Make the changes you desire
And perform at your best.
Are you enthusiastic about making change, but no one has ever given you a step-by-step plan?
It can be overwhelming for leaders to discern what works (and what doesn't) when it comes to leadership development and how to change their behaviour.
For organisations, it is often a balancing act to maximise leadership development opportunities for staff within a finite budget.
In six steps, Beyond Intention helps leaders learn how to change their behaviour to enable them to perform at their best.
These six practical steps have been used in our face-to-face leadership development and executive coaching programs over many years - with proven impacts on performance.
Don't waste any more time and money trying to change behaviour in ways that are ineffective.

Beyond Intention Evaluation
Leaders! If you are leading a team of any size, either formally or informally, this program is for you! The steps and practices contained in the program are designed for leaders at all levels. The only pre-requisite is that you have an idea of the area(s) you wish to develop, and are motivated to do something about it. We find those who gain the most from this program are leaders who (a) have a desire to change but aren’t sure how to do it, (b) may be stuck in the loop of wanting to change, trying to change and then falling back to old habits, and (c) want to understand more about the psychology of change. This program would also ideally suit those who have just received feedback about their leadership, such as 360 or developmental reviews, and want to make changes.
Yes! This program is designed to be scalable across large groups of leaders. In fact, research shows that if leaders share their developmental intentions in a supportive and challenging peer environment, their performance and development grows significantly. We also have a number of hosting options, including for companies with their own internal learning management system. Please contact us if you wish to purchase in bulk or discuss program design options for in-house applications.
Beyond Intention combines the power of present moment awareness (mindfulness) with a deeper understanding of self to create change in six steps. There are ten common mistakes leaders make when trying to change, and these six steps go beyond those to create clarity about what works. The most common mistake is to try too hard to change behaviour only, without looking at what causes the behaviour in the first place.
You can undertake the program anytime, anywhere, around your usual leadership commitments. The program consists of six online sessions, which you can complete at your own pace. Each of the six online sessions contain six short videos (36 in total). The total video time is approximately 1.5 hours, but the entire program could take up to 12 hours, inclusive of self-reflection and workbook activities. As this program is experiential and transformative in nature, the program is likely to be completed over a series of weeks or months, rather than days.
You will have access to the video content and facebook community for Beyond Intention participants for 150 days from when you sign-up. However, you are able to retain the Beyond Intention Workbook, which captures key concepts and provides space for your self-reflections.
You will have access to bonus worksheets, as well as a private facebook group exclusively for participants of Beyond Intention. John will facilitate a 1-hour 'facebook live' session each quarter where you can ask any burning questions you have. If you require further assistance, please speak to John about personalised 1:1 coaching sessions.

“Dr John Wood is one of the most skilled leadership thinkers I know; I’ve been fortunate to benefit from his wisdom in ways that have transformed my own leadership practice. In ‘Beyond Intention’, John and his team have distilled his powerful knowledge and sophisticated developmental tools into a simple but deep process that any leader committed to their practice can use to grow into their own wisdom.”
Jennifer Duncan, CEO, Australian Alcohol & Other Drugs Council“Some of the most vexing and confronting challenges we face as leaders come from ‘within.’ Beyond Intention helps us to go below the surface and gain a deeper understanding of what’s really holding us back (our handbrakes) and then provides us with a thoroughly researched and time proven approach to achieving the sustainable shifts required to overcome them. Powerfully brilliant! ”
Mark Molitor, Founding Director, Be Sustained“The Beyond Intention program was a wonderful reflective way of expanding my leadership skills and it provided a lot of practical strategies to work on. ”
