Skillful Means Divisions

We serve organizations in the creation of positive structural change as well as specific focus on short term, outcome oriented projects. Skillful Means values and cultivates the spirit of the individual and the soul of the company, allowing unique organizational cultures to emerge.

Consulting

Bringing clarity and a positive path of action. Creating dialogues with leadership and staff that allows for a definition of the center and focus of the organization. From this clarity right action can arise naturally and bring real abundance to all elements of the organization.
  • Assessing individual, teams, and organizational goals and needs, as well as specific position functions.
  • Designing structures to create positive change, while addressing specific areas of need and response in individuals, teams, and the organization as a whole.
  • Designing strategic and implementation plans that recognize the unique organizational culture and its specific short and long term goals.
  • Setting up ongoing on-the-job supervision to implement projects according to the Skillful Means methods.

Coaching

Helping high-level executive's to see that existing patterns may be creating unnecessary obstacles. Our primary method, "Questioning Mind" awakens inherent knowledge that leads to success. Self-defeating patterns change and spontaneity replaces reactivity. With this new freedom previously hidden possibilies open and aspirations can be realized without fear of failure. All areas of an executive's life will be revitalized with a new sense of confidence. Work can include a sense of play and lightness with each day becoming a new adventure.

Training Programs

The program theory is easily applied and combined with experiential activities that allow integrated learning that can be immediately expressed in work.We present case studies for individual and group reflection.

Individuals are invited to develop a Personal or Team Master Project around a specific problem or topic at their workplace.

Skillful Means Programs are available in a variety of settings:

On-site: learn while working and experience immediate results and satisfaction.

Online: learn according to your own pace and specific needs.
