About Us: Overview

Our core values and philosophy are grounded in the belief that all human and organizational systems possess "entelechy", an innate potential present in all organisms; to grow and actualize, to realize their dreams, and to strive for wellness. However, in that pursuit of actualization, the systems also encounter opposing forces that serve as resistance to growth. We celebrate resistance as an important hallmark in the process of discovery and self awareness. Every individual, group and organization must make rational choices that are determinable and conscious versus those that are irrational and unconscious (out of awareness). By focusing on both these dimensions--the overt and covert--our training programs provide a more holistic view of the organization.

We serve the needs of HR/OD Consultants, team leaders, academics, and others interested in working with and understanding the dynamics of groups and organizations. In addition, we offer train-the-trainer programs for psychotherapists, social workers, and psychoanalysts who are interested in transitioning from their existing therapy practices to organizational consulting.
