SOPPHIA means wisdom in Greek, and the acronym represents our seven
foundational principles, based on competencies that help organizations and
individuals to achieve success
• Self: skills related to self-awareness and self-management. One of
the major opportunities and challenges in organizations is for leaders and team
members to continue to grow in self-awareness and self-management. The
organization can only continue to develop when members do.
•
Others: skills for understanding others and managing relationships
with people and nature. Relationships constitute another major area of
opportunity and challenge for organizations.
• Purpose: skills related to finding and achieving your most
important goals, your passion and calling. Both organizations and individuals
need a viable and sustainable strategic direction based on core values
• Present: the ability to be effectively present. While knowing one’s history and envisioning the
future are very important, it is also essential to engage in the present in an
intentional and meaningful way in order to create a rewarding future.
•
Health: skill related to becoming and remaining healthy in body,
mind and spirit. To remain vital, organizations and individuals need to promote
behaviors that sustain health.
•
Innovation : the ability to use creativity to produce social value.
Innovation is part of the human process of learning and growth. Organizations
can implement practices that promote innovation.
•
Assurance: The ability to endure and persevere in
the face of major challenges requires that individuals and organizations
have the assurance of clear and humane values.
