What makes this unique program so effective?
Our leading-edge, science-based, practical 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. the Leadership Intelligence Toolbox and the support that you will receive will make real-time self-awareness, self-management, motivation, empathy and wellbeing reliably and rapidly achievable.
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 in real life. The ongoing support makes it easier to integrate your new skills into your daily work.
Tailored for you, to help you achieve your own personal goals
We tailor our approach to each individual and create team dynamics for optimal leadership development. You will be motivated to learn these new skills by experiencing direct, positive impact on your work performance and wellbeing.

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.

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.
