The Institute for unLearningCo-Founder
Sep. 201428007 Knowles Road, Evergreen, CO 80439We differ from traditional consultancies because we facilitate integrating teams’ emotions, decisions, and actions. We don’t train - training is irrelevant to the hearts and minds of a culture. We guide awareness to your own answers so you’re driving learning and change. And because there’s no resistance to your own best answers, we get results quickly. We are successfully shifting leaders from status quo models in decision-making and growth, to team-designed solutions that alter an organization’s future. That’s agile culture at work. Imagine if our culture were valuing businesses based on their humanity quotient—how they value their people (Continuous Renewal Economics®). In our work, that’s a world worth getting up for, and it starts with unlearning what’s got you stuck.
