Transformative Growth in the
Age of Permacrisis

OpenMindedness: A workshop for C suites and personnel

Permacrisis: an extended period of instability and insecurity resulting in a reduction in most people’s personal drives to make the world better from their place in the working economy.


How can we turn the tide of negative performance trends in business?
By inspiring a new view of the world and of the individual, built upon traditional human values as seen in a new light.
Gallup recently concluded that we are facing a pandemic of mental health problems.

 

There has never been a workshop like this one

      • Operational methods to achieve a high-performance Flow state team.
      • The new social compact between employer and employee.
      • Optimizing short- and long-term return on marketing.
      • Becoming One with the community.

The entire workforce can become inspired. Leadership can opt to share parts or the full workshop with all personnel. A suggestions manual can be distributed electronically to the whole team. A video program of methods of increasing personal effectiveness can also be shared with all employees.
