Elevating Safety for the World’s Riskiest Work!

Welcome.

What if the answer to the problem of human factors in managing safety is to become more human? What if we learned to lean into the aspects of being human that are laying dormant or require greater balance within ourselves, our organizations, companies, and society?

What if walking the razors edge of risk required that we use ALL of our powers from what we call the left brain (logic, systems, mechanization) and the right brain (creativity, nurturing, and caring).

At Archetypal, our tools promote the idea of Mindset Awareness for Risk Decision Making. We have strategies that will help you thrive and stay alive by fostering awareness balancing all aspects of being human for optimal results.

Human Hazard Resolution

Making Ourselves Visible to Ourselves

Those who work in High Potential Consequence situations and environments have long needed language for making our actions visible to ourselves. What Archetypal offers is a language and set of tools that you likely have been seeking that will help you and your team recognize, both limiting and over-extended mindsets and instantly how to balance them.

Our work is grounded in the best knowledge we have about becoming the best individual and team we can be in order to elevate our decisions. Carl Jung, Robert Kegan, Viktor Frankl, Brené Brown, Joseph Campbell and many others, ground our work. What we have done is turn that knowledge into practical tools that are easy to use in HPC environments to elevate safety. Our work is also rooted in experience which we define as lived events that have been metabolized into useful tools.

Archetypal’s Tools and Strategies Elevate Safety by:

o   Fostering acceptance of self, others, events, and situations. Grounding teams in the current reality.

o   Mentoring an expanded understanding of courage. The courage to observe, and correct.

o   Nurturing deep connection with self, others and the environment. Developing a cohesive team that can say anything that is needed.

o   Cultivating an authenticity of the self. Learning aspects of the self that have great utility for taking right action.

o   Coaching the embodiment of grace. Balancing out the hubris that is required in some situations with humility.

o   Navigating the path to truth. Learning to share what is needed when it is needed and how it is needed.

o   Remembering the magic of intuition. Cultivating the ability to listen to the wisdom voice inside.

o   Finding our way to peace. Peace is finding right balance between order and chaos.

Deep inside you is a calling to this the most compelling adventure of all. Answer the call.

Human Journey Card Deck
Sale Price: CA$32.50 Original Price: CA$62.50

The Human Journey Card deck is a stand-alone tool and a critical part of deeper explorations we offer at Archetypal called Right Brained Safety. Most situations we find ourselves have potential for undesired consequence. The Card Deck helps us thrive and stay alive by fostering awareness of our limiting behaviours and promoting the kind of expansive behaviours that make life worth living.

Humans, who work and play in all varieties of High Potential Consequence situations (including our relationships) are exposed to the same challenge. Being out of balance. In our western culture, we tend to respond to challenges in a left brained way. The opportunity we have is to recognize all of the skill sets we can use to manage potentially consequential situations. This is where the Right Brain comes in and the cards help us access this creative process.

In the Card Deck. There are eight coloured title cards that present our initial guide to the Right Brained process of: Acceptance, Courage (Heart based responses), Connection, Self-Awareness, Grace, Truth, Intuition and Peace. Operating in this space is our goal. Of course, the big awareness is that all of these desirable responses to challenges have a shadow side; Denial, Faint-Heartedness, Isolation, Insignificance, Hubris, Deception, Intellectualization, and Chaos. Recognizing our shadow is where the pithy work comes in.

Each title card has a number of concepts that provide a deeper resolution for the concept. These cards have the potential of helping us deepen our understanding of ourselves within the context of the situation.
