Our Philosophy
Dharma Consulting works with leaders who want to:
- renew themselves
- create high performance/high fulfillment workplaces
Many leaders have become sidetracked by focusing too much on managing peoples'
resistance to change. But people don't resist change. They resist change for which they
see no purpose, no link to their own values and goals.
The real challenge facing leaders is not how to manage resistance but how to manage
engagement.
When people are dis-engaged, they will not invest themselves in their work. They will
not give that extra energy -- the discretionary effort that can only be given, never
commanded. When people are engaged -- their commitment creates organizational
breakthroughs.
Sustainable success comes from the marriage of high performance and high fulfillment.
High performance is measured in terms of business results, market share, profitability.
High fulfillment is measured in terms of meaning, learning, and community.
Temporary bursts of high performance can be achieved through a variety of carrot and stick techniques. But sustained success is
always based on a foundation of learning, mastery and community.
Our work gives leaders a structured way of fostering renewal by completing four journeys:
- Journey of Self:
Where people connect to their core values and passion at work.
- Journey of Contribution:
Where people make their achievements an expression of values and legacy.
- Journey of Craft:
Where people develop their gifts to a level of artistry.
- Journey of Community:
Where people support each other in living their values, creating their
legacy, and developing their gifts.
Dharma Consulting program results

- Less burnout and more engagement
- Less victim-thinking and more self-responsibility
- Greater success in attracting and keeping top
people
- Skills and action to foster individual and organizational
renewal
For Leaders
High Performance, High Fulfillment Leadership
An Advanced Leadership Development Program
The demands on leaders are increasing in complexity and difficulty. The old ways of thinking and understanding are not
up to the challenges. In the words of Edward Deming, "There can be no organizational transformation without personal
transformation."
The five module program includes:
- Interactive exercises to experience new skills, perceptions, and strategies in action.
- A personal development focus to reinforce that the leaders’ own transformation is key to sustainable organizational
change.
- Real world application to link all principles and practices to
generating change and improvements on the front lines.
- Peer coaching to foster a collaborative learning environment focused on real world examples and issues.
- A 360º feedback assessment that identifies leaders’ specific strengths and areas for development.
- E-coaching that provides individually tailored follow-up to
re-focus and reinforce.

Beyond Teambuilding
Creating a Culture of High Performance & High Fulfillment
Teambuilding is often used as a “band-aid” approach to any number of issues. Sometimes they are very powerful
one-time experiences. These programs can be effective for a short duration of time, but results are difficult to sustain.
Beyond Teambuilding will take the work that has been done in the past and bring it up to new level. Your team will
undergo a sustainable transformation as they progress through each module.
Team members will:
- Discover their core values and gifts and create a shared vision for higher performance and business results.
- Learn a flexible set of breakthrough communication skills to continually enhance the team’s performance.
- Undergo a structured “challenge” exercise to examine the way the team operates and behaves in a system.
- Utilize 360º feedback to explore patterns of individual and team behaviors.
- Enhance team self-management by using powerful video footage of the events leading up to the Challenger disaster.
- Develop peer-coaching groups to maintain and sustain the momentum of team development.
