Our foundational program, The Heart of Leadership is a personal and professional developmental conversation which unleashes heart, spirit, wisdom, and power in life and in business. This program brings into being the core ingredients for creating a life worth living for individuals, for exploring their own access to community, to belonging, and to soaring spirit. It enables people to develop a culture in the workplace for trust, partnership, collaboration, accomplishment, and the fulfillment of human beings.
Elements included are: pathways for open, honest, authentic communication based in powerful listening; honor and regard for one's own and others' unique contribution; a capacity to take risks and embrace mistakes; integrity; the ability to fulfill intentions and accomplishments collaboratively through powerful conversational pathways; the key to creating breakthroughs from breakdowns; and an increased ability to forward and empower others to fulfill their intentions.
This program opens up territory for people to connect with living life from a place of profundity, meaning, joy, and inspiration while creating accomplishment with decreasing effort.
While The Heart of Leadership is frequently offered as a program within organizations in behalf of creating a new culture inside an organization, it is currently being offered to the public on April 17, 18, 19 and May 8 and 9, 2012.

Designing a Vision: Living From a Meaningful Future
Each of us has our own work to fulfill our own life to lead, our own mission. But we don't often give ourselves room to deeply address what that work is. This program allows clients to explore that question in a context of rigor, compassion and clarity, and then to structure their lives and/or their organizations for the fulfillment of that vision. This program is for individuals as well as their spouses, business partners, and small management teams creating their future together. Participants come out of this conversation powerfully in action in the present, unconstrained by the past, coming from a vital and enlivening future.
Customer Service
In these uncertain and competitive times, how we take care of our customers, providing extraordinary relationship and service, may be the critical element which allows us to differentiate ourselves in the marketplace, and create and sustain customer loyalty. This program explores the spiritual, relational, structural and communicative dimensions of breakthrough customer service.
