A.  Inspiration / Introspection:

1. The Chocolate Cake Meditation
As an introduction to mindful living, The Chocolate Cake Meditation awakens a new way of thinking and feeling about life, work and chocolate cake eating. Expert guidance ensures that the mind and senses are fully engaged during this unusual experience.

2. The CEO of the Mind
All of us have an inner CEO who has to attend inner "Board Meetings" in order to receive direction about how to live and work, and to receive balanced feedback about our performance.  Certain things can go wrong when the CEO goes AWOL, or when he /she is  too busy to attend the Board Meetings.  Fortunately,  the Board is always willing to provide a clean slate for a CEO who is willing to show up at the next Board Meeting...  The CEO of the Mind covers The 5 Personal Energy Management  KPI's to which our inner CEO is held accountable and thereby provides invaluable insight towards optimal personal energy management.

3.  Being ME among US
Each of us wants to be an individual who achieves special things and is acknowledged for being unique and valuable. At the same time, we also desire a sense of connection, of belonging, of fitting in - want to be part of relationships and groups.   If we don't figure out how to balance these two equally important but opposite basic life forces, we find ourselves either personally successful but isolated and therefore miserable, OR successfully part of groups and relationships, but personally lost and unfulfilled.  Being ME among US highlights how awareness of the 4 aspects of Self-Differentiation can help us to find a healthy balance between the drive for Individuality and the drive for Togetherness.

4.  Chill & Charge Retreats
For new teams, or teams who acquired several new members, this day is designed to let people relax and open up to one another.  In this way they get to know and like one another in a surprisingly short time - which holds immeasurable benefits for productive working relationships back at the office.

Established teams who have been working hard and achieved well deserve to be treated to a day of relaxation and indulgence. The Chill & Charge Retreat offers exaxtly that, and more:  the facilitated reflection, inspiration and intention setting ensures that the team returns to the office physically refreshed AND mentally / emotionally recharged.

B.  Soft Skills

1.  Giving and Receiving Feedback:  A benchmarked approach
Performance appraisal situations can be a minefield of carefully chosen words and equally carefully disguised emotions where both parties end up feeling frustrated and not fully understood.  The benchmarked approach to Giving and Receiving Feedback offers an advanced alternative strategy which turns formal and informal appraisal situations into rich learning experiences, whether the appraisal itself was positive or not.

2.  Rapport-building Secrets
Strong relationships are always rooted in strong rapport between individuals, and this underlies what it takes to really get along with one's leaders, team members and customers (and family and friends).  When we encounter people and "match" certain aspects of their way of being human, we convey the message that in some ways we are "just like" the other person.  When this happens, people tend to like and trust each other and the stage is set for productive business and personal relationships.  Rapport-Building Secrets include a checklist of 24 ways of being human that we can authentically match, once we are aware of them.
