AWAKENING THE GENIUS WITHIN

Mediocrity is self-inflicted; genius is self-bestowed.

--Walter Russell

Awakening the Genius Within is a two-day workshop of self-discovery and self-realization. The intention of the workshop is fourfold:

  • To discover the “master key” that unlocks people’s inner genius
  • To discover your own inner genius
  • To develop the power of authentic creative thinking
  • To start the process of living your life as a creative, contributive, and fulfilling expression of your inner genius

The experience of Awakening the Genius Within evolves and unfolds through the masterful use of Zen-like, Socratic dialogue based on original and penetrating questions concerning the nature and meaning of genius.  It culminates in the self-discovery of the essence that unlocks one’s inner genius.

In participating in the Awakening the Genius Within workshop, you understand and “innerstand” the true meaning of geniushood and realize how to self-bestow inherent genius.  Participants in the Awakening the Genius Within workshop will become able to apply their know-how in the art and science of self-bestowing genius not only for their own ongoing development but also for the development of other people including our children and youth.

THE VISION WORKSHOP

The advent of the age of globalization shifts the value and stakes of what it means to be an authentic leader from being the “number one” to being the “only one.” It does not mean so much to be better than your competitors but to be uniquely alone in your expertise so that you have essentially no competitors.

Authentic leadership requires that 1) you know who you are as a creative vision in the world; 2) you know how to effectively manifest your vision and strategies; and 3) you know how to think authentically so that you not only consistently generate innovative ideas but also render your innovative ideas obsolete by the time others start imitating them.

The Vision Workshop for Authentic Leadership Development provides innovative solutions to these critical issues with which today’s and tomorrow’s leaders grapple—the issues of authentic creative thinking, vision-creation, vision-manifestation, and authentic leadership development for self and others.
 

  • Self-knowledge (understanding and “innerstanding”) of who you are as a creative vision in the world
     
  • Practical knowledge (understanding and application) of a proprietary technology that ensures the actualization of your vision and strategies
     
  • Ability for authentic leadership that inspires others to awaken to their own vision and leadership
     
  • Inner awareness and confidence that completely eliminate “the impossible” from your consciousness and life

Below are a few samples of the programs and seminars offered through the Vision In Action Leadership Institute that are intended to cultivate long-term business growth and innovation by developing leaders capable of original and creative thinking. These programs can be offered onsite at a corporate facility as an intensive leadership training program for an organization of any size. When presented as a corporate program, workshops are tailored to the specific needs and strategic goals of the client organization.
 

1. THE META-CONSULTING LEADERSHIP SEMINAR

Business is driven by creative thinking that results in constructive action. Creative thinking is a discipline that produces innovative, organized action and leads to increased prosperity for everyone who has a stake in the outcome.

The Meta-Consulting Leadership Seminar is an intensive, six-month executive program that helps qualified entrepreneurs and business professionals develop the art and science of visionary and strategic thinking. Participants learn to identify and articulate their vision and mission, expanding their capability to think creatively. The focus is on developing the specific strategies needed to achieve objectives before taking action.

Each of the dialogue-style meetings is built around a distinctive body of knowledge that integrates advanced scientific thinking with elements of prominent Eastern and Western philosophies. Participants learn insightful approaches to effectively deal with the pressing issues of leadership, strategy, ethics and management in today’s rapidly changing business environment. The program includes in-depth monthly educational training sessions organized around an infrastructure of mutual support and empowerment with other participants. Personal coaching during the six-month program also is available.

The participants in
The Meta-Consulting Leadership Seminar will walk away with an advanced yet practical understanding of leadership and strategy that is not available anywhere else. They also will dramatically increase their power and effectiveness in taking their business or profession to a higher level of achievement. In the process, participants will come to experience greater satisfaction and fulfillment in their lives.

2. DEVELOPING YOUR ORGANIZATION VIA ETHICS

The American poet Edwin Markham said:  In vain do we build the city if we do not first build the man. The same can be said about the organization: In vain do we build the organization if we do not first build the people.

The Greek philosopher Heraclitus said: Man’s character is his destiny. The same can be said about the organization: The character of the organization is its destiny. The character of the organization is the organic totality of the people who constitute the organization.

Ethics consists of a specific set of acknowledged and accepted principles; the sustained practice of these principles builds the character of the individual and of the organization. Ethics determines the destiny of the organization.

The Developing Your Organization via Ethics program is a unique approach to business management consulting that effectively and definitively answers such critical questions as:

  • What are the set of ethical principles required for the sustained growth and prosperity of an organization?
  • How can the individual leaders in the organization escalate a set of ethical principles from theory to action and practice?
  • How can the people in the organization walk the talk?
  • How can the organization develop an ethical culture for sustained growth and prosperity?

The result of the Developing Your Organization via Ethics program is that each client organization develops a singular ethical culture of its own. This culture is based on universal principles of ethics that form the foundation for the organization’s sustained growth.

Through the
Developing Your Organization via Ethics program, each client organization becomes the author of its own manifest destiny.
