PERSONAL MASTERY, LEADERSHIP & RENEWAL

A Five Month Course

We have entered a new era for human beings — and haven’t quite recognized it, or named it. It is an era of change, turbulence and innovation so profound that it has altered and will continue to alter the very way we live our lives. This change we are undergoing is as extensive as the shift from hunting and gathering to agriculture or as extensive as the shift from agriculture to industry. Although the speed at which profound alteration must take place is without parallel in human history, this era also provides us with a rare opportunity to re-create what it means to be human.

In this decade of accelerated change, we are being challenged to perform and change in ways that are outside of what we currently know. Such transformation calls for alert, challenged and inventive people—people who are flexible in the face of change, who bring their spirit and imagination to bear on the problems and issues at hand.

The skills and abilities we have developed and fostered thus far no longer will work in this new era. We are being asked to live and work as leaders from the level of vision, meaning and purpose. As human beings, are we prepared to live and work from vision in our daily life? Have we developed a capacity for consistently renewing ourselves no matter what changes or circumstances occur in our lives?

In this five-month long course, we will be working at the very ground of being for human beings. What will it mean to be a human being in the decades before us? We will inquire into what gives our spirit meaning and purpose. How will we contribute our purpose to our family, our friends, our work, and the rest of the world? What gets in the way of us living at this level of vision and purpose, honoring each other’s diversity and creating a sense of belonging? What are the conversations that constitute our identity in this world? Given the accelerated change that is occurring in the world, what would better serve us than what is currently available?
