How conscious leaders use the Honor Window

As a conscious leader, you know your greatest leverage is your own consciousness your ability to see clearly, especially when judgment clouds your vision.

Judgment walls are invisible. They keep you from seeing people as they are. They destroy trust. They undermine your influence. And they make you suffer.

The Honor Window is a technology for seeing through these walls so you can lead with wisdom instead of judgment, transform relationships instead of abandoning them, and make interventions that actually work.

Here's how leaders like you use the Honor Window

(01)

When you're personally facing conflict, crisis, or losing your way

Crisis of conscience

Loyalty to your group vs. your personal conscience. Deciding to stay or leave a path. Disobey authority or comply. Find your stand with honor.

PTSD, moral injury & demoralization

When guilt, shame, or trauma from past actions keeps you stuck. When you've lost your will to move forward. Find your way back to honor.

Self judgment & reclaiming honor

When you're judging yourself and can't see your own value. When demoralization has taken hold. Restore honor to yourself.

Relief from past conflicts

Not to reconcile necessarily, but to find your own peace and wisdom. Release resentment and suffering from old wounds.

(02)

When conflict or breakdown threatens your group

When you're the leader under siege

When your people turn against you. When your enterprise is at risk. Find your footing and reclaim your moral authority

Preventing team/organization breakdown

You're not in the conflict, but you see it coming. Use the Honor Window to gain influence before facilitating resolution.

Transforming Workplace Culture

From judgment culture to honor culture. Building high-trust teams. Creating environments where people thrive.

Real stories, real growth.

His Judgement Window allowed me the gift of understanding another person's point of view in such a profound way, that hostility and fear was dissolved—permanently.

    What's really unique for me about this program is the integration of whole self. I've been to a lot of workshops that were very intellectual, other experiential, very physical type of things, and this is completely integrating body, mind, spirit

    As a PhD, I have studied numerous and complex theories of human development and human evolution. Yet I was intrigued the first time I saw Michael Skye's Model of Inner Conflict... I wish I'd had this understanding 10 years ago. Michael is not another 'me too' in the field of self-development. He is a pioneer on the cutting edge

    What Michael Sky is offering people is really the liberation of a part of themselves that has been covered over by all sorts of programming and woundedness

    Nothing compares to the experience of the bootcamp and having that sense of everything that you've ever wanted, no matter what it is, not only being possible, but being right there within your grasp to go and get.
