is really important to us in our lives.
Courage: knowing what’s important does not necessarily lead us to do it. We need the courage of those who viscerally know themselves and what they stand for and act from this place.
What I’ve found in my own life and work is the same as I see in my clients: getting to this place of presence and courage is not an intellectual exercise. Of course, we need knowledge. But when it comes to leadership, it is fairly easy to understand the relevant concepts and tools on an intellectual level.
The challenge lies on the emotional level. The focus of our work in ADAPTAA is therefore to help our clients grow their emotional capacity.
We often hear from our clients that our programmes are so different from the typical leadership training. And it is also the reason why they have more impact: our clients learn more than methods and tools. They develop emotional depth, range, greater presence, clarity and courage. And with this, they become naturally more powerful and impactful leaders and find greater joy and fulfilment in their lives.
We have just completed two programmes that made this impact for our clients: Programme Artemis and theAudacious Leaders retreat. If you are looking for greater impact and fulfilment in your life and leadership, join us for the next rounds!
The next edition of Programme Artemis starts on 29 October 2024. You can find more information and also sign up via this link. The next Audacious Leaders Retreat is scheduled for 15 May 2025.
