A Pathway to Personal Success

Part One

Achieve personal mastery as you transcend challenges and learn secrets of soaring new heights.

Mastery:
“ascendancy or victory in struggle or competition.”
[Webster’s New World Dictionary]

Masters are the victors of life, those who step up to the challenges and opportunities of life with the courage, determination, and wisdom to win the private and public victories.

Mastery does not happen by accident. It is a process that occurs as we interact effectively with the events and circumstances of our lives. Each moment of our lives provides an opportunity to practice mastery by expanding our visions, awakening the faculties of our minds and our hearts, and assuming full responsibility for living, growing, and contributing.

What You Can Expect

People who attend this program will learn a set of principles that will change the way they view their lives as well as their performance on the job. They will grow in selfunderstanding, confidence, personal effectiveness, and their ability to handle the challenges/opportunities of the workplace. Such personal transformation forms the foundation for organizational transformation.

Principles of Self-Mastery

  • The Integrity Model:

    • A paradigm of personal effectiveness that defines success
    as what happens within you rather than what happens to you

  • Embrace Reality:

    • Discover power and fulfillment as you stop wasting time
    resenting, complaining, wishing, and blaming and instead
    keep your focus on what you can control

  • Exercise Responsibility:

    • See how success and quality of life come from choices made
    and learn to act rather than react to the events of your life

  • Conquer Your Key Moments:

    • Learn how to conquer and transcend the challenges of life
    by changing your thinking, feelings, and behavior

  • Clarify Your Vision:

    • Know what you want and the steps that you must take to achieve it.
