Overview

Learn how the evidence-based Internal Family Systems Self-leadership framework can take your leadership and love life to new heights

Did you know that the same parts of a personality that contribute to insecurities, conflicts and mediocrity in leadership are the same parts that contribute to unfulfilling and challenging romantic experiences, devoid of joy and deep emotional intimacy? The foundation of great leadership and an amazing love life is the same—Self-leadership. CLIMAX: Why Great Leaders Need Love Affairs is a leadership fable of two mediocre leaders who come to a crossroads: either do the inner work to shed the masks and egos or become another statistical casualty by joining the two-thirds of leaders who fail. Learn the root causes of leadership failures that traditional leadership development paradigms and books do not address.
