Black and Green Swans

Planning for the unexpected

In this course, we expand on areas which may affect you or your organization but that may be unseen or unforeseen. By asking questions about what we know and questioning the unknown, you can better plan for and respond to uncertainty complex environments. This course uses the swan as a metaphor for risk and opportunity.

Connecting Organizational and Self Leadership

How to develop a whole picture

Dr. Launeanu explains, without emotional “e”-valuation, rational decisions are either biased or hard to sustain. This course unpacks this topic, showing how integration for organizational and individual leadership intersects on a foundational human level. Through a preliminary investigation of alignment and how we derive our thinking, a path to rational "e"-valuation emerges - for those who choose to follow it and continue their analysis of Self.

Course Testimonials

“I think it makes a lot of sense. The dissonance we experience comes from a psychological mismatch between what we are doing and how people feel. So, tapping into the feeling makes a lot of sense. And doing it in the group and business context makes even more sense. When we help leaders align with a greater purpose, the business is aligned and you gain a lot of resilience.”

CEO of WHYO

Lenny Kessler

“On the subject of dissonance, we currently don’t have the right people asking the right questions. People may not know what questions to even ask. There is a significant gap between our commitments and actions, and there is a significant gap between senior executives and people on the ground doing the operational work. That is why there is a need for critical thinking and embedding ESG throughout the entirety of organizations. A core component of that is having people within organizations develop the courage and purposeful leadership to ask those questions and flag any issues as they emerge.”

Director of Keyah Consulting

Dr. Sophie Taysom

“Generally, people are trying to do what they think is right. Sometimes for the wrong reasons. In some instances, rather than having decisions grounded in one's own ethics and principles of the business, they may be engaging in green washing to attract more customers and investors. This could be done knowingly, or ignorantly and as a result, when it comes to sustainability, they're getting it wrong. This is why AMNIe strives to equip executives to power positive change via knowledge of holistic sustainability integration and purposeful leadership.”
