DESCRIPTION
The current economic challenge will be the greatest period of innovation in history! Crisis brings clarity and openness to a high degree of change. Organizations that seize this opportunity to find a deeper reservoir of excellence, innovation and creativity will emerge stronger as a result of this challenge. "Innovate or perish" has become the battle cry of the boardroom.

The bar has been raised and mediocrity will no longer be acceptable. There will be three certain outcomes for every organization in the coming months:

• Thrive
• Survive
• Die

The organizations that will thrive are the ones that seize the opportunity NOW to change their focus, seeking solutions that lie beyond "the way things have always been done". We can show you how. Reframing crisis as an opportunity is our expertise. No one else does what we do. Our co-founder is the author of the best-selling book, The Secret of Successful Failing. This is our niche. Watch this short video to get a better idea:

Your organization can thrive during a crisis because crisis reduces the resistance to both personal and organizational change. And change is what your company and your people must do in order to thrive in today's difficult marketplace. Crisis, challenge and setback provide the opportunity to dig deeper to discover new resources and solutions that were not readily apparent before. You already have everything you need. We'll help you find it.

TESTIMONIAL

Critical Pathfinders provided incredible value for my time spent at the Leveraging the Power of Crisis program. The benefits of the program that will help me produce greater results from this point forward include:

•Controlling my state of mind, recognizing when I am not in an optimal state and making the adjustment to get back a powerful state with a few easy steps.

•Just breathe. Who knew it was that easy. The techniques she taught for breathing were new to me and in practicing them I have already noticed a difference!

•Your “state of being” is not only something in your mind; it is highly physiological as well! What I learned has helped to shine a new light on the incredible connection that our nervous system plays on our results.

I highly recommend this program to business groups. I can only imagine the kind of power and change that will be possible as more people learn, understand and practice this insightful information!

Leveraging the Power of Crisis is a live workshop designed to reframe your state of mind (and that of your management team, leaders and employees) from one of doom and gloom to one of possibility, optimism and productivity. It has been proven that you cannot maintain focus on the negative while in a peak performance state. We will guide your team through a powerful three-step process:

• First, reframe the current situation as a huge opportunity
• Then, show you how to access a peak performance state and maintain it under any circumstance
• Finally, engage your team in tackling your biggest challenge, unleashing your newfound creativity and productivity as a result of your peak state

What if today's crisis became the greatest thing that ever happened to you, your team and your organization? Leveraging the Power of Crisis means knowing how to turn a negative situation into a powerful force for success. What if your current adversity actually became your competitive advantage?

Our program is not about inspiration; it is an action-packed program with practical exercises, tips and strategies for using the inherent lessons available in crisis. And more importantly, it enables you to powerfully transform your view of any situation so that you are left empowered and ready to take effective action.

The session was brilliant. I deepened my understanding of the phrase “As within, so without”. I got exciting new tools on how to manage the within - the state of being. I had a number of A-Ha moments. A wonderful experience.
