The Best Future Self Now™ Process?
Learning2LEAD Guiding Principles
Start with an "Are We a Fit?" call and if we both agree to work together, we'll:
Take the "Three Way Mirror" set of Self Assessments
Agree on concrete Aims and Desired End State
Meet 2/month ~1.5 hours, each (custom-designed, not a blank slate agenda)
Build deep inner wisdom through Re:Source Coaching
Apply the time-tested Harvard Change Pentad throughout the process
Human Beings are incomplete. Nature (and nurture) develop us to a point, meeting our basic biological and functional needs. We become functionally capable of working and relating in the world. With luck and pluck, we might even excel in our given field of endeavor. As Living Systems, we continue to grow --regenerating (or degenerating).
Over time and through social conditioning, we function automatically and unconsciously. Knee-jerk thoughts and feelings become invisible patterns and personal preferences. At work, we copy generic best practices or what worked before. Rinse and repeat.
As evolutionary Partners, we aim for developing inner capacity and outer change by applying a proprietary technology that includes:
Systemic Thinking Frameworks: Instruments to disrupt stale thinking and grasp complexity
Developmental Reflection: Destabilizes certainty to build inner will(power)
Semantic Language: Awakens deeper meaning, depth, precision and perspectives
Socratic Dialogue: Re:Source coaching returns power to you for insight and discernment
Developmental Pedagogy: We use an anti-hero, self-directed approach to learning

Best Future Self Now™ is for...
Conscious-leaning executives, leaders, partners, change agents, and creative entrepreneurs seeking a Developmental approach to evolving capabilities, culture, and consciousness.
Rather than focusing only on "self" improvement, "self" development or "self" actualization, we aim for Self AND Systems development. You'll grow on behalf of a deeply meaningful purpose.
Best Future Self Now™ is is based on modern science and ancient teachings from a psychological perspective. Using Old New Methods, we'll take a structured approach to growing your Best Future Self and Systems.
Best Future Self Now™ is NOT for...
For old-school, "traditional" leaders who prefer to outsource their development to an external expert or guru, relying on a set of best practices that worked in a different context.
Best Future Self Now™ is not generic, off-the-shelf learning. It's a deeply nourishing approach to growing internal capabilities. Thinking with discernment takes practice and time to "bake in" new patterns and to un-learn automatic, knee-jerk reactions.
If you are not ready to challenge outdated paradigms and embrace transformative change, this may not be the right fit for you.

Why me? Why you?
As a previous corporate executive with 30 years experience in leadership, learning, and organization design, I know firsthand that most coaches offer a copy-paste, off-the-shelf approach.
Although development was the goal, it was disappointingly rare. So after decades of learning and unlearning, I joined the Great Resignation and founded Learning2LEAD.
I've designed my meaningful purpose and role to help midlife professionals build their leadership and life legacy.
After investing decades learning what works and what doesn't - so you don't have to, I now help conscious-leaning, Practical Visionaries seeking their next-stage role and contribution - professionally and personally.
I’ve served leaders, and Change Makers at all levels. Yet my most impactful work is with future-focused leaders, founders, doctors, consultants and academics seeking to design their leadership, life and legacy.
My deep and broad experience includes:
▫️ Masters in Education, Harvard Graduate School of Education
▫️ Master of Science, Organization Development, Pepperdine University
▫️ Advanced Certificate in Organization Design, University of Southern California
▫️ BRAINZ Top 500 in 2021 and 2022
▫️ Certified Professional Coach, IPEC
▫️ Certified High-Performance Habits Coach
▫️ Certified Tiny Habits Coach
▫️ Certified Immunity2CHANGE Facilitator
▫️ Certified Professional Retirement Coach
▫️ Certified Search Inside Yourself Facilitator
▫️ Certified HeartMath Coach and Facilitator
Janet Macaluso, Ed.M., MSOD, CPC
I've invested decades learning what works - and what doesn't - so you won't have to.
