WHO. IS IT FOR

Leaders & changemakers who want to:
 

  • Be a force for good & shift toxic work environments;
     

  • Practice key attributes to be a more conscious, and human leader.
     

  • Unlearn autopilot patterns driven by your ego (prove, please, hide, defend) 
     

  • Connect with like-minded people who face & overcome similar challenges at work.

WHY IT MATTERS.

The majority (64% Gallup 2020; 70% Instant Print study 2021.) of companies have toxic cultures. The pandemic has amplified this growing trend. Inside those companies there is no enthusiasm, an intense fear of failure, gossip, focus on egocentric wins, constant dysfunction & drama, and a high turnover (the good people leave first).

Toxic Cultures are the #1 driver for the 'Great Resignation', as well as for founders to leave their own company.

Culture is always a reflection of its leadership, past or present. In toxic cultures people act from a place of fear, and disconnection (ego). In thriving people act from love, and interdependence (purpose).

Work should be a place where we connect, develop, thrive, and create positive ripple effects. Not a place where we feed stress, burnouts, bore-outs, and other harmful ripples. 

 

We believe most people are good. They can just be stuck sometimes in an ego mode (old habits, stories & beliefs). Simply put, the road to toxic cultures (hell) is paved with good intentions. And it can be turned around!
 

"

CHANGE STARTS WITH YOU.

When you are part of the problem, you are part of the solution.
 

The On Purpose Journey invites leaders, founders & changemakers who want to make a difference. Who want to be better leaders & build better organisations. More conscious, energised, and connected. 

 

This is for you if you want to:

  • be able to consciously navigate triggering situations

  • observe & understand your own ego patterns & how it is in your way.

  • intentionally choose in the moment to break vicious cycles of toxicity.

  • lead by example in daily choices, reactions & conversations. 

  • create positive ripple effects inside & around you. 
     

It takes one person to break the cycle of toxicity in that moment. 

You can be that person

Together we can create a wave of leaders,

bold, wise, kind, true.

HOW IT WORKS.

28.DAYS JOURNEY to unlearn habits, beliefs & stories driven by your ego (fear) and create space to be your bold, wise, kind, authentic self


An integrated approach with leadership teachings from:  

  • Ancient wisdom: Buddhism, Taoism, Ayurveda.

  • Modern Science: Psychology, Behavioural Sciences, Systemic Thinking. 

  • Nature: Nature's laws, rhythms, and Indigenous Peoples.

They are structured into insightful stories & practical exercises:

 1 theme, 1 story, 1 exercise per day for 28.DAYS. (30 min max.)

The journey is structured upon our proven Conscious Change Loop:

  • 7.DAYS of observing how you breathe, think, feel, act, and talk. 

  • 7.DAYS of understanding why you are wired the way you are.

  • 7.DAYS of choosing to rewrite your stories, habits & beliefs. 

  • 7.DAYS of creating positive ripple effects inside & around you.

 

The program is aligned with the moon cycle, 28.DAYS in total. It starts & ends on the New Moon, with setting your intention. Symbolising new beginnings. We let go of the old during the Full Moon. Making space for the new. The program invites you to align with this natural rhythm.

ERIC.

SENIOR EXECUTIVE & GLOBAL HEAD.

I was lucky enough to stumble across the On. Purpose Studio almost by accident. I am very happy I did: Carlijn and Elena have developed a unique approach and they personally ensure all the participants in her program get true value out of it through their dedication, enthusiasm, deep insights and true personal commitment to the journeys of the participants. Highly recommended for everyone!

JOCHEM.

SENIOR MANAGMENT CONSULTANT.

It has made me more aware of my energy and to listen to it. To think more about my dreams for the long term. To value what I have in the present and how to be more intentional with my actions and energy (ripple effects). It has also shown me the power of standing still and not rushing all the time.

IT'S YOUR CHOICE

To continue patterns of rushing, proving, pleasing, hiding, ignoring, and resisting. Losing energy.

OR

to get out of the autopilot mode, and invest in yourself to become aware & shift toxic patterns. Starting with yourself. Ripple over to those around you in the process. Making meaningful impact daily. 

 

It takes one person to start a movement, to shift toxic behaviours at work.

That person can be you.

On purpose.

5 TEAM WORKSHOPS. 

 facilitated by Carlijn Nelissen for 2-30 people p/session (2-4 hrs) 

Anchor 3 - Team Workshops

#1 CLARIFY PURPOSE


 

The core question of any business, why are we here? 

What does our landscape look like right now? How is the emerging future unfolding? 

 

How can we anticipate this emerging future? How do we serve society and nature? What is our added value? Why does it matter? 

As well as how does this company serve us individually and as a team? 

What dream do you have in your heart,  in terms of what do you want to learn, earn, impact & how do you want to work?

This workshop helps to clarify a practical purpose, that gives guidance to define priorities, goals, and values on how to get there. And to remove or adjust the parts that don't add value, but actually just noise. 

To come back to the core, and work on what matters.

On purpose.

Interested in designing a customized On Purpose Journey for your team?
 

Plan a free 1-1 call (15min) with founder & facilitator Carlijn to discuss it in person. 

FAQ's.

“I am so busy, maybe I won’t have time to do this.”

To be honest, the busier you are, the more valuable this program will be to you. Nevertheless, we know you have many responsibilities, that’s why we set up the program super simple & practical way, so you only need to invest 20 minutes per day, that will benefit you that day directly.

“I am worried I will lose motivation?”
Sticking with new habits is tough. It takes 21 days to start a new habit. That’s why you do this program on your own but within a group. Plus we send you daily reminders via Whatsapp, and there is a weekly live session as well as a short weekly reflection (just 2 questions) to push you to stay on top.

“Who has joined the program so far, is it for me?”

If you want to design your life, on purpose this is for you. Feel you are stuck in loops of thoughts, habits & beliefs holding you back? Want to become positive ripple effects for yourself, others & nature? To be part of the next generation of changemakers. Then this is for you. 

 

Our clients are not ‘boxed’ by age or title. They range from 24-72 years old & from entrepreneur to executive, to retiree, as well as from Amsterdam to Cape Town, to India. Why? 


Because the dreams, challenges & questions we touch upon are universal. Fears, limiting beliefs & emotional reactions that are in our way, is human nature. As well as our urge to make a difference, to make the world around us a bit better. Realizing we are all so similar & sharing that, is the added value of our Tribe.

“It’s only 28 days, how much impact can it have?”

It is short, yet intense & transformational by its setup. Because of the Conscious Change Method a lot shifts in how you feel & how you see the world. We have the testimonials proving it. Because we don’t want you to feel rushed, you will be able to gain access to all the daily themes, exercises, tools & meditations until 3 months after your program ended.
 

“I don’t like ‘woohoo’ spiritual stuff, or am unfamiliar with meditation, is it for me?”
YES YES YES! We feel exactly the same! We are open to the magical, but we keep it practical, and back it up with science. Plus, Elena’s meditations easily guide you like no other!

“Is it worth the money? What if I get disappointed?”

We want you to get the most of the program. Through hands-on experience, we understand what drives people & how to give nudges & inspiration to stick with it. 

 

Our program has received amazing testimonials and on average our participants rate the program an 8.9 out of 10. Plus the measurable impact it has made after 3 months like breaking toxic habits & addictions or making that bold next move. 


Therefore we feel confident to give you a 100% refund guarantee, in case you are disappointed with the program.
