Creating learning environments where people actually learn. “The significant problems we face cannot be solved at the same level of thinking we were at when we created them.
-Albert Einstein
We help our clients create a resilient, psychologically healthy environment at home and at work where people consistently perform at higher levels regardless of circumstances and with less stress. Just as importantly, they enjoy life more right now.
We work with both individuals and with companies. We realize, however, leaders are the weather-makers, so the majority of our work begins at the top, with the business owner, the executive or the leadership team. A healthy company is impossible without healthy, resilient leaders setting the tone.
Our insight based learning model is fundamentally unique in the marketplace. Most of the training offered these days is based on motivational or informational learning models. The goal of these traditional approaches is to fire people up, or to give them information, tools, techniques and strategies for dealing with challenges.
Virtually all of these programs are based on the assumption that the way to change a business culture is by modifying human thinking, feeling or behavior from the outside in.
We specialize in creating learning environments where people actually learn from the inside out, from their own insight. Our work is based on the realization that every human being has an infinite capacity for courage, common sense and fresh ideas. Once our clients learn to access their own Clear Mind Thinking, there is no stopping them.
We are one of only a hand full of firms worldwide offering this unique approach to leadership and organizational thinking.
Clear Mind Leadership’s founder, Rolf Evenson, recently worked with BAE Systems, an international company with 120,000 employees. Their internal research revealed that the single most effective leverage point for effecting cost of quality is organizational state of mind.
Put simply, they found that when organizational state of mind changed from “frantic and pressured” to “calm and insightful”, Cost of Quality fell by 25-35%. They found that other key factors improved as well, such as quality of communication, decision-making and morale.
The following chart shows the effect of a leader's state of mind on employee productivity. It demonstrates why business results rise and fall on the tide of individual and organizational state of mind. Leadership State of Mind and Employee Productivity State of Mind of Leader | Productivity of Employees | The leader’s advanced understanding of psychological functioning makes it easy to stay in an inspired, confident, insightful state of mind. | Deeper levels of confidence and ease bring out the genius in individuals and the synergy in teams. | The leader has the power to stay in a clear, inspiring state of mind but finds it an effort to maintain in the face of pressure and adversity. | Employees find it easy to think clearly and insightfully due to a sense of confidence and respect. Relationships flourish in this setting. | The leader knows his state of mind is frequently agitated and/or frenetic but thinks his state of mind is at the mercy of the current crisis and pressure. | Employee’s ability to plan, be accountable, think clearly, work creatively and collaborate in teams are compromised by the agitated, frenetic states of mind of their leader and co-workers. | The leader is oblivious to his/her chronically agitated and/or frenetic state of mind and tends to turn every circumstance into crisis and pressure. | Employees hide from this leader’s harsh manner through blame and commitment-avoidance. The blame and lack of accountability strains all relationships. |
