Imagine working in an environment built on trust rather than control. A space that promotes unity and embraces diversity.  Where striving for a higher purpose is the norm instead of just another ideal that inspires but does not lead to action. You don’t need to imagine such a working environment. Let us accompany you in make this a reality!
The work environment in organisations can be placed on a continuum. At one end where many organisations fall, they are characterised by disunity and unhealthy conflict, and an unhappy workforce that is resistant to change. Proceeding along the continuum away from this extreme, organisations are characterised by less disunity and conflict. 

However, very few organisations lie at the other extreme where the work environment is characterised by unity and cooperation, where people continuously pursue collective learning and take actions and initiatives that expand their collective capacity. 

These organisations have succeeded in transforming themselves into a community. But how can an organisation that lies elsewhere on the continuum move towards becoming a community?
the essential challenge is to transform the isolation and self-interest within our communities into connectedness and caring for the whole.

changing reality: victims or architects?
A community is greater than the sum of its members. It is characterised by trust, cooperation and reciprocity. It is driven by a common will and a common purpose benefiting both the organisation and the society at large. It provides a safe environment for individuals to grow and manifest their potential. It is a place where people learn and innovate together with an outcome that exceeds all expectations. In a community, people serve the common good and operate as ‘one’ instead of primarily serving their own self-interests. 

Many people feel they are victims of the system in which they operate and that they are incapable of changing it. It is not hard to unlock the belief that we are actually the architects of our future and to begin shaping a different reality leading to the creation of a much more vibrant and creative future, ignited by the volition of all members of the organisation.

action-based learning

Transforming into a community is a profound and challenging process requiring specific qualities, attitudes, skills and abilities to create new structures and processes and build new capacities to sustain community life.

Clearly, transforming an organisation into a community, cannot be done by outsiders; it has to be done from within the company. Each co-worker is a potential community builder whose capacities can gradually be developed to set in motion a process of change and to assist others to grow. Our unique soul-driven leadership programme has been created and developed for that purpose: to raise up a growing number of capable people to become agents of change within a company. The more staff members participate, the more effective the transformation process can become.

soul-driven leadership

The soul-driven leadership (SDL) programme is a capacity-building programme that contains courses connected to the different stages of transformation: from creating a new mind, to creating a movement, to creating new models, to creating meaningful organisations.
creating a new mind
This transformation is a step-by-step process. It all begins with the creation of a new mindset, unlocking the belief that we can be the architects of our own future and releasing untapped individual and collective energies. Slowly but surely, these energies are channelled into actions and the learning accumulates. 
creating new models
The third stage in the process of transformation is characterised by creating new conceptual and organisational models and structures. Through these new models and structures the company as a whole will transform into a community. This community safeguards the process of the unfolding visions, and it will elevate the company, its co-workers, its customers, and society at large to unimaginable heights. Unity, cooperation, trust, learning and action become common practice
creating a movement
With the new mindset, individuals will be willing to connect to the organisation with their hearts and souls. This connection breathes new life into the organisation, giving birth to the soul-driven leadership that guides all actions and learning. A movement is born and the reality of the organisation is changed from within. A strong culture of collaboration and unity emerges, and people learn to accompany one another.
creating meaning
In this final stage, the new community becomes a learning community. Reinventing the organisation is not a process triggered by external forces, but becomes an intrinsic process driven from within the organisation. Employees have become community architects and act accordingly.
