12 Habits of Authentic Leaders
~ J.D. Messinger
The 12 Habits of Authentic Leaders™
Master the 12 Habits and summit the second mountain. The first mountain is all about succeeding in business, but the second mountain is of far greater value; it’s about succeeding in life. This program is designed for leaders who desire to balance their life and align their passion and business to not only live a life with greater purpose and meaning, but impact society as well.
Who Should Attend: Live a Life with Greater Purpose and Meaning
This program is designed for leaders and entrepreneurs who are not solely focused on making money; who lead through values and principles to serve others; and use their business as a platform to lead social progress.
Nothing is more important than understanding one’s why. Understanding the ROI of why dramatically increases the top and bottom line, ignites passion, and creates flow state. Understanding our why may not change what we do, but it changes how, when, where, and who we do it with.
The impact of not living a meaningful life is devastating. Success without purpose, regardless of income or possessions, eventually leads to attachments, anxiety, depression, poor health, and damaged relationships. Ask anyone who summited the first mountain what it cost on the way up, and suddenly we understand why aiming for the second mountain is a far better choice.

Mastering the 12 Habits Workshop
The first two camps deal with the invisible Inner Game of thoughts and beliefs. The second two camps deal with our visible and physical reality and all of our actions and behaviors in the Outer Game.
The 12 Habits are designed to first balance each quadrant and secondly, to align the Inner Game with the Outer Game. Aligning the Inner and Outer Game is critical for all meaningful and lasting change first begins within before it is projected out.
Along the way we identify and resolve the Major Battles where our inner thoughts and beliefs are conflicted with practical aspects of life. Each battle is motivated by a fear and by resolving the fears we become authentic and congruent.
After summiting the second mountain we are no longer just a leader, we are a conscious leader.
