Philosophy

Vision Statement

Our vision is for people’s work and home life to be purposeful and productive, creative and fulfilling. Our goal is not just to improve the quality of life for individuals and organizations, but for communities and nations, as we are always just a thought away from thriving rather than surviving.

What We Do

We provide trainings and coaching for individuals and organizations. We work from a simple but profound understanding of the psychological principles that govern human experience, allowing people to function at their best. Our programs are available in a variety of formats, from individuals and small teams to groups of several hundred.

What Makes our Work Distinct

We work with a principle-based rather than theoretically-based consulting approach, meaning that we go to the foundation of what makes people tick. When people understand what drives their mental life, and see the connection between their mental life and business results, it puts them in the driver’s seat. Once people understand how to bring out the best in themselves and others it affects leadership and employee functioning on every level, including company culture, teamwork and the capacity to produce great results.

The Three Principles

Mind is the source of energy, the energy that takes physical form, and the energy  that powers up the forms our thinking takes.

Consciousness is what makes us aware of what we think at any particular moment.  It gives us a sensory experience of our thinking.

Thought is a function of the brain that never stops, and takes on a wide variety of forms.  Sometimes we become so calm it seems that we’re not thinking, but all perception comes through thought, all feeling, and all experience.  Thought has the capacity to access personal thoughts stored in memory, and to receive a more impersonal, universal level of thought.

When our thoughts settle down and take on this more receptive function, people become calm and have experiences of well being.  It’s also the state of mind people experience when they’re ‘in the zone’, access high performance states of mind and creative thinking.  The premise that all people are innately healthy, and have access to their own inner wisdom, is demonstrated by this fact and by these principles.

All three principles are working together in every moment to give people their experience of life.

The Principles we work with were discovered by Sydney Banks in the early 1970’s. These Principles are described by Banks in his book, The Missing Link:

“All three elements – Mind, Consciousness and Thought – are the lifeline to our very existence. It is through these three elements that we have the power to realize the very existence of life.”
