Sustainable Success:
Cultivate a Thriving, Conscious Organization
Through our Sustainable Leadership Programming, we guide your staff towards holistic personal and collective development to achieve optimal performance. While sustainability has become a catchphrase for our time, it has developed out of a real necessity; we cannot continue to grow in the traditional pattern of throwing out the old in favor of the new. Instead, we must find renewal from the inside out.
Peter Senge, author of The Fifth Discipline, explains, "To practice a discipline is to be a lifelong, learner. You 'never arrive'; you spend your life mastering disciplinesÉ. Thus, a corporation cannot be 'excellent' in the sense of having arrived at a permanent excellence; it is always in the state of practicing the discipline of learning, of becoming ever better or worse." Our Sustainable Success Programming keeps your organization on a trajectory of learning and growth.
We offer a myriad of programming that can be custom fit to meet the needs of your organization, ranging from 1-hour workshops to two-day retreats. These include:
Through an introduction to mindfulness techniques, participants become focused, effective and conscious in their everyday work and interactions. Recently, western scientific and organizational research has begun to examine the power of daily mindfulness practice to develop a focused, productive, and happy workforce. Through regular practice of these tools, individuals become skilful at monitoring their reactions to daily experiences, and enhance their capability to make conscious choices in a split second. Our goal is to help your organization build a culture of consciousness, whereby individuals support your mission on every level - from the work they produce, to their interactions with others, and their very way of being.
Renewal Retreats
This one or two-day program is meant for any organization or team looking to enhance their ability to work together gracefully under daily pressures. Taking time out of the office together, the group(s) is transported to a natural setting to reconnect with each other and their purpose for working together, as well as gain tools to help them become more coherent and effective in the future.
In structuring your retreat, we work together to select the modules that will provide the greatest impact for your group. You can choose from a myriad of components including workshops, ropes courses and mindfulness practice. To view a more complete listing, download our Sustainable Success Information Packet .
Sustainable Leadership Programs
Sustainable Leadership can be defined as leadership that "matters, spreads and lasts. It is a shared responsibility... that promotes cross-fertilization of good ideas and successful practices in communities of shared learning and development" (Hargraces and Fink). This style of leadership requires breadth of organizational awareness, and attentiveness to human, financial, and environmental costs. When executed properly, it contributes to exceptional organizational health.
In our Sustainable Leadership retreats and workshops, we guide your staff through activities to define and activate Sustainable Leadership for themselves - leadership that allows all individuals to engage with dedication and integrity, stimulating synergy, dialogue and growth. In some cases, we work with small groups in breakout sessions, as well as facilitating your group as a whole. You can select workshops just for those in leadership positions, or workshops that bring your entire staff together to explore new models of Sustainable Leadership.

Corporate Yoga Programs
Our corporate yoga programs - including the one-time "de-Stress at Your Desk" workshop - offer an experience that integrates the mind and body. They allow people to relax and release stress, while fostering vitality, stamina, and increased energy. Through yoga practice, people gain genuine insight into themselves and they take positive control of their lives and work. This experience directly impacts the workplace, both in terms of an individual's productivity and a company's interpersonal dynamics.
Research into the quantifiable impact of yoga in the workplace is in progress. Current anecdotal evidence, however, suggests that offering yoga in the workplace represents a significant investment with visible gains.
