While most people plan for retirement financially, most fail to invest any time in designing a plan for the other aspects of their life that will change as they embark upon this major life and career transition. Whether you are already retired or nearing retirement, the Life-Work Integrity™ Retirement Coaching Program provides you with the tools you need to manage the ingredients of a healthy retirement and maximize your levels of health, energy and fulfillment over the long term. Most importantly, the techniques you learn will allow you to adjust your strategies over time, optimizing quality of life regardless of the inevitable changes in health or circumstances that occur as people age. Business Systems and EfficiencyTo have the staying power to survive, grow, and ultimately become a force for good in the lives of its customers, employees, and community, a business must build systems that govern not only everything it does but everything it is. At Kyosei, we believe that there is only one kind of system that truly counts – a system that creates a Result of Note™. A Result of Note™ is “a system, behavior or habit that, once learned and committed to, never (or very rarely) needs to be re-done or revisited”. The Result of Note™ mindset is critical for leaders and entrepreneurs to manage the energy and resources of themselves and their teams and ensure the long-term ability of their business to thrive. As a lack of systems is the key reason that so many new entrepreneurial ventures fail, most leaders in established businesses have at least some awareness of the importance of systems and some ability to develop them. Part of the challenge in today’s demanding economy is that there always seems to be more to do than time or resources to do it with. This causes leaders and entrepreneurs to take short-cuts when developing their systems. Instead of taking the time to ensure that their system will stand the test of time, they embrace the first idea that seems “good enough” and rush to implement it so that they can move on to creating a “band-aid” system that will put out the next fire. The Result of Note™ mindset teaches and challenges leaders to take systems thinking to a higher level of quality and creativity that, while it may be more time consuming up front, will ultimately establish the solid foundations the business needs for healthy growth over the long-term. This coaching stream helps Clients build a solid understanding of systems thinking and how to use it to create solutions for any business frustration. It supports them to catalog all current business frustrations, identify the systems that would be required to address them permanently, identify system creation priorities, and create action plans to address those priorities. Wellness and Work-Life BalanceMany clients begin working with us because they want to increase energy, reduce stress, create more life-work balance, and generally experience a greater sense of wellbeing and vitality. Unfortunately, it is this natural and often unconscious drive for balance that prevents people from attaining the levels of success and wellbeing they desire and prevents businesses from breaking through the barriers that will shift them from surviving to thriving. Here’s why: Webster’s Dictionary defines balances as “A state of equilibrium.” Equilibrium, however, is defined as “a condition in which all acting influences are canceled by others, resulting in a stable, balanced or unchanging system.” When you are striving for balance, in essence, you are striving for things to be stable and unchanging. Here lies the problem. When people talk about wanting more balance, they do not want to stay the same. They want things to change. They want to have more of some things (such as health, happiness, money, better relationships) or less of others (such as stress, debt, illness, and overwork). To achieve this shift, unfortunately, they need to upset the balance. They need to destroy equilibrium in their lives, at least temporarily, in order to get from where they are to where they want to be. Rather than being helpful in getting what they want, the subconscious desire for balance is the mechanism that kicks in to thwart any efforts at change and bring a person right back to where they started. Balance is a great thing to strive for if you are already where you want to be, but the reality is that few people have reached their ideal state. What’s more, human nature dictates that even once you have reached your ideal, you will find a new ideal to reach for. Finally, outside forces beyond your control are always acting on you and your environment to disturb the balance. The bottom line? Your natural desire for balance and comfort is part of the problem. To thrive, you must master the ability to constantly shift the balance from where you are to where you want to be, and actually learn to enjoy this process of constant change. So if balance is part of the problem, what is the solution? Life-Work Integrity™ provides a “healthy alternative” to the constant tug of war between material success and balance that plagues so many people in our world today. It is both a better predictor of one’s ability to thrive and a smarter target to aim for. So what is Life-Work Integrity? Life-Work Integrity™Life-Work Integrity™ is defined as “a state of optimal and ongoing alignment between who you are and what you do.” This state of alignment is fostered through growing your understanding and awareness of two key elements – Passions and Needs – and cultivating your ability to