Five Principles Philosophy
T he Five Principles have their roots firmly in both Eastern philosophy and Western psychology, influenced by Gill's studies with Satish Kumar, the Manjushri Mahayana Buddhist Centre 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.
