SHIFT Gradpad
SHIFT®
THE SELF LEADERSHIP PATH
TOWARDS PERSONAL GROWTH
Since conventional certificates have little meaning and aren’t much fun either, we have decided to take a different approach. Our participants do not receive warm handshakes, but badges for their achievements. But only after they have really internalized the content and further improved their work through continuous feedback from trainers and their peers. We call this approach Mastery Based Learning. The badges a participant collects are collected on a gamified report card, the GRADPAD.
During the hybrid 8-week SHIFT® Growth Path all participants will have completed a total of 60 hours of face-to-face and remote classwork plus another 30 hours self-directed learning and mastermind work to develop their individual self-leadership framework.
-
- A four-day immersive retreat weekend with interactive impulse sessions, personal reflection, and team building
- Weekly live-cohort remote sessions working on the 5 dimensions of the SHIFT® Framework
- Three remote peer-coaching sessions on individual leadership challenges
- Three inspirational sessions with renowned leadership coaches
- Self-directed application of course work and iterative design of an individual self-leadership framework transformation case in mastermind groups
- Final workshop day with live presentations, habit training and design of study groups
The GRADPAD is thus the detailed account of all the required study achievements that our participants have to demonstrate in individual and group work as part of their SELF-LEADERSHIP GROWTH PATH. The following legend explains all achievements in detail:

< LEADERSHIP WORKSHOP RETREAT >
ITB
// CALL TO ADVENTURE
THE ITERATIVE TOOLBOX FOR TRANSFORMATION HERO*INES
Clarify the intentions in life. It is not so much about goal setting but finding the right direction. Regarding purpose as a process that allows leaders to find a sense of direction.
- Prototyping the 21st century attitude in a design sprint
- Creating flow states and discovering a way into flow
ACI
// CROSSING THE THRESHOLD
THE ART OF INNOVATIVE CONFIDENCE IN AN UNCERTAIN WORLD
Identifying distinctive values by building a strength-based self-leadership framework. Not settling with long held convictions but experimenting with talent. Stepping outside the comfort zone – into the wilderness.
CPU
// ROAD OF TRAILS
THE CONSCIOUS PRACTICE OF UNDERSTANDING WHO YOU ARE
Discovering vulnerabilities and developing a healthier and more honest connection with oneself and others. Addressing not only the sunny sides but also the shadow aspects that we are not (yet) aware of. Becoming aware of the blindspots takes courage and so does asking for feedback from others.
EKP
// DARING TO GROW
THE EXPERIMENTATION KIT TO GENERATE PURPOSEFUL SELF-IMPROVEMENT
Developing personal ownership. Growth is only possible if people take full responsibility for what they learn and how they make progress. Self-leadership works best when two things come together: Taking personal responsibility and holding those around us accountable for their actions, too. Experimenting with self-inquiry and building a self-coaching practice is part of the game.
