TRANSFORM ORGANIZATIONS

Helping Businesses Cultivate a
Positive & Productive Workplace®



EVOLVE

A manufacturing company with heart is a natural expression of health and growth. We’ve come a long way from the dark and squalid factories of the 19th century. Machine mind is still common today, but is giving way to new habits of being as leaders understand more of themselves and what’s possible. Sustainable leadership in the 21st century has to embrace deep human understanding. As barriers are breaking down between us and them, leadership needs greater awareness of development cycles of doing and being, insights and gestation leading to new levels of functionality.

Heart Culture balances left brain and right brain functions, masculine and feminine creative energies, intelligence quotient and emotional quotient, and head and heart. Being aware of and working toward balanced polarities are the living realty of yin and yang….interdependent opposites folded together into a holistic unity.
