We don’t start with behavior or strategy.
We start with the awareness of your humanity and your biology.
If you don’t know who you are and why your nervous system is going haywire, no tactic or leadership model will stick.
So …
We focus on Neurobiology, Story and Practice
Neurobiology tells us that your brain automatically reacts (both physiologically and emotionally) to the stressors of your life. Whether in a board room or the family office, your nervous system reacts to protect you from perceived threats. Your ability to communicate deteriorates and you struggle to make clear, wise decisions, which often leads to damaged relationships and poor strategic choices.
The present situation echos previous Stories and patterns of relationships that you have experienced before. You can’t find a new path because the old ones have become so engrained that you are running on auto-pilot. You are stuck in a cycle that creates the pain you are in, and there is a need to become aware of where you are, where you want to be, and what you need to do to get there.
Practicing awareness of yourself and Practicing more effective responses to environmental stimuli creates change in you and in the system that you are part of.
The Fundamental Challenge
Need for Reflection
And so, there is a need to pause, reflect, and assess what is going on in your mind and body to be able to act with clarity and purpose. Clarity and Purpose put into action leads to Flourishing.
Generative reflection rarely happens without another person to provide a new perspective. We often get stuck in our viewpoint, and struggle to see from a different angle. A wise guide will ask questions you have not been able to generate yourself, making it possible for you to find your new, effective answer.
