Tiimiakatemia®

master- Program for Truly Experienced Team Coaches

The Thesis of personal mastery by Johannes partanen

1. Mastery is a life-long journey and path. You will ne-ver reach the end of it. At the age of 84 you have

reached your best. After that you have the opportunity to be a wise man for a short moment.

2. Wise men face four challenges during their jour-ney: facing fear again and again; defeating the

illusion of clarity; controlling one’s power wisely and humbly; and overcoming the weariness that comes with old age.

3. Without a personal vision you cannot conti-nue on your path. You have to know what

you want and set that as your most important goal .

4. Mastery is not about one-shot performan-ces. It is about the ability to do great perfor-

mances time after time .

5. Masters radiate tranquillity and peace, while beginners are restless and troubled. Masters

have reached a state of accord with themselves and their environments.

6. Masters can make mistakes. They use them to de-velop their eagerness to learn new things.

7. You can only become a master with help of others. Masters need role models and mentors to help them deve-

lop to their full potential. Masters can also develop themselves by transfer-ring their wisdom to others.

8. Masters raise their bar all the time. The performance criteria for mas-ters rise higher and higher after every performance.

9. Masters face life humbly. True masters do not need to assert them-selves because deeds and modesty speak louder than words. They

give praise to those who deserve it and do not steal credits from others.

10 . Human life is short. Everyone must choose their own personal mission and follow the course it sets for each individual. Mastery

is about a calling. Without it cannot become a master. The best masters are masters in how they use their time.

Focused programsTiimiakatemia® Methods can be used in a wide variety of environments: in uni-versities, secondary schools, companies, small business clusters and third-sec-tor communities. We offer focused and tailor-made programs to specific target groups with industry or organization-related challenges.

“I was inspired by the coaching program even before participating in it as it emphasised leadership by coaching. I found the joy of learning

through the program, and it became a part of my life. I meet all kinds of people from all walks of life in my job. I was able to apply ideas that I got from the pro-gram to these meetings. Before the program I felt more like an expert than a leader. The program helped me to become more aware of my role as a lea-der. Leadership where coaching is at the centre is about providing opportuni-ties for people to reach higher levels of performance in their work and lives.”
