The Shift Network – The Ultimate Man Course
Life presents men with an array of challenges, from financial pressures to relationship dynamics, work-related stress, health concerns, and the ever-evolving landscape of existence. In the midst of this, we also grapple with feedback and criticism from others, competition, and the multifaceted roles we play in our families and communities.
Moreover, the uncertainty of the future and the daunting global issues we face, such as economic instability, political turmoil, and environmental crises, add another layer of complexity to our lives. Often, we find ourselves isolated, lacking the support of a cohesive community of men.
Now, imagine a life where:
You approach your work and relationships with renewed passion and purpose.
Your clarity about your life’s mission translates into tangible success.
You experience a significant boost in productivity and effectiveness.
You exude confidence and authenticity in every aspect of your life.
You cultivate deep, meaningful connections with other like-minded men.
You harness your full potential to make a meaningful impact on the world.
You effortlessly create the life you desire.
If this vision resonates with you, then you’re already on the path to becoming an Ultimate Man.
The journey to becoming an Ultimate Man is not a destination but a continuous process of refining your best qualities, engaging in practices that elevate your character, and making conscious choices to enhance your life.
At the core of this journey are your virtues – your inherent qualities that define your character. Like a knife sharpened on a whetstone, virtues are honed through consistent practice, shaping you into a man of integrity and excellence.
In the Ultimate Man course, you’ll embark on a transformative journey guided by some of the foremost experts in the men’s movement. Over nine weeks of immersive classes and practices, you’ll:
Strengthen your integrity and enhance your reputation.
Discover your unique gifts, life purpose, and mission.
Learn to approach your endeavors with passion and authenticity.
Cultivate your innate leadership qualities and leverage them to effect positive change.
Immerse yourself fully in every aspect of your life with embodied presence.
Master the art of accountability through partnership and mutual support.
Release past programming and beliefs that hinder your progress.
Develop the skills to effortlessly manifest your desires in life.
Forge deep connections within a community of men dedicated to personal growth and service.
The Ultimate Man course offers a platform for continuous growth and evolution. It’s not about fixing what’s broken because ultimately, you’re not broken – you’re a work in progress, continually evolving into the best version of yourself.
Join us on this extraordinary journey of self-discovery and empowerment. Together, let’s unleash the full potential of Homo Novus – the New Man – and usher in a new era of integrity, authenticity, and power.
Let’s face it, men. Life can be stressful. Daily we deal with financial pressures, relationship problems, work and job difficulties, aging, health issues, too much to do, not enough time, and everything changing too rapidly to catch up.
And then there’s things like feedback and criticism from women, competition with other men, being a great husband, father, brother or son – all while trying to be of service to our communities.
On top of all that, we face an uncertain future and huge challenges for our planet and civilization — economic uncertainties, job losses, political turmoil, wars, environmental disasters and critical resource limitations.
Most of us feel isolated, too – we don’t have the support of our team, our brothers or a community of men.
So, imagine what your life would actually be like if:
- You are free to bring more passion to your work and your romantic relationship.
- You are clear in your life’s purpose and know how to be successful.
- You dramatically increase your productivity and effectiveness.
- You are comfortable in your own skin and could always be true to yourself.
- You have deep, honest and soulful connections with other good men.
- You tap into your full power and had a significant impact on the world.
- You are easily able to create the life you want
If a life like this sounds like what you want, you’re already on the road to becoming an Ultimate Man.
“Ultimate” isn’t a destination you reach someday and then you’re done. It’s a continual process of honing your best qualities, engaging in practices that enhance your goodness and making better choices to become more and more successful in your life.
Your best qualities are known as virtues. The term “virtues” sounds a bit old-fashioned, but the concept has a rich history. Aristotle (384 – 322 BC) said, “The greatest virtues are those which are most useful to other persons.”
Virtues are developed through repeated practice – like a knife being sharpened on a whetstone through continuous strokes.
During the course, you’ll learn practices you can engage in to become more accountable to yourself and others. This will sharpen your integrity. Like that knife, you’ll press yourself up against your own highest values, until your edges are sharp and clearly defined. Over time, you become known as a man of integrity.
Do you want to feel more personal power and have greater impact at work, in relationships and in the world?
If so, join us for an extraordinary training with some of today’s greatest teachers in the men’s movement.
