Personal Leadership: A Year of
Living the Practices
January - Ocotober 2012 | Seattle, WA USA
We speak of Personal Leadership (PL) as a practice. And a practice requires…well, practice.
We also know that focus and attention will deepen and broaden a practice.
What would it be like if you regularly, easily gave focus and attention to your Personal Leadership practice? What would it be like to access its full power?
We know that many of us practice more regularly with the support of community.
Thus, co-facilitators Barbara Schaetti and Heather Robinson are offering
Personal Leadership: A Year of Living the Practices.
About the Seminar
Would you like to:
- Be more consistent in using Personal Leadership in your own life?
- Ensure that your vision for yourself at your highest and best is current and vibrant?
- Develop greater acuity in observing your judgments and understand their utility and limits?
- More easily recognize your emotions and what they have to tell you?
- More readily notice your physical sensations and the wisdom of your body?
- Deepen your friendship with stillness so as to better hear the quiet voice within?
- Cultivate greater ease with “not knowing” so that a “third possibility” can more often become apparent to you?
- Enjoy the fellowship of other PL practitioners and the mutual learning that is available as you live the practices together?
- Increase your ability to close the gap between “knowing what to do” and actually doing it in the moment?
If so, consider joining Personal Leadership: A Year of Living the Practices. The 9-month course begins in January and completes in October.
We will meet for seven weekends – one for each of the PL practices and a final integration session – and engage with the practices mindfully and creatively in-between meetings.
Who Should Attend: This program is primarily intended for those who have taken a PL Foundations or PL Introductions course and wish to reawaken, deepen or broaden their own PL practice. It is also highly recommended for PL Facilitators – the deeper one’s own practice, the more creative and mindful one can be in bringing PL to others. Those who have come to PL through reading the book, Making a World of Difference: Personal Leadership: A Methodology of Two Principles and Six Practices by Schaetti, Ramsey and Watanabe, and either have or would like to begin practicing PL, are also welcome.
Logistics
The Schedule: The course consists of individual practice and reflection, partner discussion and in-person meetings held near Seattle, WA.

During the meetings we will:
- Craft a frame for focusing on one of the practices, in turn
- Explore possible avenues for engaging with that practice in ways that speaks to us
- Commit to our chosen “ritual” of practice
- Articulate what we learn as we practice in this focused and intentional way
Between sessions we will:
- Live our ritual of practice
- Check in with a learning partner
- Journal what we are noticing within us as we practice
- Journal what we are noticing in our lives as we practice
