A Singular Experience

One-on-one intuitive guidance initiates self-discovery.
How do you define identity? What does humanity mean to you?

The ART of Nuanced Thinking

Becoming a visionary leader must begin at the source: You.
You will have an opportunity to:

• Reassess belief systems and misconceptions.
• Broaden awareness on identity.
• Develop new insights on being human.
• Transform assumptions which impact workplace relationships.
• Practice nuanced thinking.

Tailored Specifically To You

• Unique works of art, film, and media as dialogue prompts.
• The process of inquiry to foster balanced perspectives.
• Experiential exercises to redefine attitudes.
• Mindfulness practices to broaden awareness.

Art expertise or knowledge is not required.
Buddhist concepts may be used but religion/dogma are not part of my process.

The art surprised me. It helped me view myself with more clarity. I realized that although workplace relationships are transactional, true leadership is about listening and connecting with people. I now make choices that are collaborative and productive.
