A Transformational Leadership Program
Master the Inner Game is a 9-month, immersive, cohort-based training program designed to rewire the thinking that drives your leadership at the deepest level.
Grounded in the latest neuroscience and proven with senior corporate leaders across a range of industries over the past two decades, our stepwise MINDSHIFT process equips you to decode, challenge, and rewire the thought patterns and hidden biases that limit your leadership.
In this program, you’ll reshape the core of how you lead.
What makes this program different?
At the heart of this program is our proven, 5-phase roadmap to transformation: MINDSHIFT.
We built the MINDSHIFT model by integrating the pioneering work of Harvard researchers Robert Kegan and Lisa Lahey with key findings from neuroscience and rigorously optimizing the emerging process on hundreds of corporate leaders across a variety of industries. Clear, practical, and field-tested, MINDSHIFT gives you the tools you need to rewire the inner game of your leadership and achieve peak performance.
The Cohort Experience
Master the Inner Game convenes a select group of high-caliber leaders committed to taking their game to the next level.
Cohort sessions offer a confidential space for you to share emerging insights, learn out loud with peers who are also pushing their own limits, and challenge one another to continue pursuing your respective leadership goals.
Through deep trust, radical self-honesty, and mutual support, you forge lasting connections and catalyze transformation.
An Executive Coach
The Training System
You are thoughtfully paired with a MINDSHIFT executive coach who meets with you 1:1 at 14 key points in the program.
During these sessions, the coach acts as both a thought partner and pattern disruptor. They help you assess your performance across critical dimensions of leadership, reflect on your behavior in recent real-life scenarios, uncover the beliefs and assumptions driving your behavior, and pressure-test new behaviors more in step with your leadership goal.
360-Degree Assessment
Your journey begins with the Leadership Circle Profile, one of the most comprehensive leadership assessments available. The Profile gathers performance feedback from relevant stakeholders at all levels of your organization and across a range of critical leadership dimensions. Equipped with these insights, you then set a stretch goal that represents a real game-changer.
Radical self-honesty and clarity at this depth demands courage. It’s also what unlocks the potential to lead in ways you haven’t yet imagined.
Transformational Results
As your coach leads you through the 5 phases of MINDSHIFT, you will develop 7 core capabilities. The capabilities are both distinct and interconnected: each one is grounded in respected leadership research, and together they form the inner mental infrastructure required to take your leadership to the next level.

Executive Presence is defined according to Cuddy (2015), Emotional Intelligence according to Goleman (1995), and Mindfulness according to Kabat-Zinn (1994). Adaptive Intelligence is an executive-oriented adaptation of Korn Ferry’s Nimble Learning competency.
