Zen Approaches
Zen Approaches
Zen approaches are framed around practical and evidence-based frameworks for continuous improvement and plans of action. The approaches are intended to be cyclical in nature, allowing you to learn the processes and practices that you can take with you for years to come. Whether our Zen Approaches are used with an individual, a group of leaders, or for an organization, they are applied with intentional focus through a collaborative coaching model to ensure their effectiveness.
Reflect
We practice reflection as an intentional act of reviewing experiences to gain insight, learn, and grow. It helps align actions with values and fosters personal and professional growth.
Get Clear
We focus on creating clarity by simplifying complexity, defining goals, and ensuring everyone understands the vision and priorities. This requires clear communication, active listening, and aligning actions with shared objectives. It’s about fostering transparency, reducing confusion and chaos, and promoting focus for better decision-making and collaboration.
Identify core
Identifying the core involves pinpointing the essential values, strengths, and purpose that drive an organization or individual. This requires deep reflection, understanding key priorities, and focusing on what truly matters to create a strong foundation for growth and decision-making.
Set a path
Setting an action plan involves defining clear goals, breaking them into manageable steps, and establishing timelines for completion. It requires prioritizing tasks, allocating resources, and setting measurable milestones to ensure progress and accountability toward achieving desired outcomes.
Make space
Removing barriers and making space involves identifying obstacles that hinder progress and finding ways to eliminate or overcome them. This requires fostering an open environment, streamlining processes, and empowering individuals to take initiative, allowing for greater flexibility, creativity, and collaboration to thrive.
Be
To "be" involves fully embracing the present moment and stepping into your goals with confidence. It requires commitment, courage, and consistency in making decisions, taking intentional steps, and staying aligned with your purpose, while being open to learning and adapting along the way.
