How do CEOs justify this for their team?
Many times it's difficult for a CEO to evaluate a situation so close and personal. The admission process takes this seriously and suggests consideration of how much the issues impact the organization in lower productivity, missed opportunities, reduced competitiveness, lost sales, declining morale, disappointing profitability, or lack of fun and personal happiness. The critical question is does the annual impact of these issues justify the cost in addressing them, and what is at stake if nothing is done?

We've used consultants before but they seem to rely on trendy business models to tell us how to run our business better, why should we consider an your alternative?
The Institute’s approach is designed to expose trendy business models and only uses those validated as timeless methods proven scientifically with a track record longer than the latest bestseller. In addition, our philosophy is to help participants self-discover their nature and power to address the issues versus a codependency on an outside resource.

We've had questionable success with expert theories and my team is a little cynical. How will the Institute be any different?
It's not uncommon for participants to comment that the Institute’s proprietary methods are uniquely different. The implementation dimension of the programs ensure that results are realized, not just theoretical knowledge.

Could your approach be too advanced for my management team?
The Institute has been attended by start-ups to 100-year old organizations, large and small, with all levels of participant experience. In each case the methods used produced blinding flashes of obvious truth that were not beyond anyone’s capacity to understand.

Is your approach a little touchy-feely?
On the contrary, participants usually joke they would like more touchy-feely as the real issues are addressed! It's not that the programs are vicious, but high-performance is not always a fun journey without discomfort; the leadership journey is not for the faint-hearted. Our concern is how serious you are about the results you want to achieve. If you are looking for a soft approach, the Institute is probably not a fit for you.

Are these courses justifiable?
Its useful for executives to question investments of this nature given the increasing disenchantment with the high failure rate of trendy leadership programs and change initiatives. The Institute addresses this concern by being the only source that offers a guarantee on results. This allows Chief Executives to not only address immediate leadership issues with minimal risk, but to see this as a key strategic investment in the long-term success of the company rather than an operational budget item.
