Why This Workshop Matters

Most leaders want excellence. Many expect it. But few know how to create it – and even fewer know how to sustain it without burning out. This isn’t about grinding harder. It’s about transforming smarter.

EYES ARE USELESS WHEN THE MIND IS BLIND

What You’ll Experience

In this powerful 2-day interactive workshop, you’ll discover a proven, repeatable process for achieving and sustaining excellence in every area of your life—from leadership and team culture to personal growth and family dynamics as well as full-scale organizational transformation.

You’ll Learn:

  • Why culture really does “eat strategy for breakfast”
  • How to identify and change hidden beliefs that sabotage your success
  • Why forced diversity fails—and how unity that celebrates diversity wins
  • How to build intentionally excellent teams
  • How to replace:
    • Kissing-up with honest transparency
    • Buck-passing with co-accountability
    • Conflict avoidance with candid communication
    • Mediocrity with Excellence

Scientific Assessment + Action Plan

You’ll take a scientific assessment to uncover the subconscious beliefs holding you and your team back. Then, you’ll leave with a written action plan and AI Driven Mobile App to begin your transformation immediately and sustain it forever.

10-Week Sustainment Program

Your journey doesn’t end after the workshop. It’s only just beginning!

You’ll receive:

  • Twice-daily audio podcasts for 10 weeks

Culture-Monster-Friendly-272x300.png

He’s the dark side of human nature who sabotages your teamwork, foils your New Year’s Resolutions and Corporate Change Initiatives.

He fills your life with stress and anxiety, drives you to work harder instead of smarter and EATS YOUR BEST STRATEGIES FOR BREAKFAST!

You’ll learn how to stop him in his tracks, shut him down and keep out of your life, team and business!

If insanity is doing the same thing and expecting different results, then doing the same thing harder with more effort is derangement. Sure, you might see short-term gains—but the long-term cost is stress, exhaustion, burnout and even early death.

Learn how to create, live and sustain excellence in yourself, your team and your family by transforming smarter instead of grinding harder.
