The Aurum Approach - ​Embodied, Connected and Real

At Aurum we draw upon years of experience and training in multiple human development modalities to create truly transformative experiences in every training and coaching engagement. We know that true leadership arises from a place of being, not a place of doing. Our approach is developmental, not technical - we train people to stand in their authenticity and power, to know themselves, their strengths and their weaknesses. This approach guides people to embody the dynamic, alive presence that already exists within each of us.

Our Style

Experiential - Learning concepts may inspire, but does not bring about lasting change. A visceral experience of new possibilities is the catalyst for growth; practice and repetition of new skills is what makes them stick. 

Relational - Whatever we want to achieve in our life and work, happens through relationships. At Aurum we practice and teach creating genuine, heartfelt connections.

Fun - People learn best when they are engaged, having fun and having a visceral experience of the principles they are learning.

Direct - We don’t tiptoe or sugarcoat. We tell it how it is, with deep compassion and sincerity. Telling the truth is liberating and gets the system unstuck, generating momentum for growth and forward movement

Embodied - The thoughts and patterns in our mind are rooted in our heart and body. Somatic methods based on cutting-edge neuroscience are a shortcut that bypass the noise and get results. ​

Engaged - We are not distant observers, plying you with complicated reports. We are involved partners – we care about you and your people and work tirelessly to identify the best solutions for your challenges. ​

​We are committed to programs that are dynamic, interactive and alive

People and Organizations Thrive in Resilient Cultures

Great organizations are built on a solid foundation of dynamic leadership, strong relationships, and a vision that inspires the people inside the organization to invest. 

A company with a resilient culture not only survives, but thrives through ups and downs, market fluctuations and cycles of growth. ​

Resilient company culture carries the workforce through stress, upheaval, and change, because people are engaged and invested in creating the future together. 

​​We work with companies and leaders who are committed to creating  organizations where people are valued, innovation is welcomed and relationships thrive.
