the course connects the idea to the realities of leadership and teamwork.
PSL is an experiential workshop. While there are plenty of new models and readings provided, the course connects the idea to the realities of leadership and teamwork.

The most dynamic relationship modeling workshop that I have experienced where learning is only limited by one’s willingness to participate.

I guarantee it’ll be the best change experience you ever have
Yay! Another PSL is scheduled. You should go. I guarantee it’ll be the best change experience you ever have. I’ve been to it, and 5 or 6 change shops (AYE etc) since 2010 and not a day goes by I don’t get an ‘aha!’ moment.
the 10th anniversary of when I attended this and not a day goes by where an ‘aha!’ moment doesn’t bubble up to the surface
We’re coming up on the 10th anniversary of when I attended this and not a day goes by where an ‘aha!’ moment doesn’t bubble up to the surface. If you’re looking for an experience where a bunch of talking head experts will fill you with great ideas over PowerPoint, look elsewhere. If you want an experience that’ll push your boundaries of thinking, this is for you.
It helped me discover many faulty assumptions about myself as well as several epiphanies
I was lucky enough to go in 2000. It helped me discover many faulty assumptions about myself as well as several epiphanies about why I was good in some areas of my career.
Still learning nine years later
Nine years later, I’m still learning from my PSL experience. I received valuable insights into my own behaviours as a leader. I have used those insights many times over the past nine years. Every time I look back, I learn new things or am reminded. PSL was the best investment in my personal growth, and I would recommend it to anyone.

Esther and Don have saint-like patience and the best poker faces in the business. Their ability to observe and help draw out insights is so valuable compared to facilitators who just plain give information. Thank you!
