How often do you take stock of your life?

Are you about to experience change – a new leadership role perhaps,
or maybe an imposed change in your work circumstances?

Are you beginning to wonder about the way your life is heading?

If these thoughts or circumstances are currently a part of your life, the PLI will provide a wonderful environment in which to address serious issues. It offers two days of 1:1 coaching, an ‘intensive’ only to the extent that maybe for the first time ever a person is setting aside two whole days solely for themselves. For a person to effectively lead others, one must look after oneself. It is the recognition that “to become an authentic and principled leader with the courage, vision, and inner strength required to lead today, one must have an extraordinary ability for self-renewal.”

What is involved?

You set aside two consecutive days in your diary – week-ends are perfectly acceptable.

You think about three goals you would like to work towards, all involving significant movement within the next 90 days. These are not all tangible goals (such as to increase sales by x amount), but much more personal intentions for learning, for discovery, or for personal development. These can include, and often do when a person is taking on a new leadership role, changes or enhancements that you wish to create in your work.

The setting is typically a rustic natural one. Some renewal activities come just from the experience of nature itself. If you would like, Aidan will include two sessions of coaching in the presence of horses. Otherwise time is set aside for personal reflection.

Day one becomes a journey of self discovery allowing the second day to work with your strengths and move towards your three goals.

The PLI is most powerful for people who have a spiritual (not necessarily religious) leaning and embark on the experience with an open mind. These two prerequisites are not essential but those who come with them will always leave transformed, absolutely engaged with their lives, and completely re-energised.

What people have said

"My PLI was an experience of being held, nurtured and facilitated in order to help me realise my goals. It was a goal-focused and practical experience, yet it simultaneously connected me with my feelings and my deeper purposes. I feel like I have been on a journey to take stock of my life and draw upon my inner wisdom in creating new goals that will help me grow and live a joyous life.

I recommend the Personal Leadership Intensive to anybody who wants to engage in their personal development at a deeper level and is looking for a safe environment that is also stimulating, challenging, and creative." Stewart Desson, Head of Learning, Insights Learning & Development UK

“I came along with a need to unravel a number of concerns about myself, my business and how the interaction between myself and it was developing. There was an urgent need to determine a clear direction in order to move forward, and a limited time in which to achieve this. I had many competing thoughts and potential avenues to explore, but no clear ultimate goal to work towards.

The PLI addressed my three primary goals by developing an internal dialogue where I have drawn on my key strengths to identify effective courses of action to follow. These actions have been further informed by a reference to an ultimate life-enhancing goal which was elicited through creative coaching.

I am now relieved of many limiting problems and frustrations. Worries and inhibitions now belong in the past. The future is bright, open and welcoming. I have more strength, will and wisdom to step forward, and some powerful tools to work with.” Mike Clarkson, Managing Consultant, Keypoint Training & Development

“The PLI is a mind-blowing experience! It uncovers things you didn’t know and could never have imagined about your leadership qualities. Aidan gently leads you through a perfectly structured yet entirely flexible programme, and keeps you focused. He moves you on in your thinking and understanding; he helps you identify the archetypes that best describe and serve you and how to use these to bring out the magnificent leader in you.

Aidan does this with tremendous respect, warmth and integrity … and he lets you off with nothing! This is not a programme which allows mediocrity or maintaining the status quo, this is a profound personal programme to develop your leadership excellence.

Thank you Aidan for taking me on this truly amazing and empowering journey, with such grace, support and intention.” Ali Stewart, Owner and Director, Ali Stewart & Co.
