About Creating...

Creating... Team


Our Philosophy

Creating...'s core philosophy is most beautifully expressed by the motto of the Outward Bound Czech School Lipnice: "All the problems and conflicts of the world are reflected in each of us and the world is a reflection of ourselves. Therefore, we must seek the key to their solutions from within."

 

This captures our belief that leaders must "look within" -- focus on self-reflection -- as the first step in developing themselves, their teams, their communities and their organizations.

Our Mission

Our mission is "Realizing Unlimited Potential in People & Organizations."

We strive to accomplish this through our integrated leadership training, executive coaching, offsite facilitation and residential intensive group work & facilitation training programs. One of our strengths is customizing our programs for both small and large organizations.


Subscribe to our Into The Groan / Grown Zone Newsletter to learn from stories and insights gained in how we are groaning and growing through our own challenging personal & professional life experiences. Or, write in a story of your own!




"We'd like to share with you readings we have found to be enlightening, educational and practical. We invite you to join our reading circle."


We operate in a variety of settings, from the corporate training room to the wilderness. We have more than 15 years experience in Japan working with a multi-cultural client base. One of Creating's core beliefs is that in order to provide top quality service to our clients, we must each be continually challenging, developing and "looking within" to maximize our own potential. In all we do, we aim to WALK OUR TALK! Please contact us for more information (please find the contact info at the bottom of each page.)
