In brief, figures gathered from an extensive survey by the authors of "Corporate Culture &
Performance" and displayed in the chart above tell us very clearly that
constructive cultures do
much, much better over the "long haul" than
defensive ones do.

What kind of culture do you work in or even lead?  Is it a constructive, learning-oriented one?  
That's not a question one can answer with a simple Yes or No.  Most people tell us "Yes, but .........",
and the "buts" often describe attitudes that inhibit aptly-focused learning -- the discovery and
exchange of practically relevant know-what and know-how.  Could that be your answer?  If so,
Authentix Coaches can assist you -- either as an individual, or as a leader with an organizational
mandate, mission, or vision -- to do better.  Following are the services we offer:

Leader Services.  Authentix Coaches offers customized programs to entrepreneurs and leaders of
organizations, large or small, to help grow and balance corporate prosperity and individual well-being.  
The chart above is proof that well-directed work to grow an aptly targeted and balanced corporate
culture will be tangibly rewarded.  Indeed, prudent investment in the growth of a culture capable of
balancing the "triangle" of customer, shareholder,and employee relationships may be the longest-lasting
pay-off that any company can undertake.  But culture is a subtle phenomenon.  Taken for granted
simplicities, even "common sense" can, in cultural work, be seriously misleading, so prudent leaders
provide for sensitive coaching by which "background myths" can be surfaced, "unpacked", and more
accurate insight gained.  Take advantage of our experience of the means by which corporate culture can
be grown, economically and surely, to one in which organically constructive values vitalize the largely
unconscious but prosperity-limiting automatic assumptions that blind every organization.  "Hard"
performance outcomes emanate from working purposefully through the "soft" issues of aligning
cultural, market, corporate, and individual values!  See our Leader Services pages for more.

Personalized Coaching.  Want a real-time "mirror of no-nonsense empathy" for
your thinking?  Performance issues are often a matter of identifying the beliefs
and tenets that bring unbidden anxiety and confusion into one's thoughts.   Such
derailments are subtle but they can do their damage in micro-seconds.  You can
dissolve or heal them by a combination of conversation and readings on psycho-
philosophical subjects, ideally ones of close relevance to real-time work issues.  
Gain convenient access -- in person, by phone, or by email -- to expert know-

assumptions that have been limiting success.  Launch yourself into the world
of personal achievement!  Find out more from our Coaching page
