To be optimally productive, it is not merely enough to possess functional skills required for the job or the current role being played. Research suggests that only 15% of one's success depends on technical skills and 85% of one's success depends on behavioral skills or what has come to be known as soft skills. While it is known that developing soft skills is an important aspect of learning, there are also corresponding mindsets that must be inculcated for long lasting positive change and growth. In this 14 months comprehensive program, participants are exposed to all fundamental aspects of behavioral sciences training for complete personal and professional development.

 

Leadership begins with ‘Self’. The way towards Self Leadership is by learning how to lead one's inner world and outer world . This is the focus of the iLEAD Program.

​

THE APPROACH

​

Broadly there are two world views when it comes to optimizing human potential. One focuses on the outer world (usually skills-oriented) and the other on the inner world (usually mindset-oriented).

 

In the famous movie, 'Eat, Pray, Love', Julia Roberts goes to Italy (the West) to Eat and enjoy life, and she goes to India (the East) to Pray and find her spirituality. So geographically, and culturally, the Western part of the world is more known for its “outward” orientation in terms of seeking material success while the Eastern part of the world is more known for its “inward” orientation in terms of seeking philosophical and spiritual advancement. However both are needed to function and live optimally. Both Happiness and Leadership are needed. Both mindsets and skillsets are needed. One behavioral skill set along with it's related mindsets is what we call a Meta-Skill. We must learn the Meta-Skills to master both our inner worlds and outer worlds. Similarly, often we hear of ‘work-life’ balance, where people tend to separate their personal lives ( inner world) from their professional lives (outer world) and often struggle to ‘balance’ both. Often that is difficult, because the individual is ‘one’. We offer a more efficient perspective and solution: Alignment.

 

Based on Meta Mind Alignment, the new science of Leadership and Happiness, the iLEAD Leadership Development Program offers a blend of western modern management thought and practices with eastern timeless wisdom, and brings to you 14 workshops ( 7 focused largely on the inner world and 7 on the outer world) to help you navigate through the challenges of life you may encounter in both your personal and professional life.

 

Meta Mind Alignment research reveals 14 key Meta-Skills, 7 of which are needed to lead our own ‘inner world’ i.e. manage and influence self, and 7 which are needed to lead our ‘outer world’ i.e. manage and influence others, towards the  achievement of life goals

 

These may be learnt on a need-basis or as a package program of all 14 workshops. For true alchemical transformation to occur we recommend that each individual learns all 14 Meta-Skills (skill sets and related mindsets) so that Happiness and Leadership become habits at the individual level and an integral part of the culture at the organizational level. A successful completion of all 14 workshops entitles the participant to be certified as a Meta Mind Master Practitioner.
