FRIDAY
STORIES, QUESTIONS AND MOTIVATIONS
Hearing short stories, real life experiences of individuals who asked themselves the right questions and built new ways of influencing those around them thus starting along the path of building meaningful organizations.
DEFINING WHAT IS IMPORTANT
You will then be able to ask, to go deeper, to better understand what lies behind those actions, to discover where the motivation was drawn from and the link between those daily behaviours and building civilization.
ESTABLISHING THE WHY FOR BUILDING NEW FRAMEWORKS
A group session that builds on the stories we just heard, grasps their essence and then starts to help us understand how we can replicate the process in our own organizations.
