Self Awareness & Personal Development
The Journey Within
Ten years of practice in Romania, condensed into ten micro-modules. Inspired by Marco Polo's spirit of exploration, a journey into understanding yourself, then others.
The business challenge
Why organizations ask for this.
People do not disengage from work. They disengage from work that has stopped meaning anything to them personally. The Journey Within works on the internal map that decides how someone shows up long before any competency framework does.
