“I’m a team leader at Tiimiakatemia Jyväskylä. This
position inspired me to learn more about coaching
and leadership. That’s why I participated in the Junior pro-
gram. The program gave me an idea of what kind of lea-
dership style fits me best. Junior gave me huge amount

Both the Tiimiakatemia Senior Team Coach cer-
tificate and the program linked to it were oppor-
tunities for me to take my team coaching competency to
a new level. The majority of the people I coach are teach-
ers from vocational schools. Thus my ‘senior challenge’ was
about developing team coaching practices and models for
them. On the ‘senior level’, you get to have discussions with
experienced team coaches who have done and seen a lot. I
was looking for new ideas that would help me overcome my
challenges – and I got a lot!”

15. 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 Programs
Tiimiakatemia® 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.”
