10 DIMENSIONS OF EXECUTIVE LEADERSHIP
WHAT  is The Galileo Initiative?

The Galileo Initiative is a training and consulting group dedicated to helping organizations and individuals thrive and effectively deal with today's fast-changing world. As such we teach and model key concepts related to perception, belief, and behavior change that produce lasting results.

Galileo Initiative training and products open new windows on personal and organizational effectiveness, performance, and sustainable change in a wide range of curriculum. They are available to businesses, organizations, and individuals worldwide.
WHO  is The Galileo Initiative?

The Galileo Initiative was founded in 2002 by Hyrum W. Smith, internationally recognized authority on change, best-selling author, keynote speaker, originator of the Franklin Day Planner, and co-founder of Franklin Covey Co.

The Galileo Initiative brings together the talent of acknowledged experts in change, behavior modification, communication, consulting, training and development. Their consulting and training expertise has enhanced performance for hundreds of thousands of individuals and organizations throughout the world for the past two decades.
WHY  Galileo?

Through his inventions, telescopes and observations, Galileo Galilei (1564-1642) opened new windows on the earth and heavens, and helped people in his day and since to see the natural world more clearly.

We take inspiration from Galileo's efforts and seek in our day to help people and organizations see themselves, others, and the world around them with greater clarity and understanding.
  WHY  Galileo Initiative Training?

Traditionally, training aimed at bringing about individual and organizational behavior change has focused on the behavior to be changed--implementing the new initiative, getting people on board about a change in policy, the elimination of unproductive activity or practices. Meetings are called, training programs are held, much effort is put into producing the desired behavior--and too often little actually changes.

Overturning long-held perceptions about how to change behavior, recent research about how the mind works has shown that beliefs--our perceptions about ourselves and the world around us--are the key determinants in bringing about lasting behavior change. Using the metaphor of the Belief Window, Galileo Initiative training helps organizations and individuals understand why they behave as they do, and teaches processes and skills that are effective in bringing about positive, sustainable change.
