The fastest and most direct way to personal leadership growth
How? By understanding and applying The Responsibility Process® to consistently deliver results that matter in work and life.
Watch the video to learn more about The Responsibility Process.
Living lives they don’t want and think they can’t change.
In The Leadership Gift Program, you learn to effectively apply The Responsibility Process research and tools. This allows you to break through and reach your full potential.
The Leadership Gift is something you’re born with.
It is active in everyone, so anyone can put it to use.
When you can shift your mind to the resourceful state of Responsibility, you open up and allow yourself to see new solutions to problems where you previously felt totally stuck. By owning your power and ability to create, choose, and attract, you’ll become a better leader personally and professionally.
It seems so simple, doesn’t it? Then why isn’t everyone doing it?
It turns out that studying Responsibility on your own is like trying to quit smoking in a house full of smokers. It’s like trying to lose 400 lbs., by yourself, with no support.
Why?
You and I are deeply entrenched in cultures of Blame, Justify, Shame, and Obligation. It surrounds us. We breath it everyday.
Tens of thousands of people have learned about The Responsibility Process. But when they tried to apply it by themselves they became disillusioned and quit. Trying to master Responsibility by yourself leads to failure and disillusionment for most people.
Why?
Smart ambitious professionals are as addicted to coping with problems and unhappiness as other addicts are to their drugs. We’ve been conditioned our whole lives to do so. Yes, you have a coping habit along with most people in the world. And you are very good at it. I know. I was there too.
The Responsibility Process opened up more doors and opportunities than I can count and now, I share what I’ve learned, how to break through and become the leader you want to be, through my online learning platform, The Leadership Gift Program.
I have a PhD in Organizational Science. I’ve written 2 books, collected 27 years of Applied Research on responsibility on the front lines of corporate leadership… I’ve shared The Responsibility Process on 4 continents through Corporate Leadership Seminars with high powered CEOs and VPs, Keynotes at major conferences, Master Classes, Coaching, Books, and my websites and blog. The Responsibility Process poster been translated into 28 languages.
These are just a handful of the companies I’ve worked with…
Accomplishments are great. However, what’s much more important is that I’m living exactly the life I want, doing the most important work I know, and enjoying amazing relationships. Thanks to my Responsibility practice I’m living with exceptional levels of freedom, power, and choice.
Are you?
The fastest and BEST way to change any habit or addiction is by participating with an experienced guide and a group of people who are working to make the same changes. Immerse yourself in a Responsibility culture to counteract the coping culture you live in now. That’s what I did. Just like learning any new practice such as Yoga or Meditation, it is invaluable to have the structure and support of a guide and fellow travelers to help you go deeper faster.
I don’t want to see you coping with the same “just okay” life and work a year from now, when, with a little investment on your part, it could be “Great!”
I developed a proven solution for this—The Leadership Gift™ Program. We employ the best addiction-breaking habit-changing tools available to break and change old habits of mind, change your behavior and—most importantly—your results.
You can now get the same content and coaching we provide to Corporate Change Programs for 6 and 7 figure consulting fees. I’ve repackaged it for an eLearning community and made it available to you for a low price.
Remember this: Knowing about The Responsibility Process isn’t a solution, not by itself.
The fastest and most direct way to personal leadership growth
Precise, actionable tools & support to own your life. No fluff, tricks, “shoulds” or “ought tos”
Lead yourself and others to the freedom, choice, and power to produce results that matter
Get teams aligned, engaged, inspired, and focused on priorities
I’ve invested more than 27 years not just understanding The Responsibility Process and tools, but how to rapidly build a Responsibility practice and change lives.
I’ve made it easy by organizing it into 8 Core Modules, 90 minutes each. Each has a PDF Guide and Worksheets to download along with an audio file to listen to. Each module takes you deeper into how your mind works and shows you how to take charge of yourself and your relationship to the world around you.
But that’s just the beginning.
I’ve created an environment where we can all learn from and help each other make breakthroughs. We meet together at least 4 times every month on group coaching calls. And we interact every day in our private forum.
Altogether, The Leadership Gift Program IS the solution for mastering Responsibility and changing your life.
