The Excellence Series goes beyond providing participants with new tools and motivation; a key ingredient to these courses is the support to keep participants moving forward. Developed and delivered to help individuals to achieve more in life with ease, the Excellence Series produces lasting results.
This three course series begins with the Pursuit of Excellence, which lays the foundation for achieving success in all areas of life. The Wall is the second in the series and focuses on breaking through the barriers that keep people from moving forward in life. The Advancement of Excellence is a working practicum in which participants are supported to put the tools into practice.
The Pursuit of Excellence by Context International
Designed to enhance people’s effectiveness so they move forward, get great results, and contribute to others the Pursuit of Excellence is the foundation for all our seminars. Although it is designed to be part of the series, the Pursuit of Excellence can be taken alone. It is a stimulating, results-oriented course that prepares participants to take their next step in life with excellence.
Through this dynamic workshop, participants learn, integrate and apply key elements of success in a short period of time. The Pursuit of Excellence is experiential education at its best, replacing what often takes years of experience to learn.
- Agreement Creation: Structure and gain agreements that dramatically impact personal and professional results.
- Conflict Resolution: Resolve conflicts in a way that not only clears issues but enhances relationships.
- Leadership Style: Determine your own leadership style and learn how to interact effectively with others based on the nuances of their style.
- Commitments: Examine the meaning of personal and professional commitments and establish a structure for making and keeping commitments.
- Stress Reduction: Acquire tools and ways of thinking to prevent and reduce stress and the associated health problems.
- Effective Relationships: Evaluate your relationship effectiveness and adopt new relationship skills that have immediate application and proven results.
- Purpose: Clarity around situational purpose is key to achieving consistent and satisfying results. Knowledge of life purpose creates meaning. Begin the process of clarifying both situational and life purpose in this course.
The Wall by Context International
The Wall is a dynamic, in-depth seminar that assists participants in clarifying life purpose and in defining exactly what factors need to be present in order to create a rich, fulfilling life. Through a guided process, participants also identify and break through what could be in the way of “having it all”.
Building on the work done in The Pursuit of Excellence participants:
- Clarify Purpose: clarify what is most important to you, create a personal definition of success that includes all elements that must be present to experience fulfillment and success.
- Identify Framework for Participation: Identify the most appropriate ways to participate in life to achieve your life purpose.
- Develop Long-Term Vision: Develop a clear picture of what you want your life to be about, personally and professionally.
- Position Release: Learn how to let go of attitudes, habits, and patterns that do not support full participation and success in life and replace them with workable positions.
- Break Through Walls: Participants identify and break through barriers that stop them from creating the results they want.
Advancement of Excellence by Context International
Considered by many to be the most powerful course of the Excellence Series, the Advancement of Excellence is a working practicum that supports, encourages, and enhances the momentum set in motion during the first two seminars. Delivered over eight weeks, participants put what they have learned into practice and are supported and challenged to take constructive steps to actualize their dreams, goals, and deepest desires.
The overall assignment in the Advancement of Excellence is to create tangible, measureable results that show you are living large and participants do! As a result this course is often described as the place “where the rubber hits the road”.
This course is conducted over eight weeks and consists of two weekend seminars (Foundation Weekend and Relationship Weekend), weekly meetings, and culminates in a celebratory commencement dinner and dance.
Participants graduate from this course with a great deal of confidence and evidence in their ability to create what they want in life. They realize accomplishments they once only dreamed of!
Mastery I by Context International
From a desire for a rich, fulfilling life, our personal and professional experience has led us to this position: Life has meaning. We are alive for one generic purpose. That is to make the fullest contribution possible. Each of our contributions is unique in that we are each here to fully express who we are. The more specific and targeted that contribution, the richer and more satisfying is one’s life.
Mastery I is designed to assist graduates of The Excellence Series in answering the questions implied above. Some of those questions are:
- Why am I alive?
- What does my life mean?
- What is my unique contribution?
Those who have not yet answered these questions for themselves will do so in Mastery. Those who believe they have answered these questions for themselves will confirm their accuracy in Mastery. The confirmation alone is more than worth the investment of time, money and energy.
Mastery is offered in two parts:
Mastery I, is conducted in a retreat setting over a five-day period from 6:00 p.m. on Wednesday through 5:00 p.m. on Sunday.
Mastery II is offered in a workshop setting, over a three-day period from Friday through Sunday. As in all of the Context courses, in Mastery you can expect to be treated with the utmost respect, to have fun and to meet some wonderful people, many of whom will become lifelong friends.
Mastery II by Context International
Mastery II is designed to help graduates of Mastery I to answer more of life’s questions. With the foundation laid in Mastery I, participants are guided through a process to clarify the answers to these questions:

Mastery II is offered in a workshop setting, over a three-day period from Friday through Sunday. As in all of the Context courses, in Mastery you can expect to be treated with the utmost respect, to have fun and to meet some wonderful people, many of whom will become lifelong friends.
