7 CONVICTIONS(and counting)
The solutions to our most complex and pressing challenges, whether environmental, social, economic, political or technological, rest with our ability to consciously re-connect with our deep sense of unity as human beings.
Like in nature, companies and teams are systems: open, ever emerging, complex and interdependent with other organizations.
The only constant is change because life is always evolving.
Whether as people or as organizations, transformation happens when we address both the human-being and the human-doing.
People and teams whose work aligns with their values and fills them with a sense of purpose, work better, learn better, grow and are more resilient.
The more aware we are of our emotions and thoughts, the more we can manage them and have healthy relationships.
The inclusion of all types of talents and profiles makes for stronger, more innovative teams.
HOW
Ways of being meet ways of working
Our approach is
Humanistic – starting from the lived human experience in your workplace, mindful of its complex psychological and relational aspects.
Adaptive – adapting our terms of engagement to your organizational structure and culture whilst challenging it when transformation demands it.
Awareness – raising awareness of the hidden dynamics at play that impede you, without which no change can be anchored.
Co-design – leveraging your collective intelligence to co-create the interventions whether in ‘test&learn’ scenarios or in final implementation mode.
Impact-oriented – aiming to improve the performance KPI as a result of better communication and collaboration within the teams, with the stakeholders, within your eco-system.
…we team up with other seasoned consultants, coaches or facilitators from various eco-systems in function of the specific client’s needs, be it skill-based or language-based.
