OUR SERVICES... HOW WE WORK
Jim Rough & Associates, Inc. offers uniquely empowering services for you and your organization. Here’s how we work:
Creating group environments where synergy happens. We help you create the conditions in which group creativity and synergy emerge, so you can achieve practical breakthrough results to your most challenging issues. Through working with us, our clients experience significant progress on their largest, most difficult-to-solve issues… AND, they also learn a way of working with these kinds of issues that they can continue to use on an ongoing basis.
We offer a unique and highly effective way of helping
groups tap into the power of creativity while dealing with
difficult, struggly problems. Our leading-edge approach to
group facilitation helps people enter into a particular
kind of whole-brain thinking that we call choice-creating –
a fusion of heart and mind, where we are tapping into our
whole selves: passion, intuition, insight, and reason.
Groups who experience this process come away with a shared
understanding that results in greater commitment,
motivation, creativity, and aligned action on the part of
each participant. This is the natural result of
the richly-textured, shared understanding of the larger
whole (your organization and its context) that each
participant has helped to create, and which is deeply
informed by each participant’s unique contribution and
individual perspectives.
Our clients experience and “learn from the inside” a way of
working with resistance, divergent perspectives, conflict,
negativity, etc., that turns these kinds of challenging
situations into sources of greater energy, broader vision,
and natural enthusiasm. Imagine what it might be like,
to truly welcome divergent perspectives as a rich source of
potential energy. You and your meeting participants can
experience this shift inside yourselves.
Our approach does not
involve any kind of “team-building exercises”.
Instead,
you get to work on your own real-life issues, yet in a
breakthrough manner that guarantees out-of-the-box results.
The
simple yet highly effective structure we offer creates a
learning environment where participants can “come as they
are”, without needing any extensive training or
skill-building beforehand in order to participate
successfully. Instead, on the basis of their
own succcessful experiences, participants begin to
naturally acquire new mindsets and skills that allow for
creative breakthroughs.
Our Values and Guiding Principles
Our values and guiding principles have grown out of our
experience. From what we have seen time and again, we know
that:
- Each person and each situation has a unique and valuable gift to offer. As leaders, our job is to create environments that bring out the best in each person.
- Each one of us is hungry to contribute in meaningful ways to the larger whole, and is capable of much greater levels of change, courage and commitment than we usually realize.
- Any crisis has the potential to bring out the best in people; and, we can evoke ourstanding performance by creating a supportive context in which we can attend to the natural crises in which we are already living,
- Creativity can lead to very practical results, and has a much wider application than most people realize. It is not only possible, but highly effective, to use creative approaches for obtaining practical results.
