Five Principles Philosophy
T he Five Principles have their roots in both Eastern philosophy and Western psychology, influenced by Jan Mojsa, Satish Kumar, Schumacher College and the Centre for Gestalt in Organisations.
Authenticity
– developing self-knowledge and self-expression for clarity and honesty in target setting, conversations about performance and relationships, influencing others, addressing conflict and more
Wisdom
– drawing on theory, knowledge and models as well as inner judgment and experience, selecting the most appropriate approaches for each unique individual and each unique situation
Mindfulness
– developing self-awareness in order to better understand our own impact on ourselves and others, and to be able to access a range of choices in behaviours, management style and communication
Letting Go
– learning not to be attached to assumptions which can cloud judgement, to past issues affecting current work and relationships, and to potentially constraining outcomes
Compassion
– developing understanding, acceptance and empathy for ourselves and others in order to work more effectively together, strengthening relationships and building collaborative teams
These principles are interconnected, and form a foundation for Gill's work with clients.
