Is Your Business Good to Grow?
Are You Fit to Thrive in Any Economy?
Spend a weekend exploring the power of mindful business design.
Combining key insights from Neuroscience, Martial Arts, and the lessons of 30 years consulting with demanding business leaders, this weekend workshop will introduce The Master Moves™ of Commerce, and apply them directly to participants’ enterprises. Practicing the Moves will reveal opportunities for richer exchanges with clients, employees, and others who may drive your results.
Mastering the Moves brings a full spectrum of power - language, emotion, posture, energy, and spirit - to business design. In this weekend, you’ll gain greater mindfulness, and leave with a few strategic actions for growing a sound business - not to mention a new cadre of learning colleagues.
Who should attend? If you’re running a business or non-profit and want to break through the invisible barriers that are draining your energy and impeding your progress, this workshop may be a good fit. |
Why now? Coming out of the recession is a clarion call for new thinking. No business will thrive by hoping that the old ways are good enough. This weekend is an opportunity to rethink the foundations of your business, and get you in shape to grow. Be part of a small group of no more than 20 people, 50% experiential/50% didactic, in a beautiful retreat setting 1 hr from Portland, OR September 17–19.

Sparking Neuroplasticity, Curiosity, and Ingenuity

Use insights from Neuroscience to make your people smarter and more responsive.
- You've never needed to know about neuroscience before. Why is it important now? The business environment begs for fresh thinking, but the brain's response to fear and uncertainty is often to shut down inquiry and innovation.
- We'll demystify key brain functions that business relies on. Learn how to engage attention, and optimize receptivity and responsiveness.
- Focus on the key questions for your business. 50% of the day is practical. Participants choose challenges for practice and leave with concrete applications.
Topics will include:
- Catalyzing curiosity and discovery as ongoing states.
- Using questions to spark intelligence and ingenuity.
- Illuminating how stress impacts the brain, and learning practices to minimize its costly effects.
We can bring 1 day, half-day , or 2-hour or modules to your organization.
