" . . . Your timing and teaching pace was respectful of the group’s learning curve – a group that was quite frankly riveted by your extraordinary command
of both the material and the techniques . . . and your energy and enthusiasm were delightful and
contagious!"

"Kathy, thanks for another terrific session! You modeled the power of opening communication
in situations where it would tend to close down. Great job navigating the dynamics . . . and making teachable points. Thanks
also for the rich handouts; so helpful in furthering
our ability to interact
with presence, curiosity,
and respect for all."

"Become a blackbelt observer and listener . . .

The impact of the deeper levels of listening is profound:
they function like a welding flame on the process of social reality creation.
If cultivated, they can melt the walls of habitual interaction that keep us separate
– separate from the world, from each other, and from ourselves."

RELATIONAL SKILLS FOR INTERDEPENDENT LEADERSHIP

Everywhere see signs of increasing collective awareness - a movement from ego to eco, from
'it's all about me' to 'we'. We see partnering among foundations, corporations, school systems, nonprofits, and governments worldwide - people discovering their shared values and working together to solve some of life's most challenging issues.

We facilitate custom-designed sessions to assist leaders in developing their heart-centered relational skills, the 'soft' skills that make it a real possibility to1) discover shared values and work together, and 2) engage the full complement of collective talents and resources necessary to create positive economic, social, and environmental impact.

The Enneagram, mindfulness, emotional intelligence, and communication are core topics creating a foundation from which to1) listen across multiple levels and sectors, and 2) develop and act from both intellectual heft and emotional wisdom.

"Leaders all over the planet are beginning to understand the benefits of purposefully learning to
be more attentive and focused, non-reactive, and clear."

- Saki Santorelli, Ed.D., Executive Director, Center for Mindfulness

University of Massachusetts Medical School
