Meet LeaderONE Platform


Hello Reader,

For some context, you are signed up to receive a newsletter from me at Forward Thinking Workplaces, Space Beyond Boundaries (SpaceB), LeaderONE, or all three or some combination. I appreciate you being a subscriber and supporting my work. Many of you have been with me for over a decade.

LeaderONE has become my main focus.

I believe in simplicity, clarity, and authenticity, so I must step back and paint the big picture. The TL;DR of all this is that my main area of focus has shifted to LeaderONE.org.

The more extended version of this is that I've wrestled with whether to focus on Forward Thinking Workplaces or SpaceB for some time. LeaderONE was my first glimpse at how I might bring the two together. All my attempts to sort things out otherwise never felt right and forced.

Only in the last month has a vision emerged on how to do this, and it feels right.

LeaderONE is a platform to revolutionize how great leaders and organizations emerge in the 21st century.

I know that's a bold statement, but deep inside, that's what has been emerging for some time, and I sense the same longing in the people attracted to my work.

At LeaderONE, we aim to revolutionize how great leaders and organizations emerge in the 21st century by creating experiences that transcend the ordinary, stimulate thoughtful dialogue, and open up novel pathways of seeing, understanding, and interacting with the people and world around us.

What I found curious was that the connection many in the workshop related to their telling was very personal and went well beyond the words in the quote. (a door opening of sorts) — Gwen Kinsey, gwenkinsey.com

For the past year, my colleagues, John Ryskowski and Wolfgang Fiebig, and I have been conducting more and more fascinating workshops that feature the six dimensions of how we view and experience the inner leader journey beyond the boundaries of conventional leadership.

We've also received the feedback and support of many distinguished leaders, too numerous to mention in my network, who have participated in our private events and helped us improve them.

The recent updates and rethinking of the Be a Workplace of the Future Now series revealed how to conduct similar workshops from my work at Forward Thinking Workplaces.

The initial LeaderONE Platform program and pricing have been set.

There will be a series of four workshops conducted every month for Basic, Professional, and Business members:

  • 1st Wednesday - LeaderONE Leader Workshop
  • 2nd Wednesday - A free introductory workshop to introduce the LeaderONE Platform
  • 3rd Wednesday - LeaderONE Workplace Workshop
  • 4th Wednesday - Dialogue on Dialogue Workshop

Each workshop is designed to be standalone and last 60 to 90 minutes. You can come and go based on your interests and schedule.

There are three plans: Basic, Professional, and Business.

Current paid Forward Thinking Workplaces and SpaceB members are automatically enrolled in the LeaderONE Platform and eligible to attend the workshops. Basic (Backers) level members can attend one event per month. Professional (Sponsors) members can attend all events.

The most attractive way to join the platform between now and August 31, 2023, is to sign up at Forward Thinking Workplaces or SpaceB for membership. Contact me to get a 20% discount code.

View plans and pricing for the LeaderONE Platform, which will go into effect on September 1, 2023.

The prices are introductory and will likely increase over time. If you've been watching things develop from the sidelines, now is the time to get in the game.

The LeaderONE Platform, as the brand, product, strategy, and story, is a work in progress. Now that the vision has emerged, the best is yet to come.

We believe we need a new playbook. Navigating today's new era requires a paradigm shift in self-perception and a fresh understanding of how your mind works, what defines a leader, and how you perceive and interact with the world.

Let's do this!

P. S. This is a lot to consider, and you may have questions. There are also many other ways we can work together and collaborate. Please don't hesitate to email or schedule a 20-minute call with me if you have some ideas.

California Dreamin’ A new world beyond leadership as we know it today. Hello Reader, I remember growing up and spending summer vacation mornings at my best friend Pete’s house. We’d crank up his stereo and listen to The Beach Boys at full blast. Their music seemed to tap into something deeper that we didn’t fully understand back then, but we all felt it. They weren’t just singing about California. They were creating a world where we could be our true selves—a place where living and playing...

The Profound Implications of the Medium of Leadership Hello Reader, I’ve been fascinated by the work of Marshall McLuhan, who famously said “the medium is the message,” ever since a colleague introduced me to his ideas several years ago. His exploration of media and technology was ahead of its time. Paradoxally, McLuhan helped us see how the tools we create ultimately shape us in return. Contrary to what most of us believe, McLuhan pointed out that the medium itself has a greater impact than...

Innovation isn’t about adding. It’s about subtracting. The problem is never how to get new, innovative thoughts into your mind, but how to get old ones out.– Dee Hock, Founder and CEO Emeritus, Visa Hello Reader, Dee Hock, the visionary behind Visa, understood this paradox deeply. He knew that true breakthroughs come not from piling on new ideas, but from stripping away the crusty layers of old thinking. We all carry mental baggage such as assumptions, habits, and fears that keep us attached...
