PASSIONATE PEOPLE
EMPLOYEES WITH FIRE IN THE BELLY
Purpose, meaning and belonging enable us to create vision: to see forward into our future and to shape our imagination the way we want it.
Knowing who we want to be, what we want to do, imagining whom to become, kindles the fire within us.

DELIGHT
WHO CAN WE HELP OUR CUSTOMERS BECOME?
Making an impact is fulfilling. Authentic connection changes the other we connect to like art. Connecting enables the other human being to become what we see. We help them grow by helping them see their potential.

SHARED VISION
COMPELLING MOMENTUM TO SHAPE OUR FUTURE
All the icons and images from all the stories we shared can be brought together in a big picture of our shared vision.
It creates a thread through all our stories and anchors our joint future, the purpose of our team, in what we know about and cherish in one another.

PERSONAL VISION
DESIGN YOUR FUTURE INTENTIONALLY
Who do I want to be?
What do I want my future to be like?
How do I want to feel?
Who will I be connected to?
Where will I belong?

GROWTH
EMERGING AND MATURING ROLES AND BEHAVIOURS
Continuous impact and the feedback from delighted clients shift our context so that it becomes nurturing for growth.
An environment where people feel they belong enables everyone to grow themselves, the teams, and there products. A fertile ground for emerging options, allowing serendipity to thrive.

IDENTITY
WHO AM I, AND IF SO, HOW MANY? (DAVID PRECHT)
Humans imagine possible futures through stories. We shape the one we choose through the actions we take, which we base on our beliefs. Roles emerge complicity with the containers we play them in. All of this grows the complexity of our identities.

CULTURE
COLLECTIVE IDENTITY: WHO ARE WE?
Culture is collective identity. It is what makes us human - complicit dance of intelligences with their extelligence ... It is created and shared through stories. Stories flow through authentic connections.

STORY TELLING
STORIES TELL US WHERE WE BELONG
Stories differentiate us from all other beings. The ability to imagine co-evolved with our increasing brain capacity... We're built to create, share, and memorize stories. They act as "genes" for our far accelerated evolution as a species. Stories ARE human. Humans ARE stories.

INFLUENCE MAP
MAKE SENSE OF YOUR PAST
We become who we are through our individual and unique history. What happened to us, what we experienced, what we did... The successes and failures, how we dealt with those or not, shape our identity. We share relevant stories about our past to raise trust and create resonance in the group. This is the basis for authentic connection.

VISUALIZATION
INTROSPECTION - ARTICULATION
In a Temenos lab, we support our stories with visuals. They help us to reflect and inspect when we draw them, they enhance our story telling to form a story line, and they help the group to memorize. In addition, the group co-creates a graphic vocabulary of rich metaphors which nurtures and amplifies our tribal identity.
AUTHENTIC CONNECTION
SEE EACH OTHER AS HUMAN BEINGS
Most contexts we operate in lack authentic connections - we see and treat each other as roles, opponents, even objects, rather than human beings. This deprives us of joy, and creates pain.
Well-being, meaning, belonging, and healing, they all require authentic connections.
Temenos is an effective method to create authentic connections in a group.

CONTAINERS
ROLES WE PLAY SHAPE MULTIPLE IDENTITIES
In the course of our lives, we grow in and through different roles. Each of them belongs to a container: our self, our marriage, our families, teams, companies... We behave differently, act according to different beliefs... The containers shape multiple identities.
CLEAN SLATE
LETTING GO OF EMOTIONAL BAGGAGE
We are not commonly aware of these containers and our difference in behavior. We become intentional once we identify how we fail the containers and how they fail us. How they don't fulfill our vision and we don't fulfill the vision of the container.

FEEDBACK
ALLOW YOUR TRIBE TO GUIDE YOU
We help others understand their pace of movement through life, appreciate how they grow. We highlight the deepest for of connection we feel with the other human being. We select an archetype, a character from a well-known story, the other reminds us of.

ARCHETYPE
WHO IS THE HERO OF YOUR STORY?
We use archetypes for feedback to make it stick, to add another level to the relationship and to easier identify common patterns. The archetype makes the feedback optional, and fun.
Giving archetype feedback we frequently realize we're talking to ourselves...