If you really want to take charge of your life and feel what it means to have real FREEDOM, POWER, and CHOICE every day… you’ll want to join The Leadership Gift Program right away. No other program even comes close to delivering the same results.
In fact, I’m so confident that you’ll see life-changing results, I guarantee it. If you complete the 8 Core Modules as advised, attend 4 Q&A Dialog calls and 4 Application Mastery calls, and you still don’t know how to practice and master Responsibility, I’ll refund 100% of your investment. *Must be within the first 6 months after your initial purchase.
If you’re truly committed to making a change in your life… If you’re committed to reaching your full potential, join The Leadership Gift Program today. You’ll thank me next week.
Ignoring the existence of something.
Holding others at fault for causing something.
Using excuses for things being the way they are.
Laying blame onto oneself (often felt as guilt).
Doing what you have to instead of what you want to.
Giving up to avoid the pain of Shame and Obligation.
Owning your power and ability to create, choose and attract your life.
The Leadership Gift Program consists of 8 Core Modules to not just introduce the concept but give you precision tools, practices, wisdom, and leadership truths to navigate The Responsibility Process and lead yourself and others to Freedom, Power, and Choice.
Twice a year, I host a 16-week guided study of the 8 Core Modules via Zoom Conference so you can meet up with other members of the community and benefit from multiple points of view, dialog, learning, blending strengths, and a shared sense of ownership. This Leadership Gift community is changing the world.
The Leadership Gift Program is an all-access pass to the 8 Core Modules along with recordings from all 9 previous guided study courses.
I also host four calls each month, two for Q&A, and two for Application Mastery (where the real work happens). In Application Mastery members take turns in the “hotseat” and the host — a Responsibility master — helps them break through their current biggest issue to newfound freedom, choice, and power.
As part of our community, you also get access to our private group forums and regular calls hosted by other group leaders who are Coaches, Mentors, and Masters of The Responsibility Process
AND… a FREE 20-minute one-on-one call with me to discuss your personal situation and goals.
As a member of The Leadership Gift Program and community, you’re never more than a week or two away from being able to hop on a call and get focused help to overcome a roadblock.
While the 8 Core Modules are available in the Member Library for self-paced access anytime, many members prefer joining a study group for live and interactive webinar delivery by Christopher over a 16-week semester.
May I collect CEUs/PDUs?
Yes. We are not a registered provider for any professional associations, however members have successfully claimed 12 hours/units after completing the 8 Core Modules. There is a post in our forums about how one member did this.
Do you offer a money back guarantee?
Yes. If you complete the 8 Core Modules as advised, attend 4 Q&A Dialog calls and 4 Application Mastery calls, and you still don’t know how to practice and master Responsibility, I’ll refund 100% of your investment. Must bewithin the first 6 months after your initial purchase.
I travel frequently and I’m not always in charge of my schedule, how can I participate?
Your situation describes most of our members. We are busy people. That’s why we’re designed as an ultimately flexible eLearning community with online self-paced resources, downloadable resources for use offline, forums available 24/7 wherever you are, and frequent live calls for checking in, getting expert support, and breaking through stuck points.
Try it for a month and see for yourself.
What if the web calls are at an inconvenient time?
We recognize this limitation. That’s why all except the Application Mastery web calls are recorded and posted in the member library for 24/7 access.
Membership is about convenient access when you want it. No one attends every call.
We choose a consistent schedule convenient to the Americas and Europe. As we grow, we will add more calls at different times.
How long will it take me to get through your program?
There is a “training” answer and a “learning/change/growth/results” answer.
The training answer is that you can get through the 8 Core Modules in 12 hours. But that doesn’t mean you have built a Responsibility practice or changed any coping habits into growing habits.
This program is not simply about new knowledge about how our minds work. It is about changing our deeply embedded habits of mind and building a Responsibility practice that produces fabulous new results in your life.
If you do the work, your life can be very different in 90 days.
So we suggest studying the 8 Core Modules of 90 minutes each over 16 weeks, taking about 2 weeks to “live into” the lessons, exercises, and practices in each module. At the end of the 16 weeks ask yourself if you are “through” or if this program offers you more. It’s your choice.
Why a membership program rather than a course?
