Is "business-as-usual" widening the gap between important partners and stakeholders?
Does everyone's fear of what they might lose, keep everyone from 'winning'...?
Do you want to create a different experience for yourself and others?
Are you committed to elevating collective dreams, results, and outcomes?
If you think you've already "tried everything," we promise to show you powerful pathways not yet taken.
Vital Shifts exists to support pioneering leaders with big visions for the future. We understand that making big change comes with tremendous complexity and uncertainty. We know this comes with special imperatives to strengthen trust and innovation to meet the systemic challenges of our time.
We help you access the uncommon courage to build the elusive trust, empathy, and support required to align you and those you're counting on to move your vision forward. We specifically help you walk new pathways which ensure that you are not held "prisoner of your past."
Infinite possibilities open up for us all when we work with, not against, our biology as human beings.
We know from neuroscience that our fears and survival instincts operate at an exponentially faster rate than any rational brain process seeking logic, reason, or trust. It take only 200 milliseconds for our amygdala to cause us to react -- beneath our "conscious radar" -- and, anywhere from 3-, 5-, or 7-seconds for our rational minds to register what just happened. Science also shows that only about 5% of our brain activity is conscious, while the remaining 95% is unconscious.
We take into account the true power of our unconscious minds when it comes to changing human behavior. We specialize in supporting altogether new operating assumptions in collective engagements around "problem solving," in order to position you for collective success with less fear, resistance, conflict, and stress.
"No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it."
~ Albert Einstein

OUR GUIDING PRINCIPLES
At the Individual-Change Level We Believe:
We will continue to experience resistance and conflict as long as we fail to see our judgments of others as mirrors of our own rejection and avoidance of similar parts within ourselves.
✺ Our own wholeness begins with restoring self-integrity.
✺ Self-integrity arises from restoring well-being.
✺ Well-being is born of love and self-love.
At the Systems-Change Level We Believe:
We will continue to create fragmented systems, vulnerable to failure and collapse, as long as we accept living fragmented lives.
✺ System robustness depends on the alignment of contributors.
✺ Alignment of contributors arises from shared vision.
✺ Shared vision is born of commitment and care for the whole.
By bridging intimacy with innovation, we help you creatively and actively transmute fears which move you from finite to infinite possibilities. By guiding you through connective practices of mutual empowerment, we help you bring love and safety to risk-taking. We guide you through the integration of individual-level change into systems-level change, so you can restore the balance and integrity needed in yourself and others to sustain a new culture of innovation.
