We design leadership programs to build and sustain a leadership culture of collaboration and accountability across the organization. Our cutting edge action-learning, cohort programs are always highly interactive while focused on real organizational issues and solutions. Every session ends with clear “next step actions” for each participant—including a plan for accountability.
The work we do in our body intelligence programs is to raise awareness of automatic or unconscious processes and patterns. Most of our patterns were learned as a way of staying safe in our environments. At some point in time, they were useful. As we grow some of our old patterns no longer serve.
Good managers don’t just manage, they also help their employees work better and smarter. With a few techniques, managers can also be coaches and can help inspire, energize and motivate their staff.
This program is ideal for anyone who leads or participates in meetings. We will provide you with the practical tools, training and materials to master meetings. It works wonders.
You will get simple models for understanding what’s really going on in groups and elegant strategies for transforming resistance. You will learn to apply the power of intention and get plenty of practice dealing with your most challenging group situations. This course will transform you and the way you lead.
Reboot! offers simple, elegant and remarkably effective techniques for handling difficult conversations and building better relationships. In this course, you will learn how to prepare for and conduct productive conversations with colleagues and employees.
Many of the methods leaders, coaches and consultants focus on today: reflection, reframing, current state/future state analysis rely on cognitive skills and emotional awareness. These approaches certainly have validity and are essential for deeper understanding of the genesis of patterns. It is commonly believed that we can change our behavior by reasoning or thinking but biologically this is inaccurate. We don’t change by thinking about it. The body is the most direct and fastest route to change.
The vast majority of our behavior is generated on autopilot because it happens outside of our consciousness. We operate on learned habits and instincts 95-99% of the time. We believe we are choosing how to behave, but our rational mind plays a limited role in producing behavior. The body plays a far greater role than we have previously thought in our perception. Body intelligence is the next frontier.
The theory of body intelligence is based on the idea that we can “know” all the right things to do, but when confronted with stress, our bodies revert to Fight/Flight or Freeze. Under stress, our thinking is impaired and we lose access to our innate creativity. This program offers a methodology for assessing how our bodies organize under pressure and provides simple and powerful exercises that help us recover a more open, uplifted and skillful state. From more resourced state we have access more satisfying and skillful ways to interact with others and ourselves. Skillful use of body intelligence is critical to how people experience us.
This fun, experiential program is based in science and employs a clear, interactive learning format. Participants will leave with immediate and impactful takeaway tools.