We operate as a membership community because consistent application is what builds your responsibility practice. Completing the 8 Core Modules is the beginning—not the end—of practicing The Leadership Gift.
However, you don’t have to commit to long-term membership. You may join for 4 months to experience the 8 Core Modules, then make another decision about canceling or continuing. Remain a member only as long as you are receiving value. Cancel anytime.
Many members say it is the best $97 they spend each month. Why? They have continuous access to mentors and masters in the community and program to break through any stuck spot to new levels of freedom, choice, and power.
Imagine, instead of having an expensive private coach, you have an entire community of them available anytime.
Describe the membership
Membership in The Leadership Gift Program is 2/3 Male and 1/3 Female.
We range from age 23 to 60 with most between 30-50.
The majority of members are in the USA, Canada and Europe (Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Romania, Russia, Sweden, Switzerland, UK) with a few in Australia, India, Thailand, South Africa, and South America.
Titles include:
The program earns a 9.4 (out of 10) net promoter score measured at 16 weeks after joining.
Will I be able to ask questions if get stuck?
Yes. That’s why we are organized as an eLearning community. It is highly interactive through live calls and forums. We surround you with others who are changing the same habits of mind. And Christopher hosts at least 4 live group coaching calls every month for all members. Other advanced members host calls too.
How can I get my employer to pay for the program?
Discuss with your employer the benefits to your business:
Request that they sponsor you for the annual membership. We’ve learned employers don’t want to deal with monthly receipts. Remind them there will be no travel costs, travel time, or time away from work. Negotiate whether you participate on your own time or on your employer’s time. Either way, make the web-calls a high priority.
As you grow and make progress, keep your employer informed of the new value you are adding to the business.
Also consider this: The Leadership Gift Program was designed to be affordable and accessible to individuals who want to invest in their own development. We intend to keep it that way. We also suggest that you make the investment in yourself so you have full ownership of the benefits.
Tell me about accreditation and certification.
Accreditation and certification are different, yet related.
The Leadership Gift Program offers four levels of accreditation, each based on demonstrated competence and integration of responsibility practices. After completing the 8 Core Modules, continuing members may apply for membership in The Leadership Gift Accreditation and Apprenticeship Program and be accredited as a Practitioner.
Learn more about the accreditation program.
For external and internal trainers, Partnerwerks offers a train-the-trainer option along with certification and content licensing to teach The Responsibility Process workshop designs. See The Responsibility Process – Leading and Coaching workshop for more detail.
How can an employer best support a sponsored employee?
Many employers have found The Leadership Gift Program to be a very effective leadership development investment for employees. Here is what we’ve learned:
Should I sponsor team members?
Many managers sponsor employees in The Leadership Gift Program. They report that it is extremely effective and efficient personal leadership development. The results are clear in terms of the employee exhibiting greater ownership, better decision making, improved problem-solving and more. Mostly what we hear is that the employee just starts showing up differently — more aware, more present, more confident, more real.
What if I miss/missed the beginning of the live 16-week series, can I still join?
Of course. That’s why the flex plan exists. All of the Core Modules and Q&A Dialogs are recorded and stored in the member library for easy streaming or download. Most members consume the program in this way. You’ll feel welcomed into the community right away.
“350 people in 9 countries have become way more productive than we ever imagined. Today we produce twice the software with half the headcount.”
“It gave me a fundamental capability that now I wonder how I ever managed to do without.”
“A year ago I was struggling. I was overwhelmed by problems and demands, I wasn’t happy with the direction my job was going. In the last year of working with Christopher, I have worked out what matters to me and what I really want. I have found time to do more things, which inspire me. I have published my first paper, given my first conference presentations. I have managed to give the team space to take responsibility and ownership for their delivery. I have found a different way to inspire people in their work, and I am enjoying it so much more.”
“2 years ago, before I joined The Leadership Gift Program I was a high-impact achiever, a success by many standards. However, I did not feel good about life or myself. It was difficult for me to tell what I want and why. When I joined the program, I did regain a lot of sanity and I have turned around many situations. I gained more ability, but more importantly, my quality of life has increased significantly and continues to do so. Today I am happier, healthier and more free, and I continue to enjoy the program and the wonderful community around it.”
