​

THE PROGRAM

​

The Culture Catalyst is a process for tapping into ones full creative potential to create breakthrough results on a personal or professional challenge or goal. This mindfulness and emotional intelligence program was developed by Dr. Michael Ray in 1979 and based on proven methods from his Creativity in Business work at Stanford and in corporations.

​

This program is designed to get your team from where they are to where you want them to be. The program will cover one topic per week for a period of 8 weeks. They will learn and apply the 8 lessons of the Stanford course by working with Culture Catalyst master trainer Rachel Golan, who will guide them in a process of developing a daily mindfulness practice to decrease stress both at home and in the workplace, use the practical tool box to unearth new creativity and passion at work, become a more confident and effective communicator, and apply the powerful practices to create a happier more fulfilled life.

 

Most of the learning in this program does not require dedicated time, but rather attention and practice to integrate new ideas into day- to-day activities. This is not something separate from their personal and professional day to day, but rather a much more powerful way to go about their day to day.
