Empowering People Inspiring Consciousness

Imagine attending a company meeting where business was not discussed. Sales goals, department reporting, and employee reviews were not on the agenda. Imagine spending three days with your boss where your only task was to focus on your self-awareness, consciousness, and your dreams. In this three days, you meet amazing celebrity speakers, participate in soul-changing activities, and connect with your peers in meaningful ways. It’s called E.P.I.C. and it’s a way to “hit the pause button on life.” For Dwayne, its one of his most important investments into his team and the company’s culture.

Empowering People Through Creativity

In the midst of planning a 2006 annual meeting with my team, I decided to throw out all the rules and created a “business meeting” where no business was to be discussed. No pie charts, no sales goals, no marketing plans or business projections. And in their place: discussions of self-awareness, urges to follow your dreams, and lessons about life.

In an industry that requires our staff to be patient, empathetic and mindful everyday, we want to invest in creative and meaningful ways to energize and enrich the lives of our employees and leadership.

“A big part of our job is ‘giving’ every day, but this is an opportunity to reflect on the larger purpose of our lives and the power we have when we come together.  Participants report it is the most emotionally draining yet rewarding program they have ever been a part of, with the camaraderie built within teams a recipe for improved team work and staff retention which ultimately benefits residents in our communities.”
