Pillar 02 · Personal Development
Who you are becoming, while you lead.
The leaders who last are not the ones who became more skilled. They are the ones who became more themselves - convictions clearer, character firmer, the gap between the public role and the private person closed. Personal Development at TPDG is the work nobody else in your organisation can do for you.
The case
Most leadership development looks at what a leader does. Personal development looks at who the leader is.
The two are inseparable in the long run. Convictions get tested. Character gets observed. The gap between the public version of you and the private version of you closes one way or another - either deliberately or accidentally.
This pillar covers the work that goes underneath the title: identity, calling, integrity, energy, and the practices that hold a senior leader together for the long haul. It is also where we work with leaders moving through significant transitions - stepping up, stepping back, stepping out.
How we can work together
Built around the work you actually need.
A focused program for leaders working on something specific underneath the title - a calling question, a character pattern they want to address, an identity transition. 1:1 with Ken or a contracted coach.
Start a conversation →For leaders re-examining their calling, considering a major change, or working through the second-half-of-life questions that catch most senior leaders by surprise.
Start a conversation →For leaders already in Foundation, Core, or Executive coaching, personal development work is woven through the engagement - roughly a third of every conversation.
Start a conversation →Not sure where to start?
Start with a conversation.
In person or on Zoom. We work through what is on your plate, name what good would look like, and — only if it is right — design the engagement together. Every engagement is shaped around you.
