Innovative Practices develop key capacities for leadership effectiveness…
We believe that effective leadership requires both the backbone and the heart to:

• Continue to grow through self-awareness and reflection
• Be authentic in communicating with others
• Be compassionate as well to encourage excellent performance
• Develop working partnerships across a variety of boundaries
• Create meaningful connections by really attending to others and being fully present
• Be open to new and creative ideas from different sources

We incorporate art, music and skilled facilitation of dance/movement activities when we assess, in partnership with our clients, that they would help develop these leadership capabilities.

How do art and movement help leaders develop capacity and shape possibility?

• Through art and movement, we can learn to be fully present without distraction.
• Through art, movement and music, we express something unique about ourselves.
• Dance, music, and art provide nourishment and laughter, and bring beauty into the world, affirming our connection as humans.
• Dance, music and art open windows into diverse perspectives and are showcases for innovative ideas.
• Right brain modalities such as art and movement help individuals and groups to change important behavioral patterns and fine-tune their verbal and non-verbal communication skills.
• Right brain modalitites teach us to lead as well as to follow.
• Art, movement and music encourage discovery and exploration through which possibilities take shape.
