We strongly believe that authenticity is the most important
criteria for learning in life and work. The term "authenticity"
is becoming almost commonplace in literature about leadership
and management development. To us, the term "authenticity"
means wholehearted participation. An authentic person is someone
who shows up completely and is participating as honestly as possible
in the here-and-now. This authenticity is the bottom line
requirement for any form of learning in life and work.
We work from a certain set of beliefs about professional and
organization development -- these beliefs address many of what
we consider to be major problems in development today.
"Too often, consultants and leaders assume that approaches
in development are truly powerful only if the approaches seem
novel, complex and conveyed by the latest guru. Too often, they
assume that the more expensive the approaches, then the more
powerful the approaches must be -- this is the fallacy of 'executive-level
pricing'.
"Instead, natural and real development comes from natural
and real practices in life. True development comes from this
'simplicity on the other side of complexity'. Authenticity Consulting
always keep focus on this simplicity which is accessible to us
all."
"If we leaders and practitioners are to help accomplish
what we envision for the world, then we'd better focus a lot
more on the real 20% that generates 80% of the results -- and
we'd better focus on making that 20% a lot more accessible to
a lot more people. Authenticity Consulting brings that 20% to
anyone."
"We practitioners assert that our leaders and learners
really must do more to think out-of-the-box. Yet we practitioners
use primarily the same limited approaches in our consultations,
such as delivery of written plans. Too often, after these plans
are delivered to the client, they sit, collecting dust on clients'
shelves. Authenticiy Consulting puts as much priority on helping
clients to implement plans as it does on helping clients to write
the plans themselves."
"Perhaps, rather than trying to improve development by
creating yet more slogans and models, we should leverage more
learning by ensuring leaders and learners a) have mastered the
20% that generates 80% of results, b) are helping each other
to really learn from each other, c) and are helping each other
to be more accountable to actually apply new information and
materials from consultation plans. Authenticity Consulting focuses
on these three goals."
