How We Work

The mantra for how we work is integration. We facilitate solutions that bridge disciplines, silos, and hierarchies, while fostering play and innovation. We bring curiosity, creativity, and a holistic approach to all our work. All our services form a system that contains mutually reinforcing parts: behavior change,  stress reduction and dietary improvement, generatively designing new solutions, and learning from nature. For instance, when we coach our clients for wellness and leadership, this may include career manifestation strategies and healthy recipes as well as mindfulness techniques tailored for the client’s needs. Our recipes embody biomimicry and energy efficiency principles, supporting the reduction of climate change and reversal of lifestyle diseases. More recently, our work on trauma has connected childhood abuse and social conditioning to the lack of career success, and to muted responses to wellness and climate change. 

We develop science-based win-win solutions that benefit economies, local ecological relationships, social systems, and global ecosystems. We work on some of the world’s most pressing challenges, including climate change and human wellness. The Alchemus Prime Diamond Model has four pillars: behavioral science, design thinking, biomimicry, and meditation. The integration of these four bodies of knowledge and methodologies offers a set of proven tools for attaining optimal wellness, authentic leadership, human innovation, and transformative milestones with individuals, teams, projects, entities, and communities that want to achieve environmental, social, and economic sustainability.

Climate change demands rapid human responses that challenge everyday norms and ingrained behaviors surrounding how we travel, what we eat, and how we otherwise use energy.  Simultaneously, due to these same behaviors, we face lifestyle diseases such as obesity, Type 2 diabetes, and heart disease in epidemic proportions. To produce effective solutions for these interrelated challenges at the pace needed, we work at leverage points to amplify positive impacts. Our retreats, workshops, consulting and coaching work focuses on solving challenges in ways that do not create unintended and adverse consequences, but rather benefit all parties involved, with the ultimate goal of uplifting and sustaining all living systems.

Without applying the correct integration of science-based tools, we regress exponentially as we work every day to achieve our goals. Add to that the personal, family, professional and societal pressures and judgments, and we have disillusionment, depression, and static thought patterns and behaviors that resist change in a world that is constantly changing. In order to embrace change as a positive opportunity, what we do is lift individuals and teams to their highest potential, leveraging their assets, achievements, networks, and talents to create a win-win outcome for our clients, all living beings and the planet.

Our work offers positive impacts to our clients, the economy, society, and natural ecosystems, providing win-win solutions to all life.
