Why 12 Bear Secrets?
When it comes to coming through crisis, humans can learn a lot from bears:
- we grow and adapt our mindset and toolset to the challenges we face;
- we're high-impact; transforming the 'territory' we're in;
- we generate side-effects from our efforts, which help or harm others;
- we value economy of effort;
- we have clear rules of engagement (even if we forget that sometimes);
- we hate losing!
- we must be able to 'feed': to fuel ourselves for today, tomorrow and what lies ahead;
- we have huge ability to nurture and fuel others;
- we often carry scars;
- we're survivors!
We leverage many of these realities through the 12bearsecrets TM leadership system
