How We Work

What makes The WOW! Movement™ and our offer unique

Our Approach

Customized: First, we meet you where you are. We don't believe in a one-size-fits-all solution. Our approach is to thoroughly understand your situation, your challenges, and your desired objectives in order to provide you with customized learning and coaching experiences that are on-target and provide optimal and sustainable results over time. Although we do focus on "the fundamentals" of excellence, the manner in which we present these fundamentals, including follow-up reinforcements varies based on your unique situation and objectives.

An Ontological and Integral Approach to Learning and Coaching: Our approach is unique and highly effective in that it is grounded in Ontological Learning and Integral Theory and Practice. An Ontological approach to human development and change directly addresses a person's "way of being" in the workplace and world. Specifically, it includes the domains of language, emotions/moods, and the body in the learning and coaching process. By working with all three domains, a deeper and real transformation is made possible not just in performance, but in how the person defines and interprets their self, others, their work, and the world around them. The results are transformational and greatly enhances one's leadership, health, and ability to serve others. Integral Theory and Practice brings a broader perspective to The WOW! Movement, allowing it to be more effective and sustainable in the long run.

An Open and Dynamic Working Relationship: We pride ourselves on developing exceptional working relationships with our clients, based on strong communication and a dynamic, collaborative spirit. We recognize that relationships and projects will change and evolve overtime, making continuous, high-quality communication essential. Our commitment is to work with you closely throughout the entire engagement in order to maintain alignment and to make any necessary course corrections.

A Creative, Life-Centric Orientation: All of our programs and services are designed from a creative, life-centric orientation, meaning that they are designed to expand the health, effectiveness and sustainability of the individual participant, organization, and world. By engaging in our learning and coaching programs, participants will receive the support, learning, and insights necessary to take new actions leading to new results that create a higher quality of well-being, purpose, and achievement for themselves, the organization, and those they serve.

Value from Simplicity: All of our programs are designed to bring simplicity to what are often complex issues. We achieve this by providing a framework that focuses on mastering the fundamentals of excellence in leadership, performance, and customer service. By mastering the fundamentals, leaders and employees will achieve significant shifts that generate greater results in multiple areas within a shorter length of time. With simplicity, complexity will take on new meaning and value.

Honoring and Celebrating: Our approach honors the dignity and freedom of every individual and is designed to foster alignment, accountability, and constructive action within teams and the organization as a whole. We believe celebrating to be a vital part of all learning and performance endeavors and results in expanded energy for achieving worthy goals.

What Makes The WOW! Movement™ and Our Offer Unique

It's a "Movement" - Not a "program": The WOW! Movement™ is not meant to be just a "program," but a "movement" within the leadership team and organization. It challenges participants to play a bigger game from the beginning: the creation of "WOW!" personally, as a team, and as a company. This results in the MOVEMENT of the company towards its highest aspirations and possibilities. This bigger-game challenge is built into the title of the movement. The ultimate outcome is a transformation in your company's culture that allows for excellence to naturally emerge.

Structural Shifts for Real, Sustainable Outcomes (Not Quick-Fix): A vast majority of programs focus merely on techniques, tips, and skill development resulting in incremental changes within a current way of doing things. The WOW! Movement™ begins by distinguishing between a "Workplace of Woe" and a "Workplace of WOW!" This provides the fundamental structural shift that makes a woe-to-WOW! transformation in your organization's culture possible. This is truly a unique aspect of our service.

Measurable Results: We are also unique in that we can provide a way to measure progress of your woe-to-WOW! transformations. In other words, as you implement The WOW! Movement™ in your personal leadership, in your leadership teams, and/or within your organization, we can establish ways to measure the results we are achieving! This allows you to see the return on your investment. Our approach goes well beyond "smile-sheet" evaluations. Many programs simply do not offer ways of measuring impact.

Unique Framework and Language: The WOW! Movement™ has its own unique "language" and learning models. It offers a framework on which to anchor learning, allowing for the creation of a "common language" within The WOW! Movement initiatives. This equates to better results faster and allows for the process to be used again and again (dramatically increasing ROI).

Affordable: INTERMAX, LLC maintains low operating overhead making longer-term initiatives more financially viable for our clients.