meet your Needs in a way that aligns with your Passions. This ability is the foundation for achieving and sustaining energy, health, performance, excellence, vitality, prosperity and lasting fulfillment on many different levels.Life-Work Integrity is the most essential foundation for any individual to thrive in life and work.Any young person starting out in life hopes to find work that will be a vehicle to achieve success that consists of happiness, fulfillment, passion, health, contribution, and many other elements of an abundant life. Their early training teaches them that fitting in, following orders and learning to push themselves is the way to achieve success. At first it seems to work, but somewhere along the way it begins to dawn on them that their “reward” for achievement is simply increasing expectations from both themselves and others to keep doing more, being more, and having more. What’s worse, they discover that following the direction, advice and guidance others have given them for what success looks like, what goals they should consider worthy, and how to go about achieving those goals has taken them so far away from understanding who they really are and what they really want that even the success they have achieved seems meaningless. Most people are taught to succeed on others terms by becoming more of who others tell them they “should” be. Life-Work Integrity provides people with a vision of life and work that focuses their ability to create success on their own terms by becoming more of who they truly are.Life-Work Integrity is not a static state. It evolves just as your awareness of who you are does and as the opportunities to choose who you want to be and what you want to do emerge in all areas of your life and work. While this may seem to make it more difficult to achieve, it actually makes it more realistic and attainable. Life is constantly changing, so a concept of thriving that aligns with this principle of constant change and evolution is more aligned with the principles of nature. Balance cannot offer this as it is a construct designed to preserve what is, not to create what could be. Life-Work Integrity is a standard that you can use to guide your choices in each and every moment towards thriving. Balance guides choices by asking, “Will this keep me stable, secure, safe, comfortable, and/or return me to a state of equilibrium?” Life-Work Integrity guides choices by encouraging you to ask, “Who am I? Who do I want to be? What action/choice can I take/make that will be most in alignment with this?” The former blocks or slows growth, the latter requires it. Life-Work Integrity focuses you on critical elements of lasting success. Using it as your measure of success leads you to look at the degree of alignment you have between who you are and what you are doing in each moment, not the degree of stability or equilibrium you have. This might seem like a semantics, but if you talk to the most happy, successful, healthy, fulfilled and truly thriving people in the world the one thing you will find they have in common is a passion for constantly discovering more of who they are, choosing who they want to become and taking action to align their lives and work with these discoveries. Once again, using Life-Work Integrity as a goal promotes and encourages the natural healthy process of growth, whereas using balance as your goalpost discourages it. The ultimate benefit… Life-Work Integrity has one other ultimate benefit. It is the secret to sustainability. Over the last 20 years, science and the media have contributed to a widespread knowledge of how the actions of human beings are impacting our natural environment on a global scale. It has become common knowledge that every living thing has it’s own unique niche and that taking it out of that niche can upset not only the entire ecosystem from which it was taken, but also the entire ecosystem into which it is introduced. The true roots of unsustainability lies in the fact that the majority of human beings are not in their rightful niche. Achieving Life-Work Integrity is about identifying and constantly moving more into alignment with your rightful niche. Not only does this restore health and vitality in your own life, it restores health and abundance to the system as a whole. Life-Work Integrity and EntrepreneursLife-Work Integrity is an especially critical building block for entrepreneurs. Growing a business takes everything you have mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually. If you do not have a strong foundation of understanding around what energizes you and how to maximize your personal resources in all of these areas, entrepreneurship can be a recipe for burnout.For entrepreneurs, there is an additional benefit to understanding and building Life-Work Integrity – the framework you use to do this is the same framework that we use to help you understand how to build Business Integrity. Business Integrity is not just about being moral, ethical and socially/environmentally responsible. In the same way that Life-Work Integrity involves aligning who you are with what you do to create health, harmony, and prosperity, Business Integrity is about understanding the ideal strengths, values, purpose and vision of your business and ensuring that all of the systems, products, services, and structures you create are in alignment with the core of your business. In this way, you will create a business that will be able to sustain healthy growth and generate prosperity for all those it touches well into the future.
