The Griggs Mastery Academy
Professional Development for Leaders & Innovators

10 Courses - 10 Books - 10 Months

Skill building courses, pioneering books and memorable simulations for managers and supervisors to become great leaders.

Griggs Achievement has pioneered a concept called Balanced Mastery. This is the basis for our 10 month Griggs Mastery Academy (Denver, Fort Collins, Silicon Valley/Bay Area, Paris, France)

This life-enhancing series goes beyond basic management or leadership training.  Designed by ex. Intel Corporation training manager, the Academy teaches people to approach mastery course content, public speaking, reading for habit & critical thinking skills. The result is a balanced human-being capable of high achievement. 

Balance is the tool…Achievement is the goal
