About Genuine Contact™

The Genuine Contact™ Program is a fully developed, experience-based program for sustainable development of leaders and organizations. This proven approach has been shown to be highly functional in a multitude of diverse situations and organizations. Some organizations see themselves as Genuine Contact Organizations because they use the approach in their daily work. Each of these organizations have implemented the Genuine Contact™ approach in a way that is unique to them and aligned with their specific context and situation. Simplicity and flexibility is a hallmark of the Genuine Contact™ Program.

The Genuine Contact™ Program could be regarded as an operating system, within which you can integrate compatible programs and tools that harmonize with core values, processes and expected outcomes. While the program consists of very practical and easy-to-use tools and methods, it works with the deeper organizational and personal levels of values and assumptions. This means that the culture of leadership and the life nurturing climate that an organization desires to implement can be both accomplished and sustained simply by using the program’s meeting methods and tools as catalysts for this change.

Ongoing use of the Genuine Contact™ Program will lead to improved health and balance and an increase in leadership capacity throughout the whole organization. This leads to better outcomes and a greater agility to navigate change. The Genuine Contact™ program is an invaluable resource for inspiring next generation leadership, creating and maintaining a culture to support it and providing tools necessary for leaders to walk their talk.

The Genuine Contact™ Program consists of two parts, taught through a series of workshops. The Foundational workshops support the development of  a values foundation and a life nurturing climate for leaders and organizations. The Skillbuilding workshops teach the tools and meeting methods used to create and maintain a culture of leadership through genuine relationships and meetings.
