Welcome to the Institute for Personal Leadership
The IPL Method
The IPL Method is a breakthrough approach to personal leadership development based on pioneering research at Columbia Business School. The IPL Method helps participants strengthen their personal leadership capabilities via three stages:
Untapped Potential
Unshackled from limiting beliefs about character, personality and emotional intelligence, participants discover their own true potential.
Inside-Out Principles
By codifying a set of universal, inside-out principles, participants learn to shape their outer leadership behavior from a stable inner core.
Deliberate Practice
Like any skill, mastering Personal Leadership requires regular practice and feedback. This is how participants close the learning-doing gap.
IPL helps you build personal leadership skills across 3 domains

IPL's Mentora closes the learning-doing gap
What is the learning-doing gap? It’s that unbridgeable space that occurs at some point soon after traditional training ends. That point two days or two weeks later when the leadership principle you learned and were so excited about seems suddenly inaccessible in real life. What was that? How did it work?
We struggle because we have not translated the principles we have learned into habitual behaviors. At IPL we eliminate the learning-doing gap by imprinting new behaviors—through tools based on the new science of expert performance.
Our clients include top industry leaders
