Inner Leadership:

Becoming an Extraordinary Leader

WHO:

This course is for the established or aspiring leader who aims for greatness.  You have big dreams and untapped capacity, and you want to harness them in order to create the change that you want to see in your world.  

You may also be aware of some persistent internal stumbling blocks or unhelpful patterns that get in the way of achieving your goals, and you’re ready to address them.  Issues like impostor syndrome, unclear boundaries, persistent frustration, and defensiveness.

Both the rocket fuel for your journey and the means to jettison the internal baggage weighing you down come from the same source: the depth and quality of your relationship with yourself.
This will be focus of the course.

WHAT: 

This eight-month, highly-interactive online course was created to strengthen your inner self-leadership—the bedrock of becoming a remarkable leader of others.

Under the guidance of Dr. Keith Merron, author of The Art of Transformational Coaching, and an experienced team of certified Avista Leadership Group coaches, you will:

  • Become an expert student of your own operating system, identifying patterns (and their sources) that keep you from living up to your potential

  • Design a transformational goal tailored to your unique situation and pursue it in the company of other leaders–supporting and learning from each other

  • Emerge with a stronger, clearer, easier, and more confident sense of yourself as a person and a leader

  • Acquire invaluable tools and skills to move you forward in your leadership journey

  • Learn to approach yourself with deeply curious and compassionate inquiry

  • Purposely develop, practice, and embody new ways of being

The course sessions will be on Zoom, with recordings available afterward.  In addition, there will be supplemental videos to address key concepts and emerging questions, as well as a detailed workbook. 

WHEN:  

The course begins January 18, 2024, and meets on Thursdays at 10:00 AM Pacific for 18 two-hour sessions. 

The program meets weekly for the first few weeks to build a solid foundation, and then switches to a bi-weekly rhythm. Between the large group sessions, you will have the opportunity for regular small group and 1:1 coaching as part of the package, based on arrangements with your assigned coach.

WHY:  

Leadership is an inside job: it begins with your relationship with yourself. The stronger that relationship, the more effective you can be, and the farther you will go.   

Many of our unproductive patterns are reflections and projections of our relationship with ourselves. Unless we address them, they will continue to emerge as we engage with our colleagues, organizations, and the world, and hamstring our progress.

Finally, you will learn invaluable concepts, tools, and skills to continue your transformational journey in your leadership as well as other areas of your life.

Free Workshop Recording

Inner Authority: The Essential Element of Remarkable Leadership

This free 90-minute workshop focuses on what we’ve learned to be the source of problematic leadership patterns and what you can do to address them.  It was recorded during live Zoom events in November 2023.

In the workshop you will discover:

  • Important features of how you operate and the key forces that give rise to the leadership patterns you want to change

  • A powerful perspective-changing view that will point you toward the path of remarkable leadership

  • A way of thinking and being that will meaningfully help you to unstick the patterns that get in the way of your own greatness as a leader 

At the end of the workshop, we also share information about the full 8-month Inner Leadership course, which is designed to develop and strengthen the quality of inner self-leadership that is essential for becoming an extraordinary leader of others. 

Both the free workshop and the course are spearheaded by Dr. Keith Merron, a pioneer in the art of transformational coaching and author of eight books on leadership and organizational life. Keith is supported by a team of highly experienced colleagues who are veterans of coaching, organizational change, leadership development, and reputation management.