In the nine weeks of classes and practices, you will:
- Enhance your integrity and improve your reputation
- Identify your gifts, your life purpose and your mission in life
- Learn to bring yourself fully and passionately to your chosen endeavors

- Practice bringing your full, embodied presence to everything you do

The Ultimate Man course is designed to give you a platform for continuous growth and development. It’s not designed to fix you. Because, ultimately, you’re not broken – and you don’t need to be repaired.
In this course, you’ll learn from experts – men who have honed themselves throughout their lives to be the best men they can be. These are teachers who know how to manifest their heart’s desires, men who walk their talk, men who have proven themselves over and over to be men of virtue:
- Robert Moore , author of King, Warrior, Magician, Lover, on Connecting to Soul & Spirit
- Keith Merron, author of The Golden Flame, on Bringing Out Your Inner Leader
- Satyen Raja , creator of Warrior/Sage Trainings, on Living With 100% Passion
- Jayson Gaddis, men’s coach and trainer, on Being Completely Authentic
- Bill Kauth and David Kaar of The ManKind Project, on Connecting to Supportive Men
- Stephen Dinan , Founder of The Shift Network, on Activating the Sacred Masculine
What’s the proof that it works?
Ask any of the teachers, speakers, and luminaries that we interviewed during The Ultimate Men’s Summit. They have all engaged in their own self-development for decades. They lead happy, successful lives and are making a huge difference in the lives of other. It works – if you do the work.
The single most valuable gift you can give yourself is to engage in practices that hone your virtues. It will improve every aspect of your life, and the lives of those around you. During the Ultimate Man Course, that’s exactly what we’ll do – together.
An Invitation from Host Lion Goodman
Dear Allies,
You may not know this, but you’re a member of a new breed of human being: Homo Novus (or “New Man”). My first mentor, T.D. Lingo, coined this term 40 years ago to describe men who have broken away from the past and are forging a new path into the future.
Most of us have recognized that the old male role models don’t work for us. The rugged individualist, the macho guy, the corporate drone and the 1950s family provider are long outdated. In times of rapid change, being stuck inside a particular identity isn’t just self-limiting – it’s dangerous. We need to prepare for a future that’s unknown and unknowable.
In a stable world, the more you know, the more likely you are to survive and thrive. But in an unstable, unpredictable world, knowledge isn’t enough. What’s required is awareness, adaptability, flexibility and further development of your virtues.
You’ve probably worked on yourself for months, years or decades. You’ve already been cultivating your truth, integrity and goodness. You’ve taken an initiatory workshop, joined a men’s group or done therapy. It’s a long and winding road with plenty of bumps along the way. But with the support of others, we make steady progress. In business terms, we are practicing what’s called “Continuous Quality Improvement.”
I believe we’re never actually done with our inner work. Over time, we become more and more ourselves: more comfortable in our own skin, more committed to living our life in service to others, more skilled at self-correcting when we go wrong. We learn to be vulnerable, tender and caring without losing our core strength. We are Homo Novus.
That’s why we created this course, The Ultimate Man: Activating a Life of Integrity, Authenticity and Power, with some of the best teachers of men in the country.
The most exciting aspect of this program is the orientation toward practices – the real application of our inner work into daily reality. This is where the rubber meets the road. This is where you show up – or you don’t. It’s where all the real learning is.
Throughout the course, we’ll be using an integrity practice called The Promise Game. This is a new twist on the concept of accountability – removing the negative connotations we have with promises (shame, blame and punishment if you break a promise) and replacing it with a highly supportive learning game. Don’t miss this chance to learn this potent methodology. It will help you accomplish everything you want in your life.
There will also be some surprises, including bonus speakers, free articles and more. But the real gift is the one you give yourself by participating. Dive deeper into yourself in the company of great men. Engage in practices that will hone your virtues, fine-tune your integrity, amplify your passion, extend your connections and cultivate your Soul!
I’m grateful to The Shift Network for this opportunity to share what I’ve learned in my 40+ years of self-development and men’s work, and for the ability to form a spirited community of inquiry and practice that will nurture your soul while bringing healing to your relationships, your families, your clients, your community and our world.
This is a powerful moment of global change, and we’ve got our work cut out for us. Let’s become the men we’ve been waiting for, rock the house and build a new world.
