Are you ready to step into your full potential and lead your life from a place of purpose, clarity, and empowerment? Join International Modern Mystery School Instructor, Eric Thompson for a powerful 2-day Self-Leadership class designed to help you break through personal barriers and create lasting change.
Self-leadership can be considered a contemporary translation of Socrates’ teaching of “Know Thyself.” Through the path of embracing the leader within yourself you can begin exercising choice rather than being dictated by your circumstances.
Self-leadership is about growing an understanding of who you are, what you are capable of and where you want to go in life.
But often, we become our own greatest obstacle, caught in patterns of self-sabotage, fear, and doubt. In this class, you’ll learn how to overcome these internal roadblocks and align your actions with your Higher Self.
Throughout this immersive experience, you will:

Identify and overcome the internal stopping points that keep you stuck, such as negative emotions, limiting beliefs, and self-sabotage.
Learn how to wield archetypal energies to navigate life’s challenges with greater ease and confidence.
Gain clarity on how to take consistent, effective action towards your goals and manifest your true potential.
Receive practical, hands-on tools that you can immediately apply to shift your mindset, overcome fear and doubt, and make lasting changes in your life.

This class is for anyone who feels called to deepen their self-mastery and create a life of intention. If you’ve ever wondered why you’re not achieving your goals, despite your best efforts, Eric Thompson will guide you to the keys that unlock your highest potential.
By the end of this course, you will have a clearer understanding of how to operate in your life with confidence and purpose, equipped with the tools to stay on track and avoid falling back into old patterns.
Why Attend?

Experience working with powerful self-leadership tools that will support you in creating real change.
Gain insight into the dynamics between your Higher Self and Lower Self, and how to navigate them for greater success.
Develop the clarity to take decisive action and move beyond doubt and fear.

This is a rare opportunity to learn from Ambassador Eric, who is known for delivering these powerful teachings with profound clarity. The keys you’ll receive in this class are simple yet transformative when applied with consistency.
