Access the authentic, powerful, inspiring leader you were meant to be
Aurum’s Essentials of Self (EoS) is a catalyst for profound, lasting change in your life. In this dynamic 4-day training you will learn to cultivate your full presence and capacity - both as a leader and as a human being.
EoS combines the latest in brain science, transformational learning, emotional intelligence, and personal development together with embodied practices of radical self-acceptance and self-honesty. The result is a fresh perspective, grounded in authentic presence and heart. The EoS training is for anyone looking to reconnect with themselves deeply and revitalize their leadership from a place of wholeness and compassionate strength. Leadership takes many forms throughout our lives. Whether you are a business owner or executive, an educator, team leader or creative contributor, a parent leading your family or community member, EoS is for you. Participants emerge with a renewed sense of connection to themselves and others, a deeper understanding of human nature, a stronger resilience in leadership, and a clear vision of how to bring their authentic leadership and presence to the next level. |
A NEW NAME In November 2022 we renamed our flagship leadership training. Previously called LBX: Leadership Breakthrough Training, this program is now called Essentials of Self: Breakthrough Training for Leaders (We like to call it EoS for short) The new name more accurately reflects the program's unique approach to leadership as an expression of our SELF, of who we are in the world. |
"This was a life changing and affirming experience for me. It taught me how to come back and align my inner compass to listen to my wisdom and truth. As a business owner, parent and woman, I warmly recommend this training to anyone who intends to be a more effective leader - at work and in their lives. I am forever grateful!"
~ Victoria Abel, Founder, Center for Addiction Nutrition, Prescott, AZ

Investing in your growth is good for you and those around you
Attending Essentials of Self creates a ripple effect that benefits your team, organization, and the bottom line.
"Truly a self-discovery and connection process. I am a better person, mother, wife and leader, as I see things from a completely different perspective. It was an incredible gift; I feel like I am showing up the way I want to for the people in my life - and for myself.
This was truly an amazing transformative experience with a great mix of interactive and reflection activities. Definitely not the typical leadership training I have attended in the past."

I loved it all. Very nourishing and eye opening. It was a deeper exploration of leadership and leading from a grounded place. It was a facilitated journey, not didactic, with profound guidance from the facilitators and participants. It's clearly powerful and impactful for intact leadership teams as well.
~ Terri Ellis, Director of Training & Development, Kaiser Permanente
It's a powerful program that helps each of us recognize the parts of us that pull us off course from how we want to be in the world, and most importantly, provides simple steps to reorient ourselves to our truest self and lead/make decisions from there.
~ Jayson Morris, Executive Leadership Coach, San Francisco
Much more than a leadership training -
EoS is a powerful experience of connection,
aliveness and living your full potential
This is an embodied process, not a theoretical one.
We invite you into a safe, caring environment to explore and understand all the ways you limit yourself and get in the way of your brilliance. Then we give you practical, down-to-earth tools to re-embody the real power inherent in your true, clear self. From that state, embodied leadership becomes natural.
There are no PowerPoint slides or user manuals. We use the most effective learning technology there is: direct experience. Essentials of Self is a space in which we develop human relationships with real connection; a place to practice the art of deep honesty combined with self-compassion.
Something magical happens in these 4 days... we invite you to experience it for yourself!

Reflections from Previous EOS programs
People often describe the experience of EOS as... "profound", "amazing", "totally different than anything I've done before."
When we asked about the long term impact of their experience, these are some typical responses: "I loved it all. Very nourishing and eye opening. It was a deeper exploration of leadership and leading from a very grounded place." "It was an incredible gift; I feel like I am showing up the way I want to for the people in my life - and for myself. Truly an amazing transformative experience with a great mix of interactive and reflective activities." "I am finally showing up the way I really want to be, and sharing my ideas. And to my surprise, people are not upset at all - they are celebrating me!" |
