Leadership Breakthrough: Walk the Talk of Change (WTTC), is an extremely powerful leadership development process designed for individual executives, leaders, and leadership teams. Many leaders describe it as “life and career changing” because of its deeply personal nature, and its application to both business and personal life. WTTC is about pursuing breakthroughs within yourself to generate breakthroughs in your work and life. We help you identify the personal breakthroughs you are after when you enter the program. Then, throughout the program, we show you how to achieve those breakthroughs.
The purpose of Leadership Breakthrough: Walk the Talk of Change is to catalyze breakthroughs in leaders’ awareness, behavior and skill that radically improve the quality of their individual performance, relationships, team performance, and their ability to lead their organizations to extraordinary business and cultural outcomes.
Leadership Breakthrough is affectionately called “Walk the Talk” by participants because it enables them to do just that – to consistently express their Best Self in their daily actions. You will find that this consistent leadership modeling of your new, positive ways of being, working and relating will impacts your people and culture in powerful ways. It deeply changes how you engage and relate with others, including your family and friends.
Walk the Talk is founded on the fundamental principle that all human excellence comes from within, from one’s ability to access higher states of Being, often called being in “the zone” or “flow.” WTTC teaches leaders and teams the inner dynamics of optimal performance and human development, and how to apply them in their self-leadership and leadership of others.
Each WTTC program is shaped by and delivers outcomes unique to participants’ most pressing agendas, like implementing key business strategies, solving market or customer challenges, innovating, or transforming culture. The experiences you have and what you learn apply directly to achieving yours and your most essential organizational outcomes.

The agenda of Leadership Breakthrough: Walk the Talk of Change includes these key topics:
The sum of all this growth and development is breakthrough – individually, in relationships, and in your team. And these breakthroughs can be applied to solving your organization’s biggest challenges – no matter what they are.
When you and your team members consistently bring your best game, success is virtually guaranteed.
You become unstoppable.
Communication is the grease in every human endeavor. Openness, speaking one’s truth and listening for understanding without judgment – these behaviors are what makes teams thrive. Imagine your team with a new level of communication, trust, collaboration and alignment.
What could you accomplish then?
Learn the inner dynamics of high performance and how to manage your inner state to access what Olympic athletes call the “flow” or “zone.”
Imagine being able to remain centered, calm, focused, and confident in the midst of your greatest challenges – even in situations that currently trigger you emotionally. Think of how you would apply this capability to all aspects of your leadership and life.
Learn how to transform your self-limiting mindsets, emotional and behavioral patterns.
This enables you to adopt new, more effective perspectives and worldviews, and new ways of being, working and relating. It opens new horizons of performance, leadership and transformation.
Like every human being, you have a comfort zone, a habitual way you see yourself, others and the world. This determines how you engage. Some of your patterns are positive. Others are not.
With our help, in Walk the Talk you discover your edges, so you can grow beyond them to greater levels of personal excellence.
When you enter Leadership Breakthrough: Walk the Talk of Change, you are supported by a personal coach to identify your breakthrough – the most essential change you can make in yourself that will positively impact everything, not just in your leadership, but in your life.
Achieving your personal breakthrough develops rare and well sought-after leadership traits. It expands your mindset and worldview, so you can solve complex 21st Century challenges.
You become a transformational leader in the truest sense of the word because you learn to transform both yourself and your organization or community. This unleashes your ability to make your biggest contribution as a leader.
