The tiles are earthen. The compass is all about direction and intentionality. The canoe is our vessel to move forward. The paddles are how we act and express our vision and action.
You have a canoe, but so many things keep you from always paddling. Rapids, huge waterfalls, hunks of pesky land separating you from the next water. So you have to portage. We get it. It’s hard…and sometimes unplanned, hey! [Winslow Homer’s 1897 painting, The Portage]
Sometimes it is so hard to carry your canoe by yourself. Sometimes you need a hand to portage over a stretch you can’t paddle by yourself. We’ve got your back, with focusing your intentionality, with a Change Managementor perspective, and rich co-operative and empowering principles. [Winslow Homer’s 1897 painting, The End of the Portage]
