What is SkillfulMeans Leadership Lab?

“ I gained clarity on how to carve out my new role, as our business is going through a major change. I was able to challenge my assumptions and to find much more joy in my work and life. Mark Galea, Head of Finance / Azure

Effective and sustainable Our work together is based on…

Neuroscience & neurocardiology, to give us clues into what really drives people’s behavior - and what motivates people to change and develop lasting leadership traits and competencies.

Mindfulness, the science of being present - a process of regulating attention and focus, so that people can bring high resolution awareness to their daily work.

Performance coherence, a measurable state of physiological balance, where the mind and heart align. The entire physiological system becomes more regular and stable. In this harmonious state, people will perform at a higher level while maintaining their well-being.

What makes this unique program effective?

Our Program Leaders SkillfulMeans Leadership Lab is led and

facilitated by accomplished business leaders and consultants with 15+ years experience in mindfulness and performance coherence. Every teacher must successfully complete a rigorous program to ensure that they have the right mix of leadership acumen and first hand experience with teaching mindfulness and performance coherence.

Our leading edge Leadership Intelligence Toolbox (LIT) The basic principles and the LIT tools are a blend of mindfulness and performance coherence backed up by neuroscience and neurocardiology.  These tools and the support that you will receive will help you to reliably and rapidly develop: real-time self-awareness, self-management, motivation, influence, balanced empathy and well-being on a cellular level.

Learn on the job, by doing what you already do with the support that you need All those 2-5 day leadership seminars can be inspiring. But what happens when it’s over? Real change can only take hold with daily practice, and when you put your new skills to work.  The ongoing support makes it easier to integrate your new skills and habits into your daily work and make them your own. 

Tailored for you, to help you achieve your own personal goals Everyone learns in a different way and has different objectives. That is why we customize the program for each individual to solidify and amplify their leadership strengths. Participants develop the new skills by experiencing an immediate, positive impact on their performance and well-being.

“ I’ve been to other mindful leadership programs, it was inspiring, but it was difficult to apply what I learned. This program is different. I use what I learned here, everyday! Everyone on my team can benefit from the SkillfulMeans Leadership Lab.

Fabio Scheurel, Senior IT Architect / Maiborn Wolff

“ What I found valuable was the instructor leading by an actual example where you can feel that he is being that which he is telling us.

Damaris Nightingale, Senior Change Manager / Illinois Health

“ I didn’t know what to expect. My goals were to improve my stress management, self-confidence and to improve my leadership skills because I had a team to lead for the first time. I’ve learned to be a coach and I received many compliments from my team members. I gained more confidence. During my performance review, my boss also told me that she noticed a change in my behavior since starting the program, so for me that was a really big win. And it is not just others; I also feel that I am not the same person. What is most important is to be myself.  And now I am myself. I’m me with my strengths and weaknesses. I can see a big difference between the start of the class and now and I am very thankful. 

Tools that I have been given are part of my daily life, and there is not a day when I do not use what I’ve learned.

Sylvia Demetri, HR Business Partner / Guardian Industries Corp.
