PERSONAL MASTERY MODEL
Deborah Blake Dempsey’s personal mastery model encourages individuals to cut through their self-perceptions by exploring their unique strengths and capabilities and meaningfully impacting their personal and professional lives. Deborah helps clients achieve transformative growth and rediscover their true selves by aligning their actions with their self-defined values and vision.
Personal mastery means pushing up against your resistance and fears and betting on yourself, your efforts, and your possibilities so that you can transform your life into a vision that matches your values and desires. Leader-Shifting is getting at the root of who you are, what matters to you, how you connect and communicate, what inspires your thoughts, what moves your emotions, and what determines and motivates you into action. It is how you define integrity, why you take your stances, and how you interact with the people in your world.
PROACTIVE POWER ALIGNMENT
Dr. Betty Woodman’s ProActive Power Alignment illuminates power dynamics and effective ways to respond to challenges while strengthening your most powerful, personalized leadership styles.
Dr. Woodman’s business experience and research led her to develop the Life Alignment and ProActive Power Alignment Frameworks. The roots of these frameworks can be traced to the course approach described in her Men’s Studies Press chapter, “Shifting Views.” Her relational integrity programs reflect gender socialization themes from her thesis, “Passionate Entanglements,” and dissertation, “Sustainability Mindset.”

UNLEASH YOUR BOLDEST SELF
IN LIFE AND AT WORK
10-Week Program Beginning February 7, 2024
This 10-week program looks at what it means to be your boldest self, how your way of being bold is unique to you, and ways to cultivate your most powerful personal expression.
To achieve this, we’ll explore personal mastery and how you can become your best self by examining how you see yourself and identifying your values, habits, and goals so that you become the most confident and powerful YOU. We’ll also look at both productive and unproductive forms of power, including “power-over” yourself, e.g., perfectionism, inner judge, anxiety, and the limiting social stories and norms that keep you from your full expression, including male and female gender socialization. With this insight and effective personalized strategies, you can claim your freest, most powerful, and most rewarding way of being: your boldest self.
We’ll have conversations in 1:1, small group, and cohort formats.
Dr. Riane Eisler will be a guest speaker during the program. She will discuss her inspiring story and explore the distinctions between partnership and dominator systems and cultures.
