Pathways to Change

For leadership development & well-being

Pathways to Change (PTC) translates timeless wisdom and scientific knowledge into a unique and integrative approach to leadership development and well-being.

PTC’s 5-part framework incorporates neuroscience, mindfulness, coaching and mind-body principles. PTC programming meets many learning styles using visuals, workbooks, guided practices and interactive exercises.

With PTC, organizations invest not only in innovation, but also in the well-being and growth of its people.

People and teams need a new way of leadership to support and sustain them through the challenges of an increasingly volatile and uncertain world.

Mindful leadership adopts an inside-out approach to development, helping leaders and staff access leadership capacities such as greater awareness, self-regulation, adaptability, authenticity, connection and purpose.

The world is calling for change. We can guide it in a more humane direction by growing mindful leadership within the organizations that are working for that change.
