The Program &
The Ourcome
A powerful and provocative week-long workshop bringing together the most recent advances in the behavioral sciences with spiritual insights from both East and West. The goal is to heighten personal power and enhance leadership capabilities. Presented by John Scherer and Dorota Nawalaniec, both pioneers in development programs for leaders and managers equipped to create and sustain high-performance organizations.
LDI is NOT Leadership Training, it is Leadership DEVELOPMENT.
- 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.
The Venue
This holistic personal development experience will take place in the stunningly beautiful Tatra mountains – Bukovina Tatrzańska. Have a look at few photos from Bukovina Hotel & Spa, where we will host you all 5 days.
Since 1980, over 1000 leaders around in 55 countries have graduated from this powerful program.
Why join?
- Develop and utilize more fully your leadership EQ skills and capacities.
- Live and work more effectively with ‘difficult’ people and situations.
- Address un-resolvable conflicts with courage and grace.
- Become an authentic communicator who can hear and be heard more deeply.
- Distinguish problems-to-be-solved from polarities-to-be-managed.
- Become more ‘agile’ and self-aware in the face of work challenges.
- Tell the difference between ‘technical’ problems that require expert authority and ‘adaptive challenges’ that require facilitative leadership.
- Turn work experiences into leadership lessons.
The 5 Questions that are main framework of the LDI
What CONFRONTS me?
What challenging and difficult situations – “tigers” – do I need to face?
What am I BRINGING?
What is my history with similar situations, what are my expectations, my hopes and fears, my predictions?
What RUNS me?
What is my ‘default’ way of handling things like this?
How am I on ‘automatic’ without realizing it, and how does that impact my effectiveness?
How am I limiting my options?
What CALLS me?
What “inside” strengths and capabilities call out to be expressed more fully in my life and work?
What kind of “outside” situations call for my attention?
What will UNLEASH me?
What will empower me to step into my fu 11 potential I’ve had insights before.
What will make this experience different?
From The Author
To be most effective, leaders must be on their own path of continuous learning and development. "Mastery'' implies a lifelong process aimed at integrating the deep principles upon which human life is based. Unfortunately, in the modem workplace, those basic human principles are too easily overlooked and forgotten. People who make things happen around them are actually making things happen inside themselves first. They become sources for inspiration, effective action, energy and new direction, rather than simply reacting to changes which are forced on them from outside. As noted in Steven Covey's best-selling book, SEVEN HABITS OF EFFECTIVE PEOPLE, "private victories precede public ones.”

Is it Time for a New Paradigm in the Workplace? Coming back to the basics.
Current concepts of leadership and high performance have taken us as far as they can. While psychology and management science produced helpful guidelines for enhancing personal and organizational capabilities, they aren’t adequate to resolve many of the problems facing us.
Profound problems require profound solutions. And these are not going to come from managers and staff who are thinking in old patterns. We know we are in the grip of outmoded paradigms, but how do we get out?!
This intensive week-long program will explore the fundamental principles -the forgotten basics – that guide the human spirit. With new insight, energy and motivation, you can make more of a difference in the transformation of your workplace and your own life.
Those who know much about others may be learned, but those who understand themselves are even wiser.
Those who control many may be powerful, but those who have mastered themselves are even more powerful.
- Lao Tzu

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.
