Wisdom-Oriented Decision Making - Module ONE
The Wisdom-Oriented Decision Making Workshop is NOT the 'normal' training classroom setup, where executive/management acquires new skills & techniques, try to practice it at the workplace & see if it works. The Workshop's Executive Coaching is 'Just in Time' learning VS 'Just in Case'. It is meant to affect performance on a large long term sustainable scale by influencing change in Thoughts; Attitude & Behavior to single mindedly prepare Executives for a state of Empowerment.
Empowerment is the authorizing of an employee to think, behave, take action, control work & decision making in autonomous ways. Empowerment means moving forward; PRODUCTVITY.
In fact, the Prime Workshop Objective is to create the SPRINGBOARD for Corporations to reach their maximum business potential OR Self Actualization. Ultimately, they become Business LEGACIES.
It starts by The People. Those that inspire others can create a snowball effect from their learning cascading it down to the lowest level in the Organization's hierarchy.
A Corporation with READY people (Gofers), is a business READY to get the numbers, and is a business that is READY to stay; attaining sustainability via the continuity & loyalty of its people.
The Workshop Objectives:
The Workshop is an extremely deep seated program that delves in the core of both the Executive & Corporation; focusing on identifying the deficiencies & weaknesses affecting progress, productivity and harmony. Thus, it is important to note that this Workshop is ONLY tailored for CONFIDENT Corporations who are serious in staying & competing in the robust market we are currently dealing with. This is about creating both High Entry & High Imitation barriers for competition.
The practical exercises of the workshop are in fact the first building blocks toward the Executive's action plan and next steps when back in the office.
According to Abraham Maslow, the qualities displayed by self-actualized individuals are as follows:
The Workshop’s Impact on the Business:Below is Maslow's Theory Diagram of People's reach to self actualization
The model for corporate self actualization is similar & is achieved through seven main stages: The POD's Executive learning impacts at stage 4 & upwards
How it works?
The workshop is simply a set of tools. Depending on the Corporation, a tailor made workshop is designed with different combinations of the below to meet the Executive needs.
In a nutshell, these tools are targeted to initiate Pro Activity & Change as the platform for Empowering Executives. The tools are not important in definition, rather the focus is made on how they are used within the individual's inner “ master system ” enabling impactful decision making.
The Workshop Structure
The Workshop is to be held in an outskirt location, as a retreat set up for three days.
Participants will not be allowed personal meetings during the duration of the Workshop and will be required to attend all days for a 'complete' learning.
Self Awareness - MODULE TWO:
The Self Awareness Workshop is about delving in oneself into a deep journey full of discoveries of who you really are and what you are capable of. The workshop is a magical tool for Self Motivation and Peak Performance. Participants will realize their untapped potential allowing them to raise the bar for themselves which directly affects the organization they work in.
Self Awareness is the ability to generate high quality knowledge about oneself, and it’s only when you are aware you have the freedom to make real changes affecting your performance specifically and your life generally.
The Self Awareness workshop delivers an explicit message to the participants that the organization they work for really cares about them and their future with the company which grounds the value of both growth and learning.
Executives/employees have the tendency to focus on their weaknesses and how to develop them, it might work after sometime but mostly it will consume them thus reducing their self-esteem/confidence dramatically.

The workshop will enable the audience to take charge of their lives with tolerance, perseverance and sustainability.
Pro active change requires a high sense of responsibility: factually everyone is responsible for all their actions; from that stance employees grasp that they are their own most valuable asset and resource so it is mandate to become completely acquainted with oneself: this workshop helps them achieve this through a self-awareness journey kit.
Finally accepting oneself for who they are is the catalyst for this exciting journey; this is what essentially makes all this work. The workshop will cover the pro active change model by combining synergistically the attributes of self responsibility-awareness-acceptance.

