What is the BLA and what can I do with it?

BLA stands for Breakthrough Leadership App.
Our mission at atrain (the provider of the BLA) is to create the conditions for people to break through.

While everyone’s breakthrough is unique, each includes a personal transformation grown out of deep introspection.
With this transformation, people can go beyond what they thought was possible.

The BLA supports leaders in this introspection and transformation, helping them understand how their beliefs, values, experiences, and learnings are influencing their behaviors along seven key dimensions.

Enablers and blockers capture each dimension.
Enablers are the behaviors we consciously decide to apply, based on a clear perception of reality and using courage and compassion.
Blockers represent automatic reactions, triggered by conscious and unconscious fears, that cause us to behave in ineffective ways.

The BLA asks you, a leader, to self-reflect on these enablers and blockers, thinking about how well each enabler describes you on a “good day” and how well each blocker describes you on a “bad day.” Next, you invite others to similarly indicate how well each enabler and blocker describes you.

Collecting these responses into a summary report offers a clearer perspective on how others view your behavior as a leader. From this foundation, you can create development loops in the BLA to support you in working on the areas you want to improve by collecting open feedback from others after key events.
