I was significantly strengthened - both in my fight to overcome my cancer - and in creating support and momentum in the company's transformation journey. I experienced getting straight into the core of the greatest challenges and inhibiting forces I personally and professionally faced. I discovered surprisingly new perspectives to understand myself, my reality, and navigate through the tensions I was in."

What is Leadership Mindset Expansion (LME)?
"Leadership Mindset Expansion" (LME) is a development concept offered to leaders who are ready to embark on a journey of self-discovery deep into their own personal foundation in order to strengthen their personal leadership and leadership of and with others.
What sets LME apart is the integration of advanced methods of self-exploration in non-ordinary states of consciousness with our longstanding practices of leader development in groups. Experiences from previous programs confirm that this expansion significantly enhances participants' opportunities to accelerate their own development process and brings about breakthroughs and transformations in the most fundamental and important themes and dilemmas they face in their own leadership and lives.
The Leadership Mindset Expansion program is offered as open courses as well as in various workshop formats for groups. It is also possible to arrange exclusive sessions for one or two participants.
““It was as if the surface membranes that shielded my attention to my inner life had cracked, fallen apart, and now lay as dry pieces behind me. I finally had full access to feel where my inner self was pulling me and the perspective and courage to take action.””
Leadership Mindset Expansion programs
The Leadership Mindset Expansion Program is a 6-month journey designed to help progressive leaders radically accelerate their personal upgrading and maturing process. Throughout the program, participants expand their repertoire of inner resources that they tap into to create development and transformation in the most fundamental and personal layers of their leadership.
During the program, participants undergo a transformation journey that is defined and unfolded "from within" - and thus completely tailored to each leader's unique challenges and developmental needs. The transformation journey is supported through ongoing interactions with other participants and LME facilitators.
LME program
LME workshop
The Leadership Mindset Expansion Workshop is a 2-day workshop designed to provide progressive teams and groups with an extraordinary experience. The approach enables each participant to connect more deeply with themselves, and the group as a whole to have an exceptional experience that most often creates a clear "before" and "after" the workshop.
Over the course of 2 days, a framework is created that allows for tangible experiences of the development and transformation potential that non-ordinary states of consciousness possess in relation to personal leadership. For the group as a whole, the experience leads to a significant strengthening of the mutual connectedness and understanding as individuals and leaders.
LME Eksklusiv
Leadership Mindset Expansion for 1-2 participants is an offering for leaders who prefer the experience to take place in an exclusive setting.
These programs are customized to the specific needs and circumstances of the client. Like in other LME programs, the focus will be on creating personal breakthroughs, dissolution of limiting patterns, expanding perspectives, and upgrading the ability to handle complexity through the "inner journey" in expanded states of consciousness.
We recommend that the LME experience is supported as a program over a few months with follow-up sessions to facilitate optimal integration of the inner journey and the desired release and upgrade of one's own leadership.
Benefits of participation
The benefits of participating in a Leadership Mindset Expansion program will always be individual, but the following effects have been consistently highlighted in feedback from previous participants:
Expanded self-awareness and decision-making power: LME helps leaders become more aware and deeply connected to their personal foundation, emotions, driving forces, and patterns, which strengthens their abilities to make crucial decisions, communicate more effectively, and execute decisions with increased determination and conviction.
Improved stress management and resilience: LME empowers leaders to navigate and handle a stressful everyday life by building resilience and a deeper grounding in their own body and personal stance.
Creativity and navigating complexity: LME provides leaders with tangible access to the resources of their unconscious mind, tapping into their deeper creativity. By exploring new ideas and perspectives, leaders significantly enhance their capacity to navigate and develop innovative solutions to complex issues.
Empathy and relations: LME enhances participants' empathy and quality of relationships, training their ability to empathize and provide quality feedback and response to others, that supports their growth processes. By connecting with their own emotions and experiences, leaders can better understand perspectives and needs of those they lead. The process expands their ability to accept and integrate diversity and very different worldviews into a more cohesive and effective leadership.
Personal expansion and "spiritual" development: Through LME, participants gain concrete, personal experience based insights into the unconscious dimensions of the psyche and the transformational potential of non-ordinary states of consciousness. This experience of the "inner self" as a source of inspiration, strengthens participants to develop and connect to a deeper sense of purpose and meaning in their work and life, and to live with authenticity. Importantly, this sense of purpose and meaning arises from their own concrete experiences rather than external sources, development "gurus," or specific ideological directions or beliefs that participants are explicitly or implicitly expected to accept. Through LME programs, participants tap into their inner world, and the conscious "ego" witnesses the transformative experiences that arise from their own "Self" and the collective unconscious (ref. C.G. Jung/Grof).
““We are all embarking on a profound journey towards a more Regenerative leadership. It calls for us to courageously work with ourselves in new ways to gain easier access to the great wisdom that resides within each of us and in the collective unconscious.””
““As a coach and facilitator, my work more and more revolves around empowering individuals to push the boundaries for what is possible, both for themselves and their leadership. LME is the most powerful and transformative leadership development concept I know of.””
The methodology employed in Leadership Mindset Expansion programs
The work during the development programs will be experienced as an interplay between:
Personal immersion and clarification of one's own reality and deeper choices - here and now.
Interpersonal connection and feedback among participants, both in "buddy teams" and within the larger group.
Sessions incorporating inner journeys in non-ordinary states of consciousness using the self-exploration method "Holotropic Breathwork."
Creative approaches and methods for self-reflection, such as "active imagination" inspired by Carl Gustav Jung.
Webinars and one-on-one follow-up sessions to enhance integration and anchoring.
All programs are supported by a thorough documentation concept, enabling participants to revisit and reinforce the effects and anchoring of the developmental processes experienced during the program sessions.
Holotropic Breathwork
The self-exploration method Holotropic Breathwork (HB) has been practiced worldwide for many decades and was developed by M.D., Ph.D. Stanislav Grof and Christina Grof. The method is based on Stan Grof's more than 60 years of intensive research into the transformative potential of expanded states of consciousness. Follow the link for details on the method: http://www.holotropic.com/holotropic-breathwork/about-holotropic-breathwork/
“Stanislav Grof is one of the most influential figures in modern psychology. He has made a name for himself through fascinating research on expanded states of consciousness and holotropic breathwork therapy.”
