Zen Leader 3

Leading Transformation

How can you make shifts in yourself that shift what happens? What would your life and leadership look like if freed from ego-based limits? What would it be like to live and lead as your whole Self?

Time to find out.

Complete your journey through the “flips” of Zen Leadership, reclaim your connected Self, and lead transformation from inside out

  • Identify ways you limit yourself and how to stop doing it

  • Practice the key ingredients for manifesting intention

  • Leverage the science of resonance and heart-brain coherence to create a desired future

  • Experience the liberating and manifesting energy currents and their connection to transformation

  • Flip from your usual-suspect, local self to your whole Self and see how that changes everything

  • Experience the difference between “host” and “guest” – the final flip of Zen Leadership – and the connection to joy, wisdom, and resilience

  • Apply all that you’re learning to a real-life project of your choosing; support colleagues and be supported in implementing your transformation project

Transformation and Impact:

“We all get stuck sometimes because we forget who we are. This program will remind you.”

Courtney Amo, public servant, yoga teacher, coach, author

“The design and instruction of the course are masterful and the learning gets put right into your bones through the practices. You can’t help but walk away as a different person - with a new vision manifesting through a new body, and with clearer intention in each new step.”

Kelly Bannister, Ph.D., Biocultural Ethicist

"ZL3 reinforces learning from the first two courses and takes you beautifully to the clear definition of a transformation project.
You leave equipped with all the resources you will need for it to succeed - so long as you keep breathing!"

Katharine Bourke, Director, Combe Reed Associates

Frequently Asked Questions

  • As long as you have a foundation in Zen Leadership, i.e., from ZL1, you can take ZL3 before ZL2. But you’ll want to pick up ZL2 later as the 3 programs work together as a set.

  • We design our online agendas with options, so that they work with time zones around the world. When necessary, we also record sessions so that no one has to attend beyond midnight local time.

  • No worries, we can transfer your registration forward to a future offering or you may be eligible for a refund. See our cancellation policy here.

  • You still qualify to attend the program. If you’re committed to making a positive difference in your personal or professional life, you fit our definition of leader, and we’re here to help you do it better.

  • No, our training is compatible with any religion or none at all. We introduce physical Zen training, including meditation, to help you break through barriers and free the mind. We don't ask you to believe anything; our training is more like a foundation for enriching your life.
