WHO IS THIS COURSE FOR?
What Makes The Leadership
Dojo Unique?
It’s having true behavioral flexibility when you're working with a group. You can flow and lead according to their needs rather than forcing them to play by your rules.
Great facilitation frees a group to think, feel, and act as a dynamic whole. It invites healthy conflict and genuine commitment.
It's more a set of ideas and principles working together, rather than a rigid plan.
This kind of leader is a master context creator and can display true flexibility stemming from experience and training— the kind of training you’ll receive in the leadership dojo.

Coaching with David has allowed me to think about my business, my teams, and my conscious leadership in all new ways.
He possesses the qualities of a sherpa who's helping you to climb what seems like Mt. Everest on a daily and weekly basis. I recommend any leader of any organization or household, whether you are a manager or an executive or a teacher or public official who is interested and committed to doing things in a whole and better way. If you are really thinking infinitely and expansively at real true human potential than I would recommend you get coaching with David Young.
You won't regret it.
