Heart and Spirit – the New Management Paradigm

Created and led by Dr. Santo D. Marabella, The Practical Prof®

Most professional consultants and speakers want to take clients forward to the next level. Not The Practical Prof®! The Practical Prof® wants to take you back — back to the basics of business success — where values-based principles guide management practice and decisions. The Practical Prof® is a teacher grounded in this philosophy:

Manage with a Heart in Ways that Feed the Spirit

Not business-y enough for you? Well, business as usual is not working. While economic recessions and business hardships have decimated our wallets, they have also devastated our spirits.

Employee disengagement — dissatisfaction, anger, boredom – costs the U.S. an estimated $450-$550 billion annually in lost productivity, employee theft and absenteeism.

Add careless communications, avoidance, poor customer service, work-life imbalances, high stress, low productivity, and workplace bullying and we have a state of corporate emergency. The energy and spirit — the soul — of our employees and volunteers is grossly eroded.

Services

A customizable training and engagement package designed to energize people working in corporations and not-for-profit organizations, Heart and Spirit features in-person training and presentations, video messages, desktop and mobile apps, monthly newspaper columns, an animated sidekick and more in fun, entertaining, interactive ways.

Topics

Heart and Spirit focuses on the real ingredients of business success. Here are some examples:

·       Honoring your word
