Starting a consultancy
“It all begins with an idea.”
When you use a website service like Squarespace they provide you with idiot-proof page templates. Each template carries repeated text such as “It all begins with an idea,” that they assume you will delete and replace with your own text. In the case of what I am developing here for democratic manners and teaching thinking, this given sentence is entirely true. I’ve kept their phrase.
An idea is born. I believe this consultancy offers a unique and new service. I know it does because it is based on my own thinking which is original philosophy. Let me explain.
First we should note however a key thought: democratic manners as actionable is a result of thinking. It is an evolved and cutting edge product of thinking to be interested in how democratic manners changes the world. So, on the one hand we have a way, a manners, that offers new insights into and success for organizational behaviour, especially institutional settings. On the other hand, we have the skill set to get to this place of success. Democratic manners comes about because of thinking skills. Also, democratic manners uses thinking skills to work. We need thinking to arrive at a place where we behave differently. So far, so obvious, perhaps? It isn’t obvious at all, because the world doesn’t yet work this way.
The last paragraph sets up a mystery. What on earth is this “new” way of working in the world? Democracy is not new. In fact, it is ancient. Thinking is not new. It is our human heritage. However, if we put human emotional manners together with an openness to think and talk with the other, we get safety. That safety is a product of thinking through democracy, as a way of being at the micro, personal, emotional level.
Interesting? It should be if you want to avoid human emotional fall-outs wherever and whenever you have humans together, working. These fallouts are not inevitable costs. These costs have HUGE impacts on well-being, organizational budgets, enjoyment of work, efficiency and success of work, as well as reputation. None of this needs to be as serious and disturbing as it is currently allowed to be. It is allowed to be as disturbing as it is because of a certain way humans currently interact with each other that lacks democratic manners and thinking skills for safety. That is where my consultancy can help you and your organisation to thrive.
What I offer is a transformation of how your people interact. Instead of fighting, falling out, bad-mouthing each other, hiding opinions, using negative silence to conspire, people talk to each other. Thus, they respect each other. They laugh together. An openness and lightness in your environment emerges which is aligned with the truth of good human nature and human nature when it is good. In other words, with my input you can bring out the best in your people. All of them. You can turn your workforce or organizational participants into people who thrive, care, work hard, contribute, show loyalty and initivative because they want to do so and they enjoy this and each other. Sounds good?
