Balanced Mastery in Work & Life (Flagship Course)
Rick’s Professional Balance was one of the first hardcover books to connect balance with achievement. Balanced Mastery teaches that balance is the tool and achievement is the goal. The program links personal and work priorities to approach mastery in selected areas of achievement. The Mastery Circle assessment tool gives a visual and quantitative picture of five top priorities in life, and the 10 Achievement Factors show how top performers keep equilibrium while attaining high goals.
Leadership Skills, Cases, & Secrets
The course argues that leadership goes beyond planning, organizing, directing and controlling. It emphasizes vision, example-setting, theory, methods and case studies. Team Survival Simulations force participants to show natural reactions; the debrief and filming are positioned as routes to lasting improvement.
High Performing Teams
This team development program is built on Balanced Mastery and the idea that well-rounded people are often the best innovators. It is intended to complement full-day speaking programs, the speech component of the Griggs Mastery Academy, and the ‘Speaking of Wednesdays’ Presentation Skills series.
Communication & Interpersonal Skills
