“In a changing world, the most valuable skill is learning.”
Learning Methodologies
Organizations and their executives will need to not merely prepare for change, they must learn to embrace and gain from it. In a changing world, the most valuable skills are learning. However, learning must be an on going process. This is more real for organizational learning. The underlying theme of all our programs is that real and authentic learning means taking effective action. Acquiring information, concepts and becoming more capable in diagnosis and analysis is not sufficient. Since learning is a process and not an event, real learning takes place over time with a community of learners, and involves the mind, body and spirit. It also requires patience, reflection, practice, perseverance and most importantly competent, effecting coaching. The best context of learning and developing new skills, confidence and competence is to work on real issues and challenges facing the individual, team and the organization.
Program Methodology
Our long-term programs are designed and conducted by weaving together innovative principles and methodologies of learning, modern management and eastern meditative disciplines. Our programs combine intellectual study, real life challenges, peer meetings, small group coaching, and interviews with more matured and experienced adults and breakthrough tasks in an on-going cycle throughout the year. Learning is at the heart of any process of developing human potential. However, we need to differentiate information, knowledge and wisdom. Real knowing is embodied learning. Embodiment requires learning, practice, action in real-life situations, and reflection in an on-going cycle. To know is to become transformed-in our thinking, attitudes, perceptions, habits and actions. Our fundamental belief is that human beings possess the capacity and the potential to transform their way of being.
Fundamental Principles of our Facilitating/ Consulting Programs
All our programs are based on the following fundamental principles:
· Language brings forth or shapes our reality/ world. We (and world around us) exist in language.
· Action is correlated with how/ what we perceive the world (that is, through linguistic distinctions.)
· An organization is a network of conversations (speaking, listening; verbal, written, reading; alone or with others). Managing this network of conversations is essential to effective management and leadership. It is through this network of conversations that knowledge is created and shared.
· An organization is a living system (vs. a mechanistic system) which is co-constructed by human beings based on their vision, knowledge, and commitment. Human beings and the quality of their relationships are the source of organizational success or failure.
· Identify and build on the root cause of success vs. focusing on the root cause of problems. Organizations are positive, affirmative systems that are shaped by the images held by its members (Appreciative Inquiry approaches).
· For authentic learning, what is required is a combination of knowing, doing and being (the intellect, the body/skills, and the heart/being). Our way of being is more important than doing or “knowledge.”
· The source of effective action is commitment.
· As managers and organization what is more effective is to manage the present from the future. We can and must shape and influence our destiny and our karma.
· As human beings each one of us possesses “sugatagarbha,” the potential to be enlightened, awake and sane. And also to be potential managers. Most of us, however, are ignorant about our real potential and inherent nature. Negative habitual patterns, kleshas, and our ego or self-centeredness obscures it.
· Our role is to coach, guide and help the clients unleash their potential and capacity to maximize their performance, to raise the level of awareness, responsibility and commitment required to achieve their desired goals.
Program Format
1. Workshops
The duration of the workshops shall depend upon the need assessments of the clients. Each workshop will introduce the essential concepts underpinning the program. There are exercises to practice relevant tools and techniques, processes to learn and support each other, and methods to improve one’s capabilities in fundamental skills.
2. Coaching
In between workshops are coaching sessions for smaller groups. Each session focuses on helping the individual participant design, implement, evaluate and improve the quality and successes of the specific tasks/challenges they have committed to.
3. Action Research
Participants identify and meet adults they admire for their leadership competencies. The aim is to inquire into factors that led to their successful lives/careers and learn from them. This is an Action Research on Leadership using Appreciative Inquiry (AI).
4. Breakthrough Tasks
By the second workshop, each participant selects what breakthroughs they want to generate in their lives (domains if life). We anticipate that participants will make significant progress in all of the domains of life: body/health, work/career, motions/moods, love/marriage, family/relationships, money/investments, and Community/Nepal.
5. peer Meetings
The purpose of periodical meeting in small groups of 5-6 participants (peer group) is to support and learn from each other. We recommend that participants meet as peers once a month or as often as required.
6. Reports
Throughout the year, participants submit papers periodically based on their research and breakthrough tasks. These reports can be written in English or Nepali. These Reports are mandatory and constitute a key requirement for the certificate of completion.
