THE POWER OF ALIGNMENT (C)

Meditation for Business Results

“When there is alignment between:
the What (the purpose of the organisation)
the Why (the needs of the people) and
the How (the business systems)
 A direct link is established between the organisational needs and systems with the personal goals, values and fulfilment of its people.Right actions flow more easily.”

Questions for every leader

1.Do your managers really know what your key people think and feel about the organisation, or how to engage, stimulate and retain them?

2.Are your people adaptive, self motivated, energized, engaged, invested, loyal, innovative, clear and focused in their actions? If not, why not?

3. Do they feel alignment between their personal well-being, their sense of purpose and how they spend their time working for you?

This deeply experiential half day workshop aligns and engages the business, its customers and its people through simple meditative techniques specifically designed for application in a business environment.

In my years running an advertising agency I learned that spending money to attract external customers could easily be wasted if the key people within the organisation were not feeling engaged enough to really follow through.
 
And in the twenty years I have been a leadership coach, plus delivering management training,I have seen first-hand how and why situations arise where the people in an organisation feel out of touch and uncertain as to whether they can actually contribute to meaningful change.
 
I have also discovered that we all have our own “Personal Source Code” our unique operating system and without our understanding how it works and how to re-write it, our attempts to change are seldom sustainable.
 
When I developed The Art of Not Doing (c), a program designed to give people skills to achieve more with less effort, I found that people loved learning new ideas which empowered them to tap their inner resources and focus on what was important. But participants would often ask  how they could create more alignment between their personal values and goals and those of their organisation, leaders and managers.
 
That was why I developed the Power of Alignment. A program where creative diversity of ideas and true bottom-up participation meets top down thinking from senior management. By using specific meditation techniques, real adaptive, transformative change can emerge in a structured and creative environment.

 

THE BIG PICTURE

Many leaders say that finding and retaining the right talent remains one of their biggest challenges.
Substantial budgets are spent on recruiting, training, motivating and incentivising key people. Yet, in spite of this, 39% of HR managers surveyed report that performance management is failing.
 
The new normal is one of contract workers, gig economies, Brexit, unaffordable housing, AI, robotics, blockchain, changing shopping habits, changing expectations and needs.
 
Paradigm shifts, disruptive technologies and evolving business practises require new skills and approaches to traditional management training and professional development.

WHAT PARTICIPANTS WILL LEARN

  • The fastest way to align your thoughts and actions at the start of every day. The power of simplicity.
  • Our “personal source code” and how we can waste energy trying to change our behaviour and outlook without rewriting it. 
  • Our “corporate source code” – the unwritten rules of the organisation that can sabotage change.
  • How to calibrate where you are now, where you want to be and what to focus on to get there.
  • How our body reflects our inner state and responds to help us with decisions.
