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.
BUSINESS CULTURE ALIGNMENT
Dr. Betty Woodman’s business culture 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 Business Culture 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.”
