Our Approach
The CU*i programme achieves sustainable transformation through the combination of online learning and social learning.
Online Learning
Our online platform is accessible at any time from any device and:
- hosts content in the form of videos, audios and scripts guiding self-reflection and dialogue
- encourages micro-learning by dissecting content into small tasks
- allows participants to study when it is most convenient for them
- increases accountability, positive competition and communication
Social Learning
Dialogue and experimentation generate insights, shift mindsets and trigger new behaviours . CU*i promotes networking between all members of the organisation through:
- weekly buddy conversations
- regular team reflections
- regular group video conferences with a CU*i coach
Four steps to transform your organisation
The CU*i programme is based on four steps that simultaneously promote individual and collective development:
1.

- self-reflection

- ability to engage in deep dialogue
2.
See the Big Picture
Gain a systemic understanding of the most important stakeholders and interfaces within and beyond your organisation .
3.
Connect Deeply

What our participants say about CU*i
There is now a sense of WE that we never had in the organisation.
Today, I courageously address conflict while being more open to listening to others.
Our team became a safe space.
The buddy conversations enabled us to have radically different dialogue from the ones that normally happen in the organisation. I now trust my team.
My good intentions turned into actions. I am much more proactive than I used to be.
We now feel responsible for each other – because we care about one another as a person.
I am much more willing to engage with colleagues that I once labelled difficult because I now understand better what drives them.
CU*i introduced me to important self-care rituals, which increased my wellbeing.
We are less afraid of looking silly or feeling vulnerable – which has resulted in more creative and interesting solutions.

‘To be conscious means to be reflective, sincere and congruent in mind and body.’
What we do and believe in
We support the creation of Conscious Tribes; self-organising and regenerative communities in the form of families, teams, companies, and ultimately nations.
We believe conscious people are capable of
- (self-)reflection: thinking about your own feelings and
behaviours and the reasons behind them, - (self-)compassion: treating yourself and others with kindness and appreciation,
- ownership: understanding yourself as a co-creator of every situation and searching proactively for solutions, to take action, and
- deep dialogue: using dialogue to tap into
collective wisdom and create sustainable solutions.
We believe the world needs more conscious individuals and collectives that can navigate a complex world while acting in a peaceful and regenerative manner.
We believe that communities, such as
