Making a Difference In Your Work & Life “You can make money or you can make sense.” - Buckminster Fuller This is not to say that you will not be financially successful if your initial intention is to make sense. An exploration as to what is most important to your business, project, program and, most importantly, to your life. |
Effective, Efficient Management - At Work & At Home
“Change the environment not the person.” - Buckminster Fuller
Examining the most effective, efficient, productive ways to manage people while supporting them in every aspect of their lives - even when they don’t know that they are being supported.
Buckminster Fuller’s “56-Year-Experiment”
“There is nothing in a caterpillar that tells you it's going to be a butterfly.” - Buckminster Fuller
Fuller learned huge lessons during the 56 years he used himself as “Guinea Pig B” to determine and document the difference one individual can make. Steven leads your audience through the “best practices” Fuller (and Steven) have found to be most viable. These concepts are based on Nature and both men’s personal experiences. The focus is practical application of natural laws to create success in participants’ professional and personal lives.
Being Consciously Naïve & Successful
“Dare to be naïve!” - Buckminster Fuller
We’re often advised to be more childlike. Some Buddhists call this quality “beginner’s mind.” Fuller cultivated it, and used it to achieve even greater success. Using practical examples, Steven will guide your audience in understanding and applying this powerful way of operating into every aspect of their life and work.
Trimtab, Doing More with Less and Still Succeeding
“Call me Trimtab.” - Buckminster Fuller
Call it leverage, skillful means or Trimtab - this principle is key to succeeding in life and work as well as having the time to enjoy things such as family, friends, hobbies, etc. that nurture and support us. Fuller was so committed to Trimtab that he had the above quote engraved on his tombstone. Steven facilitates your audience in understanding and applying Trimtab to their daily lives in order to accomplish much more with less effort and stress.
Deciding What To Do (The Simple Method)
"Nature always knows what to do.” - Buckminster Fuller
We all tend to complicate things way more than is necessary. Fuller was a master at getting lots done with minimum effort and resources. Now, Steven shares Fuller’s strategies for aligning with Nature and being efficient and effective in your action.
Being Creative in All Aspects of Your Life
"Creativity is reserved for that which came before human beings.” - Buckminster Fuller
Everyone wants to be creative be it in cooking a meal or planning a multi-year project. The issue is accessing your creativity on a regular basis. Fuller was so creative he was known as the Leonardo daVinci of the 20th Century. Steven shares how he was able to do that on such a massive scale and to the benefit of so many. You don’t have to be working on a large magnitude to use these tools and techniques, but you do have to recognize the ongoing flowing creative nature of all Universe that Fuller understood and employed.
