Leadership?
We live in a volatile, uncertain and complex world, filled with bewildering ambiguity and constant upgrades.
We are hyper-connected, globalised, distracted and stressed, with little or no time to reflect.
Big data algorithms and digital empires are part of our daily reality. We have more information but work with more uncertainty.
Economies of scale are being replaced with economies of learning..
Business transformation is hindered by hidden fears, insecurities and, attitudes that were not dealt with.
According to Business Insider, more South Africans are resigning from their jobs in search of healthier company culture and better work-life balance as opposed to just wanting a higher salary, as was the case before the Covid-19 pandemic. The pandemic has led to changes in employee behaviour, and these changes require leaders to implement solutions that allow their organizations to thrive in order to remain at the forefront of their industries.
Our program is based on the research of Dr Viktor Frankl, a Holocaust survivor better known for his book Man’s Search for Meaning and his philosophy which offers a roadmap for finding meaning and purpose in tough times.

Our
Approach
Our
Approach
As humans we are still foraging, but instead of turning over rocks in search of insects and nuts, we are searching to understand it all. Our deepest motivating force is to make a difference, to experience meaning and live with purpose. We want to be of service and add value to the people around us. To feel needed and appreciated makes life feel worthwhile.
The Foundational mindfulness leadership introduces participants to the basic concepts of Logotherapy of how to discover more meaning at work and mindfulness, the mental predisposition in order to do so.
We are the only organisation that combines meaning and mindfulness in his way. Mindfulness is the mental capability to focus and pay attention to what is happing the moment. It is the development of internal emotional stability and control over your own mind. It helps you to stay focused, remain calm and develop deeper insights into what is happening around you.
This is the new frontier of human development. It is not about getting someplace else, but rather about being fully aware of where you already are. It is about taking control of your own mind and using it for the full benefit of the world around you. To become aware of our existential realities and what is truly meaningful.
The fusion of cutting edge behavioural science from the modern western world with ancient contemplative traditions serves to future proof participants for the challenges of tomorrow.
