Achieving and Regenerating Organizational Health & Balance
Foundations 2 of the Genuine Contact™ Program
Your organization is like the human body and requires a life nurturing terrain that is healthy and balanced for optimum performance. On his deathbed, Pasteur said: "I had it wrong,...go after the interior terrain!" Your body requires an alkaline interior terrain (a pH of 7.0 or higher) to stay healthy. If the body does not have an alkaline interior terrain, disease (cancer, diabetes, heart disease, digestive disorders, etc.) set in and the cells, no matter how many nutrients are provided, cannot absorb the nutrients. Explore what the equivalent is in your organization and why nutrients such as rewards and training sometimes don't get absorbed.
Imagine your computer working without a healthy "operating system". Neither can your organization.
You are invited to a workshop in which you will learn to go after the terrain of your organization and learn to restore it so that your organization can thrive in these rapidly changing times. You will learn to attend to "the operating system". You will learn the importance of balance, cleansing, and nourishing in a way similar to the holistic approach to the health of the human body of balancing, cleansing, and nourishing. Every organism including every organization has within it the blueprint for its own health. There is a path, through cleansing, balancing and nourishing, to find it.
Your learning from this experiential, interactive workshop will assist you in exploring the state of health of your organization from a holistic organizational growth perspective and in developing your own prescription towards achieving and maintaining a healthy organization in these rapidly changing times.
You will leave the workshop equipped with:
- A practical holistic diagnostic framework for looking at your own organization.
- A practical, holistic framework for achieving and maintaining long-term organizational health.
- Knowledge of how to increase the capacity of your organization to work with these rapidly changing times
- A completed diagnosis of your organization, from your perspective (or from the perspective of your Management Team/Board if you attend together)
- An understanding of the importance of relationships, that are based on genuine contact, to achieve results beyond your expectations
Our Approach
Our teaching model is rooted in experience. The foundational facilitation process for the workshop is Whole Person Process Facilitation, which pays attention to 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, one other, 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.
Facilitator Team
Donna Clark (Nova Scotia), Michelle Cooper (Ontario), and Marquis Bureau (Québec) make up our facilitation team. They are authorized Genuine Contact™ Trainers and Co-Owners who have been working with the program for a number of years. This partnership, incorporated as Courage Group International offers participants the opportunity to learn from Genuine Contact Professionals working across Canada and internationally in a variety of sectors. It also allows us to offer the Genuine Contact workshops both in English and French, providing participants with a unique and customized learning experience.
