What Is Holistic Productivity
“Man sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health. And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present; the result being that he does not live in the present or the future; he lives as if he is never going to die, and then dies having never really lived.”
From the perspective of economy, the situation above which is so common today gives rise to many industries and jobs that arise to solve a problem them is not the core problem. Holistic productivity aims to work at the root problem: a need for healthy human empowerment.
Humans want to belong somewhere and we want to matter. We will go to great lengths to achieve success and status because we feel unworthy without them. Yet, even as we achieve our goal, we recognise it as an illusion.
By applying out Heart and Mind Integration approach and Grid structure, we help individuals, teams and organisations work and live in ways that more closely mirror their true self and needs.
