cUSTOM PROGRAMS
Today’s problems arise from disconnected and extractive consciousness; they cannot be solved at the same level.
We develop leaders who are connected and whole, who can reimagine and realize a better world.
Any of our programs can be taught online or in person and customized using the mind-body instrument, FEBI, the powerful flips of Zen Leadership, and the nature-inspired cycle of Perma Leadership.
Choose the best starting point for your custom program.
perma leadership programs
Inspiring webinars, programs, and action learning in care of people, planet, and the future.
ZL-based programs
Transformative programs that flip thinking and develop whole leaders and thriving teams.
heal-based programs
Healthy, embodied, agile leadership for leaders, practitioners and teams in healthcare.
febi-based programs
Powerful 1 day or ½-day programs for energizing individuals or teams using the embodied personality tool, FEBI.
perma leadership programs
Climate events, collapsing biodiversity, war, mass shootings, pandemic loss and exhaustion, racial injustice, political unrest, food and energy insecurity:
Little wonder “permacrisis” has been added to the dictionary.
Business as usual and ordinary leadership are not up to the challenges of this time.
A new quality of leadership is needed
that starts from connectedness,
and the ethics and principles of thriving, living systems
to create thriving relationships, businesses, and organizations.
Fortunately, it’s learnable.
We offer 2.5-4-day concentrated programs (online or in-person) or serialized over 6 weeks (online only) to take leaders through the perma leadership cycle, applying it to a key matter they face individually or collectively. We also offer a 1/2-day webinar to introduce the perma leadership cycle – connect, reimagine, energize and realize -and give leaders a visceral experience of leading from their whole, connected self.

Zen Leadership-Based programs
Leaders who are bigger than the challenges they face,
Take ownership,
Co-create, rather than cope.
This bigness calls for the full power of hara, the interpersonal skills and positivity of heart, and the wisdom of connectedness, which is the head at its best.
This whole leader approach is nowhere more skillfully brought together than in our programs. Which is why 9 out of 10 leaders give us their highest rating and continue to use what they’ve learned in our programs.
Through the reframing flips of Zen Leadership, leaders discover how to shift problems to opportunities, from controlling to connecting, from driving results to attracting a future and more.
Help your leaders be bigger than the challenges facing them.

HEAL-Based programs
Your organization is dedicated to healing
In a healthcare system that often isn’t up to the task.
The stresses of intersecting crises weigh heavily on practitioners and administrators alike.
The call for action is getting louder.
How do you make a healing difference for your people, as well as the patients and community they serve?
Let a HEAL-based program resource your leaders – both practitioners and administrators – with clarity about the work to be done, and the wisdom and inexhaustible energy with which to do it.
We can design a custom program for your leaders that helps them clarify purpose, apply the best-fit energy to teams and processes, and be a healing presence in the face of suffering.
Help your people to greater well-being and being a greater force for healing.

FEBI-Based Programs
Leadership and teams are never fully success operating only from the head, without connection to emotional intelligence (heart) and the intuition of the body.
Neither are they fully successful operating only from their comfort zone, without accessing their full energetic capacity.
Which is why leaders and teams flourish with FEBI-based programs, increasing their mind-body awareness, understanding of themselves and others, and skill in applying the 4 energetic patterns in the nervous system.
We offer two 1/2-day programs (online or in person) that can be done in sequence or separately. Targeting Your Leadership Energy is the starting program for individual insight and practices. Harnessing Your Team’s energy is the subsequent program for intact teams to build collective insight and skill in using the energy patterns.
