The My Kinda Life® Foundation - For Teams
A Unique Leadership Development Programme Helping Teams Create a Competitive Edge From The Inside-Out
How individuals meet and treat themselves determines how they meet, and treat other people.
If individuals meet themselves with brutality, and disallow their full emotional experience, they inadvertently disallow it in others too. This can dramatically impair the impact and power of how well teams function. When individuals learn to meet and treat themselves (and their experiences) with companionability and kindness, they will be able to empathise with and relate to others with ease – laying the foundations for being effective and productive team members.
This unique leadership development programme guides teams through the methodology outlined in my book My Kinda Life® to help change deeply held beliefs and behaviours that now don’t serve the team’s mission, so individuals can become more effective team members and find more fulfillment and happiness through their work.

THE MY KINDA LIFE® FOUNDATION PROGRAMME
Month 1 - Your Unique Team Template
Discovering Inner Brutality Templates
In the first month we explore the ways the inner brutality of your team members scuppers success, and prevents everyone from enjoying their work. We discover your unique team template; identifying areas for improvement, so that team members can behave in a way that creates the positive impact you seek.
Month 2 - Emotional Palette Extension
Embracing Uncomfortable Emotions
We all leave childhood and enter adulthood with an emotional palette suited to our family style. This most often means we are less comfortable with certain emotions compared to others. To lead a happy and fulfilling life (and work well in a team) individuals have to extend and fill their palette up to all emotions. We focus on strategies for this in month 2.
Month 3 - Installing Companionability
Challenging Deeply Held Beliefs
We make decisions about who we are based on what we’ve been through. Learning and installing companionability to yourself is essential for empathy with others. Companionability with all your experiences creates a competitive and resilient edge to your teams. This is a rarely tapped resource that the My Kinda Life® Foundation Programme allows teams access to.
