Inner Game of Golf and Leadership with Tim Gallwey, is a one day event in which
participants will learn to take advantage of the complementary relationship
between the inner skills in both golf and leadership. We aim to provide students
with an understanding of how these two seemingly disparate fields of growth
are deeply connected.
This experiential training event will include both theoretical and practical exercises
on driving range, putting green, and in the classroom. The learning environment is
designed to encourage breakthroughs in personal and technical learning for all levels of experience.

The Inner Game of Golf and Leadership Workshop Purpose
The goal of the game of golf is made clear in the Royal and Ancient Rules of the game: get around the course in as few strokes as possible. But these rules do not tell us why to play the game, and what we can get out of the hours we do. These are leadership decisions that each player must choose. What is more important, my score, my enjoyment, or what I learn? Can I learn more on the golf course than golf? Our answer is, “Yes you can, if you can free yourself from your attachment to self measurement by score alone. The purpose of the workshop is to explore what works and what doesn’t, in golf, in self-leadership and life itself.
Our hope is that like others who have taken this workshop, you open the door to understanding of yourself as well as your golf, to find what can be truly fulfilling and enriching use of the time you invest in a game that goes beyond the gratification of the game itself. We hope that you, like others, will find a very natural increase in proficiency without letting your attachment to score be a handicap of your enjoyment and proficiency.) For example, you may find the courage it takes to “delegate” your swing to the parts of body that know more about how to learn to swing a club, than you will ever learn from a book. Or how to handle pressure by not creating it in the first place.
