The Breakthrough Leadership Workshop
A live small group experience for finding hidden solutions and unlocking what's holding you back. The half-day workshop is preceded by pre-work and is followed by a full year of support and reinforcement.
In our complex and uncertain world, even the best leaders feel blocked in their goals, stuck in their circumstances, and disrupted from patterns that used to serve them well.
Feeling stuck is a signal that something important is being neglected—something necessary to the results leaders want.
With the fresh perspective offered by paradox-aware Leadership Development, they can clarify their goals, reframe their barriers, and find breakthrough solutions.
Imagine If the leaders you train...
- could face challenges with calm clarity instead of stress.
- had a simple process to turn obstacles into opportunities.
- felt confident leading through apparent contradictions instead of avoiding them.
- saw constraints not as dead ends, but as springboards for innovation.
That’s the promise of the Leadership Progress Cycle—a repeatable process that translates paradox-awareness into action.

About The Founder
I’m Jared Oates, and for over 20 years I’ve been leading teams, starting companies, and breaking through stuck situations.
My work blends practical leadership experience, ancient wisdom, and the latest research. My new book Tension: Mastering the Super Power of Paradox-Aware Leadership helps leaders harness paradox as a source of strength.
Now, I’ve distilled the core insights into a focused workshop experience. Leaders can learn paradox-awareness in a day and apply it for a lifetime.
