Where We Shine...
Mandala Institute focuses on developing leaders who can powerfully connect, collaborate and lead through others.
These skills encompass presence, influence, coaching, and other relational skills that create admired cultures of performance, growth and wellbeing.
Our unique approach puts ownership of development in the hands of the learner --to make a difference now while on a continual learning path.
...How We're Different
We've led big transformation work, and we know that it's people who make important changes happen.
A Powerful Method
Learners get a practice, not a class. Mandala’s Trio Method up-skills a cohort of leaders all at once, while in the context of their real work challenges.
The result is a shared sense of ownership of performance, growth and wellbeing in the entire team.
Inner Skill Building
Mandala specializes in the ‘human’ relational skills required to lead bold change through your team.
Leaders more deeply engage with teams and one another -building the trust and ownership required for better collective outcomes.
Better Results
We fuel performance and enrich lives. An emphasis on coaching skills for leaders deepens character and builds connection with others.
We hear again and again, "This has changed how I work, and my relationships in life are better too."
