TESTIMONIALS "The Art of Leadership Mastery Program takes its students on the most enlightening journey of their lifetimes - a journey of self-empowerment. I have participated in many corporate-oriented leadership courses, and found them typically designed for everyone to achieve the same leadership 'standards' predominantly by fulfilling a checklist of prescribed actions, processes, and deliverables. In contrast, the ALM program facilitates development of leadership unique to the individual - in one sense "from the inside-out" - by building physical, emotional, and intellectual awareness skills and leadership attributes. Scott has designed a powerful and challenging program which, in combination with his insightful coaching, promotes the development and lifelong embodiment of leadership in each individual. I consider my participation in ALM to be the single best investment I have ever made for myself. I recommend the program without reservation for individuals from any career path, setting, or stage in life. ALM is not only about being a better leader in one's job, it is about being a leader for yourself, for your life."  -  Phil Zack, Executive Director, Amgen Inc. "Participation in the Art of Leadership Mastery program has opened up an entirely new experience of living for me. This is the discovery of how to listen from and be centered in my whole self, while being present to my values and vision, in the present moment. This has deepened the quality of my connections with others, allowed me to live more effortlessly, and opened new business opportunities based not on what I can do, but on who I am while I am doing them. I am deeply grateful to Scott, his team, and my fellow students for all their help in what feels like a solid start in my journey towards a more fulfilling and authentic future."   -  Mark Bass, Partner, Tapie Construction, Inc. "The ALM program has given me knowledge and tools to "get out of my head" and reconnect with my own body. This has sharpened my instincts, renewed my sense of dignity and allowed me to rediscover my passion, all of which are centered in my body. My newly reintegrated whole self can now "build a body" that is more present and more able to connect with others and more capable of leading me forward into my own life. I am aware that for someone who has not experienced this profound change, these words may sound like "new age" hocus-pocus, but from this side of the canyon, the view forward is amazing and filled with great promise."  -  Bim Goddard, Software Programmer "The Art of Leadership Mastery program was a profound and accessible journey that took me back to the source of my life, my body, through a somatic knowing of how to be a leader for my family and my business. The work is indispensable for gaining access to what it takes to trust one another to create a world of meaning, love and peace."  -  Matt Tapie, Partner, Tapie Construction "I loved the idea of learning about leadership but was worried about the length and the cost of this course, I did not think I had time for all the weekends and was not sure about spending the money on myself with a son still in college. I graduated in March after a seven month journey that was so rich, diverse and full of discovery I am planning on signing up again. ALM was worth twice what I paid! I have a big vision, I am excited about what the future holds and know that I can make it happen. Scott Coady is a fabulous coach - I am so glad I made the commitment and proud of myself for graduating."   -  Liz Harward, Director of Product Development, The David Allen Company "I have been on the path of self-discovery and personal development for many years and had found that the programs I was putting my energy toward had reached a plateau in their results. Specifically, while I'd had great success in identifying many of the barriers I was creating in my own life to prevent me from achieving the success and happiness I sought, simply identifying the barriers was not enough. Eliminating old, pattern behaviors was only creating a void that eventually re-filled with the same behaviors. From the very first day of ALM I could tell that Scott's intention and methods were going to produce profound results by filling the void with a new way of being, an embodiment of the commitments I made to myself, my family and my colleagues that manifested a concept into an actual presence. During the course, I reached a much more meaningful level of relationship with the people in my life, have found attracting new relationships to be easier and more significant, and seen my financial situation turn around entirely, from deep debt to the most profitable time of my life."  -  Kenny Golde, Filmmaker, Author "ALM is new territory! It can't be found in a book. Scott modeled a deeply relaxed and focused presence that guided us through one challenging arena after another in a spirit of team work. The "practices" that we adopted have permanently alerted my relationship to my body. I am listening to my body and I am consistently caring for it. My body is HAPPY and so it is telling me a lot that I could not learn from anyone else. When I asked my wife, Debby what change she had seen in me out of the ALM program she said, 'I used to see your thoughts scrolling across your forehead when I was speaking. Now, I can feel you listening.' And to top all that off, my business plan that had been lost in my planning department is effortlessly in action with results. I can't say enough about the depth and efficacy of this program. I am proud to say that I have signed up to take the course again."  -  Kap Young, Entrepreneur "As a result of participating in ALM there are many positive shifts that have taken place in my life. My overall stress level is way down, I am no longer having trouble sleeping and my confidence level is up. This is different from any program I have participated in or any book that I have read because it is not traditional learning. The learning comes from experiences, not lectures and reading."   -  Ron Cossa, Member - TWIW Insurance Services "Through the ALM program, I have been able to lead myself into a more coherent manor of living. By gaining the ability to more fully understand the wisdom of my body, I have a much keener sense of my emotional, mental and physical well-being. The effect of the program on me was subtle at first, then, I began to experience a depth of being that I did not know existed. I feel gratitude as I reflect on the care and capacity of Scott Coady. The way Scott held space for individuals to find their path on this journey was masterful and I highly recommend bringing Scott onto your support team through the curriculum of the ALM program. I personally look forward to gaining more from the wisdom inherent through embodying the principles Scott teaches, it's lifelong learning that brings me closer and closer to the center of who I am as a human being."   -  Scott Carlson, Founder, Florabundance, Inc. "If you really want something that will stick and make a difference, if you want to learn and grow, this is the program. If you want a day course that will get you out of the office, this is not for you."   -  Jeff Zavitz, Biotech Marketing "It's a challenge to capture in words what this work does, because it's so much about presence and body wisdom rather than the intellect. This (somatics) has been a whole new realm of learning for me. The practices we learned and did daily were simple and easy to do, and yet within a few short weeks I experienced differences in the way I was showing up in the world - more centered, balanced and readily able to access my inner strength. Through this work and its learning, I have come to trust myself to move forward in business and in life without needing to know all of the steps in advance. I highly recommend this experience."   -  Will Castagna "The Art of Leadership Mastery course gave me the tools to move forward with my vision. My commitment to doing the practices, the support I got from my team, and my willingness to be in the place of discomfort and uncertainty in my head and in my body as I moved towards achieving my vision, opened me up to an incredible "internal" healing and I can honestly feel in my body that I am more confident, empowered, and liberated. I love my authentic self!"  -  Tessie Goddard "I have found the Art of Leadership Mastery that Scott Coady leads to be a profoundly powerful learning and growing experience. I have known and respected Scott Coady for many years and I know that Scott has been up to doing great work with many large corporations and other organizations such as NASA. I was not expecting the level of powerful growth I have actually attained as a result of being part of the ALM course. A major part of my vision and my mission in life has to do with speaking to groups of people and I have gotten some very positive feedback from speaking coaches over the years, and yet I was still not really stepping out there and going for it. There were parts of myself that just did not feel OK or ready for prime time when it came to getting on with really living powerfully into my life's work. Despite all the positive assessments I had been given and all the great sense of power and mission I had for really stepping into my life's work, there was a part of me that was just not so sure, and was holding me back from really playing all out. Now I have a very different and more powerful sense of ability to just get on with whatever is coming my way. My newfound willingness to step up and stand strong for people in the work I do to help them gain far greater prosperity has really set me on a whole new trajectory. I am out there engaging powerfully in expressing what I am here to do to be of greatest service to those I am blessed to work with. Looking back a few months I see that my new courage and inner strength has everything to do with the personal growth work I experienced in the ALM course. I will forever encourage friends and those who listen to me to consider the ALM course if they really want to move from potential power into a powerful execution and action towards their great life's mission work. No brochure could have ever done justice to what I have gained from Scott Coady and his Art of Leadership Mastery course."   -  John O'Conner, Founder, Prosperity Intelligence Experience "Prior to taking the ALM, I had multiple communication hurdles. I had an inability to look people in the eye, and could not be around people for extended periods of time. I also walked around in fear of people, with my head down and shoulders hunched over. While taking the course, going through the exercises I developed an ability not only to look people in the eye and be around all people, but to truly connect and communicate with people. As a result of the course my relationships at work have flourished."   -  Jonathan Fisher, Financial Services "As a business leader my success depends on my ability to lead and inspire trust in my team. Investing in myself and this program is giving me results in the area of leadership in my life and business beyond my expectations."  -  Carrie Reinagel, CEO Be Well Inc. Back to ALM Overview
