This Organizational Health
and Balance series of experiential workshops prepares participants
to look holistically at the current state of balance of their
organization and to initiate strategies to create a healthy
work environment, strategies that are critical to success
and viability. Participants will learn and apply simple and
practical tools, frameworks and approaches that integrate
ancient wisdom and leading edge practices. These tools have
been used with great success around the world in developed
and developing countries in all kinds of organizations, associations
and communities.
Leaders today know that being a healthy
organization is not optional. A healthy and dynamic working
environment is the precondition for generating skills and
knowledge, collaborative working relationships, change readiness,
resilience, and innovation. Much has been written about WHAT
needs to be done, but there is very little guidance as to
HOW to get there. These workshops help to fill that gap. |

How will my learning benefit my organization?
Rick Colbourne, M.A., AACI, P.App., Regional Manager
PILT, Public Works and Government Services Canada, Atlantic
Region had this to say about an Organizational Health and
Balance process completed with his team:
“There were no more games, just simple truth, caring,
the beginning of understanding and an acknowledgment that
everybody wanted something better and, they were willing to
work for it. That was almost two months ago and the changes
started from the first day we returned to the office…..
What I can’t begin to describe is the light that has
come back into people’s eyes, the energy that has returned
and the willingness to share and help that has developed….and
the “real work” seems to be taking care of itself.” |
We invite participants from corporate, non-profit, education, the
arts, health care or other public sector organizations. If you are
a leader, manager, consultant or anyone who needs to work with others
to achieve results, this program offers new and practical paths
to create the future of your organization.

leaders and leadership. They are foundational to our leader development
programs based on Genuine Contact™.

Our Approach
Our teaching model is rooted in experience. The foundational facilitation process for the workshop is Whole Person Process Facilitation, which pays attention the multidimensional human being including learning styles, different intelligences and levels of consciousness. This facilitation methodology creates conditions that maximize the learning of individual participants and also creates the opportunity for the emergence of collective learning. The process invites participants to make genuine contact with themselves, others, the collective and the community – building relationships and new ways of working together during the workshop. This allows participants to mentor each other as they apply the learning.
