Bold Conversations with Nature
"The world turns softly not to spill its lakes and rivers. The water is held in its arms and the sky is held in the water. What is water that pours silver, and can hold the sky?
~ Hilda Conkling, Poems for a Little Girl, 1920

The Flow of Leadership™
This program is designed to re-establish connections to yourself, to Nature and to each other. This program taps the valuable learning that is accessible through experience. Somatics, emotions and meaning-making combine to create profound shifts in your world-view. As a result, you become more effective, more confident and as a team, more cohesive as you work toward common goals, taking turns leading and build trust in yourself and in each other.
Being on the water removes the cognitive roadblocks to learning. Having fun and being in a natural environment removes the impediments of more formalized learning and your focus shifts to enjoying the natural environment and to a relaxed and playful approach to learning. You may not recognize the depth of your learning until the event is processed and debriefed with the coach, helping you connect your on the water experience to new more successful ways of being at work and in life.

- High potential executives who can participate as a learning cohort and continue as an ongoing learning cohort in their organizations
- Talent management and human resource professionals who are looking for alternatives or a supplement to traditional learning and intellect based workshops
Do you really need another traditional workshop?
This is a powerful experience that invokes learning through the senses and mind, body, heart and spirit to teach inspired presence and group synergy. You need executives and leaders who are able to adapt on the fly and effectively manage themselves and the complexities of their positions. Most organizations primarily utilize cognitive processes at work and to learn. You need alternative learning environments that allow leaders to safely examine their feelings, thinking and behaviors in order to develop the self-awareness to develop their resiliency and agility.
The Flow of Leadership™ allows participants to get to what really matters in their relationships with one another. Having fun and being in a natural environment removes the cognitive roadblocks to learning and the impediments of more formalized learning. Your focus shifts to enjoying the natural environment and to a relaxed and playful approach to learning and to your team dynamics. You may not recognize the depth of your learning until the event is processed and debriefed with the coach, helping you connect your experience to new more successful ways of being at work and in life.
