The Program &
The Ourcome
LDI is NOT Leadership Training, it is Leadership DEVELOPMENT.
From the Old French, ‘desveloper’, which means ‘to discover’, to ‘unwrap’, to ‘find’. LDI helps you discover, unwrap, find your authenc self and boost your leadership capabilities.
- Find out how your default reactions to difficult and challenging situations (‘tigers’) have been driving – and limiting – you.
- Take a big step toward changing from an ‘automatic’ to an ‘authentic’ way of living and dealing with confrontations of any kind. You are a leader and a human being.
- Discover the person inside the position. Become the leader you are capable of being. The effects are transformational and lasting.
LDI builds on your strengths and helps you discover capabilities you may have not known you possess, or ones you have been reluctant to use.
Sessions are designed to challenge your current way of thinking and expand the ways you manage yourself, thus maximizing your performance and the performance of those around you.
You will learn some powerful models and theories like The Waterline, The 3 Worlds, The Sweet Spot, TOV, Persona& Shadow, centering, mindfulness, and many more, turning your workplace into a great ‘classroom’ for personal and professional development.
Since 1980, over 1000 leaders around in 55 countries have graduated from this powerful program.

From The Author
From the Introduction to Facing the Tiger: Remember You don’t need to change yourself. You need to come home to yourself. This changes everything. . . And that means coming home to your Self. Not the little self, the one that worries all the time, tries hard to impress people, and keep up the illusion of safety and control. I mean coming home to the huge Self, the one that truly lives and loves, knows why it’s here, and can’t wait for the next sunrise. The one that yearns to encounter the next challenging person or situation, because of what will be learned in that fire. Your true Self, your higher or deeper Self, the one who is waiting to be discovered or—re-discovered. That Self.

About LDI
LDI was created in 1987 in response to a request from a dutch client for “condensed in-depth development experience” for senior executives. Since then, hundreds of leaders, managers and consultants from 30 countries have completed the programme.
It is aimed at leaders who already have some personal development experience, who are self-aware and open to deeper, more intensive transformation. It is ideal for those wishing to develop faster, to prepare for new challenges or to feel that the present moment requires new knowledge and new approaches – for anyone who wants to know themselves and experience more puprose, power and peace.

‘After the LDI you will never go back to what you tried being - you will fully be yourself. For me it was a really well-invested time - I strongly recommend the LDI.’
LDI is an experience for people who are not afraid of discovering who they really are. It is for those who are not afraid of feelings, expressing them, and ready to free themselves from barriers that they put themselves in.
