The Thoughts that Drive Us

---

Leaders today face interconnected, dynamic challenges that require more than simple, either-or decisions that seldom last in the long run and often create new problems. Instead of avoiding or attempting to “solve” the tension between competing ideas or forces, both-and thinking embraces and manages that tension, turning it into a source of creativity, collaboration, and growth. 

Leveraging both-and thinking as a powerful tool for navigating complexity and driving innovation underpins all the work we do, because it is not just useful – it is necessary for success. 

Demands on attention in the workplace seem to never stop. The speed of change may undermine workforce cohesion, well-being, and the ability to learn. The benefits of being present are at the core of our radically low-tech programs, which rely on basic human capacities such as dialogue, interaction, imagination, or being present. This approach elevates the return on investment for the organization and the individuals.

We design and lead customized, people-centered programs to include creative and practical activities, reflection, and hands-on engagement in small and large-group formats. In support of our unplugged philosophy, our programs are in-person. If you have other needs, we are open to discuss them with you.

Questions – when asked with genuine curiosity – serve as a powerful catalyst to unlocking new ideas, sparking creativity, and driving innovation. When leaders ask the right questions, they not only inspire their teams but also gain deeper insights into others’ perspectives. 

Asking questions and listening with interest and openness demonstrate humility, creating a culture in which everyone feels heard and valued. In short, questions encourage growth, build better connections, and drive positive change.
