Integritus Prime

At Alchemus Prime, we practice leadership using our own framework – Living and Leading Authentically – stay tuned to learn more about this with our book launch next week. The mantra for how we work is integration. What are we integrating?

1. We integrate across divisive structures. We facilitate solutions that bridge silos and hierarchies, while fostering play and innovation. We bring curiosity, creativity, and a holistic approach to all our work, creating mechanisms for teams to work in ways that minimize negative effects such as arrogance and fear of failure, and optimize for innovation while creating more common ground and trust.
2. We integrate bodies of knowledge. 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 (physical, behavioral, and social), authentic leadership, human innovation, and transformative milestones with individuals, teams, projects, entities, and communities that want to achieve environmental, social, and economic sustainability.
3. We integrate across sectors. We develop science-based win-win solutions that benefit teams, community, government and non-governmental organizations, economies, local ecological relationships, social systems, and global ecosystems. We work on some of the world’s most pressing challenges, including climate change, leadership, change management, and wellness.
4. We integrate diversity into everything we do. Our approach is widely diverse: we embrace different disciplines and schools of thought; cultural and spiritual perspectives, race; creed; religion; ethnicity; socio-economics; geography; and much more. We find resilience in diversity, and value each person as they are so we may be inspired by them and learn from them as we hope to inspire them and catalyze their growth.

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, and you have a perfect storm, which is currently being exacerbated by COVID-19. 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 all the people, all living beings, and the planet.

All our services form a system that contains mutually reinforcing parts: behavioral sciences; stress reduction and meditation techniques; wellness, including lifestyle medicine approaches; design thinking for generatively creating novel solutions; and biomimicry, which is learning from and mimicking 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.