The Corporate Master System - MODULE FOUR
Growth in the current robust economy we live in and the fierce competition we live by is inevitable; if corporations do not incorporate their growth strategy within all this, they will eventually diminish.
Corporations must establish a strong foundation at the first level of Corporate Consciousness (Survival) phase; represented by healthy cash and market share, to the next level of building solid relationships with both their internal and external customers to establish sustainability, and as the company grows up the 7 levels of Corporate Consciousness they will continuously require a super evaluation mindset to take the right decisions that supports that growth.
Taking the right decisions is the essence of creating healthy sustainable growth in any organization and thus leadership. And for its leading team to do so they need to be aware of their Corporate Master System!
Workshop Overview:
The Corporate Master System is the decision processing capability of any organization, and it consists of multi factors that work synergistically to produce decisions. These factors affect any decision a corporation takes at all levels; the Personal, Interpersonal and at the Organizational level and they are:
1. The Organizations’ Core beliefs: (They are the unconscious rules of what is right and what is wrong, what will work and what will not), these rules may sometime be clear and sometimes may not creating what we call literal disease meaning making rules as we move on thus leading to stagnation or wrong distorted decisions. Core organizational beliefs are giant beliefs that affect all the departments and the organization at large, and a small change in these rules based on conscious basis will create a huge difference.
2. The Organizations’ Core Values: They are what drive the organization, they give it the sense of what is important and what's not, and they are what the organization stands for. They are the key to motivating the Organization to move on and withstand tough times and challenging events.
3. The Organizations Default Thinking (Strategy): This factor dictates the tendency to approach, analyze and handle any given matter whether key business plans or day to day planning and prep.
4. The Organizations Emotional State (Mode/Momentum): All of the above affects the overall organizational culture and thus its inertia.
Workshop Objectives:
1. Create a deep awareness for organizations to know the elements that affect their decision making process thus work on reshaping these element from which they can take decisions that will dramatically affect their organizations .
2. Increase the organizational capability.

· Pledge and declare for correction key decisions
Who Should Attend?

Aligning Corporate and individual values - MODULE FIVE
Core Values are what drive both the organization and the individuals, they give it the sense of what is important and what’s not, and they are what the organization stands for. Core Values are the key to motivating the Organization to move on and withstand tough times and challenging events.
Values are sometimes applied in organizations just as a cliché; hung on walls and stuck to mugs as an image for external and internal branding on a superficial basis; hitting the corporation at its core.
On other instances, Values may be chosen carefully, yet they are idle in a fierce competition were the customer/client seems dishonored.
All the above mentioned applications on the short & long run will dramatically affect the integrity of the organization both internally and externally; an unaffordable price to pay by growing organizations, especially when the customer/client/consumer is the KING.
Thus, once Corporate Values are chosen they must be clarified, understood, communicated and aligned otherwise metaphorically it’s like having a great car with no wheels that is unable to move forward. All individuals have values and in turn organizations create their own corporate values resulting sometimes in values’ contradicting or prioritizing issues; and unless common ground is reached and a clear designed alliance is created, dichotomy of values and understanding will be the inevitable result.
Aligning Corporate/individual Values workshop creates this mutual design and understanding and turns the restraining force of employees wanting to honor their personal values into driving forces honoring both the individual and corporate values.
When our personal values are not in alignment with the corporate values this can lead to silent sabotage or passive unproductive behaviors. And we certainly will not feel engaged, energized or prepared to go the extra mile.
The benefits to the organization of achieving this alignment can be truly amazing; a cadre of employees who are actually "in sync" with the organization and are intrinsically motivated to perform their jobs and accomplish the goals of the organization. Although we can debate the true motivational value of compensation systems and other external rewards, nothing "moves" employees better than performing work activities that are linked to who they are as individuals. The more organizations encourage and support this linkage, and then direct this behavior to support organizational goals, the more successful and fun the working environment becomes. That in essence is what will continue to give organizations the competitive edge for years to come!
Workshop Objectives:
1. Grasp the essence of what values are and how they are formed, chosen and decided.
2. Clarify the corporate and individual values and their hierarchy.
3. Create awareness on what values are honored and what are not.
4. Align corporate and individual values and create a designed alliance.
Workshop Overview:
· Participants will learn the importance of having values and being aware of them.
· Participants will learn the importance of corporate values and how to honor them.
· Participants will be aware of the gap between their personal and corporate values.
· Participants will learn to coach each other to discover values in themselves and others.
