Retooling for Professional Excellence


                  

"To realize the principle within your own heart,

do not just read, memorize, or imitate, instead,

study hard to absorb these things into your body.”


Miyamoto Musashi, A Book of Five Rings

BUT NOT SUFFICIENT

to create the changes

required for optimal results.

Our approach is based on East/West research that integrates the practical Asian methods for cultivating excellence with the state of the art in performance technology along with Western science and systems thinking.

We are particularly successful with, what might be called, Difficult Human Issues, that is, situations or problems that seem to resist change initiatives.  In other words, the people are smart, motivated, and skilled yet somehow something seems to be blocking or sabotaging their efforts.

Systems-thinking tells us that every situation is formed and sustained by the interactions between multiple concerns, people, goals, and histories.  Our strategy focuses on factors with powerful impact and low visibility.  

Our technology was designed to influence these powerfully influential factors.  Especially,

  • How the individual, team, or system responds to stress, pressure, and conflict.
  • The 90% non-verbal factor as it shapes perceptions and choices.
  • The bureaucratic-like resistance of habit to change initiatives.
  • The animal forces that underlie, drive, and sustain politics and turf wars.
  • The infrastructure that links what we say with what we do.
  • Cultivating the versatility to move beyond type and familiar patterns.
  • Developing the difficult to train human skills that can make or break any endeavor.

in the midst of danger,
aware and ready to respond,
  is what the most accomplished people are able to do."
