“Today more than ever people are feeling disconnected, disengaged and lonely in their work which is leading to underperformance. Companies and organizations chase the latest buzzword “culture” thinking it will fix everything. However what they fail to recognize is that you must go to a deeper level, and when you do that, you create community. Community is the soil that can lead to flourishing and create deeply fulfilling work and success. A 1500 year old document called the Rule of Benedict gives us the framework, principles and mindset for connecting faith and work and creating a connected community that leads to engagement and loyalty. This is turn leads to higher productivity, positive work environment, profitability, safety and customer satisfaction”
I serve faith connected entrepreneurs, leaders, non-profits, church’s, teams, organizations and people who:
Have a desire to connect their faith and their work
Are mission driven, striving for a higher purpose
Commited to virtuousness
Want to serve
Aim to achieve excellence
Strive to deliver profound hospitality over customer service
Are open to re-thinking how they find fullfillment in their work and how they create success
I help them create connected community by embracing a monastic mindset and the Monk Principles
Lead Like a Monk: Seven Timeless Principles For Today’s Leaders
How to overcome disengagement in people and organizations By Creating Connected Community
Based on Mike’s upcoming book, Lead Like A Monk: Seven Timeless Principles For Today’s Leaders, the MonkWork© system helps develop community, when we have an environment of community that fosters trust and cooperation and where we come together focused on a common purpose for the good of all we can then create deeply fulfilling success at work. The Benedictine tradition, modern Positive Psychology and virtue ethics are the tools that are needed to create community and we can help you implement these tools through workshops, retreats and group coaching.
“Mike has demonstrated through his many years in business and research that a leader’s sustainable success is a result of the integration of his/her desire and ability to integrate best business practices, understanding of human behavior, and the pursuit of virtue. One does not have to be around Mike for any length of time to observe that this is a way of life for him”
