Instrumental Self Leadership Program

The Instrumental Self Leadership Program is a transformative professional development and learning experience designed to equip both emerging and established leaders with the knowledge, skills, and awareness to effectively lead from within.

About the Program

Grounded in neuroscience, adult learning theory, and organizational psychology, the Instrumental Self Leadership (ISL) program cultivates mindful, inclusive, and emotionally intelligent leadership by integrating self-awareness, identity work, and evidence-based practices. Participants in the program will benefit from a dynamic blend of real-time learning and group discussions during live virtual sessions. They will also have individual reflection and application opportunities between sessions. This approach not only enhances the integration of new concepts but also encourages thoughtful preparation and fosters a deep connection with oneself in both engaged and reflective contexts.

Introducing the Instrumental Self Leadership (ISL) MOSAIC

MOSAIC is a conceptual framework that becomes a unique and individualized expression of your instrumental self-leadership. Developed as part of the Instrumental Self Leadership (ISL) Program, MOSAIC is introduced and expanded upon through two 1:1 coaching sessions and four live, interactive virtual cohort sessions—along with reflective pre- and post-session work. More than a résumé or CV, ISL MOSAIC is a structured, living document—a reflective, human-centered map of who you are and who you are becoming. It captures the layered complexity of your leadership identity: how your lived experiences, feedback, aspirations, values, strengths, and beliefs shape the way you lead, relate, and grow. Each letter in the acronym represents a distinct facet of your instrumental self. Through guided reflection and creative expression in your Leadership Development MOSAIC Workbook, you’ll explore each dimension and design corresponding “tiles”—written, visual, or symbolic representations of that part of your leadership identity. These tiles form your evolving MOSIAC—a personal and professional self-portrait in motion.
