Power of Balance Series of Workshops for Organizational Transformation
Power of Balance is about the ability to balance between positive and negative emotions, winning and losing, the good and the bad - the yin and yang – to stay alert, focussed and aware to face the daily life of radical uncertainty and contradictions. It is about finding the flow state by becoming whole brained (combining the left and right hemisphere with intention and purpose). Being whole brained helps in staying calm through the tension of values, ethics, behaviours through volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity - when compromise is required, to stay resolute to make difficult decisions and keep the harmony. This Power of Balance requires both physical and emotional stamina.
This is natural for some, yet for others it requires a strong will and strength to find this balance – externally remaining calm, but internally in turmoil and conflicted, can erode resolve and resilience. This may breed stress in an insidious way and may lead to despair and illness.
That is why every leader needs a trusted friend - an independent objective advisor, a provocative mentor, a coach -who understands the corporate world and beyond in the ground realities - who has wide ranging global experience working in a full spectrum of areas and situations from business, government, non-governmental, advocacy and aid agencies - who knows the fundamental universal laws of thermodynamics through an engineering education and continues a deep inquiry into the psychology of the mind, neuroscience of the brain - marrying them with ancient philosophies and sacred spiritual practices such as mindfulness bringing them to the organizational management and leadership sphere.
Understanding and being in touch with grass roots realities within and outside the organization is crucial to a successful leader and finally realizing our interconnected cause and effect nature in the web of life is foundational.
