The Person Behind the Leader

You don’t become a different person when you step into a leadership role.
The experiences, perspectives, habits, strengths, blind spots, and responses you bring to the rest of your life come with you into leadership, too.
That is why personal development has always been part of our approach to developing leaders.
But this work goes beyond leadership. It is about understanding yourself, the life you are creating, and the choices you want to make moving forward.

You’re Learning About More Than How to Lead

Leadership training naturally brings you face-to-face with yourself.
How you communicate, respond to conflict, set expectations, understand other people, handle pressure, and build relationships is influenced by more than leadership technique. You bring yourself into all of it.
That is why our Profit-Driven Leadership Training includes A Leader’s Personal Wellbeing—a dedicated part of the program focused on the person behind the leadership role.
And many of the same questions become even more interesting when you take leadership out of the equation:
How do I respond? Why do I react that way? What shaped that expectation? What do I want to change?

CONFLICT

What could change if you approached conflict differently?

EXPECTATIONS

What have you assumed instead of actually discussing?

COMMUNICATION

How might you listen differently at home?

PERSONALITY

Who might you understand differently?

And these are just a few examples...

Going beyond leadership

Our Personal Growth Philosophy

For Bill and Joann Truby, co-founders of Truby Achievedments, developing people has never stopped with what happens at work.
Our experiences shape how we see ourselves, other people, relationships, and life. They can create patterns we carry forward automatically—but understanding those patterns gives us more opportunity to choose what comes next.
At the heart of that work is a simple philosophy:
live LIFE freely
Understand and move beyond old baggage, patterns, and conditioned responses that continue to influence how you live.
live on purpose
Move from automatic reactions toward more conscious choices about how you respond and how you live.
Live with purpose
Understand your strengths, talents, contribution, and what creates meaning and fulfillment for you.
