PHILOSOPHY

The basic concept behind our activities is that we human beings have a great undiscovered potential. This potential is to be developed to get success in life, and to enable us to establish the life we desire.

In WolfWay we are deeply inspired by the “warrior/victim” concept from the American Indian philosophy of life. At the individual level as well as in organizations, leaders and employees alike often live the prey role. This role is often impacted by external phenomena. Other impacts include factors such as lack of energy, chatter, grumbling, envy, and heavy emphasis on material matters. Just take a look at your own results in life. Are you happy? Do you have reserves of energy? Hope to be rescued by windfalls, or got problems of some sort in your life? What does the latest employee satisfaction survey say about your company’s leadership?

With our forceful, unique programmes, we can support the development of the “warrior” in individuals and in organisations, to enable you to meet the challenges of the 21st century in a more holistic way.

The objective of our training programmes is to expose the great hidden potential that we are unaware of, but which may help our wildest dreams come true. More specifically, our training may translate into concepts such as personal development, managerial training, team building, coaching, communication, accountability, creativity, co-operation, confidence, listening, dissimilarity, win/win, agile thinking, motivation and goal achievement.

The teaching of Wolf Way is unique and extremely efficient. Drawn from the danish special forces, the sports world, laced with simple yet effective leadership strategies and basic principles from nature, these elements will impact on the total spectrum of the human “broadband”. You will be challenged both mentally and emotionally, bodily and spiritually. The teaching is based on a varied application of the following three principles,

The functional principle:

Training and exercises taking their starting-point in reality or, as a minimum, very close to reality.

The holistic principle:

Related to the lawfulness of the concept of perception, i.e. that people perceive in different ways. When we pick up something with our senses, signals are transmitted to the brain where they are processed into a mental experience. One more aspect of this principle is that people perceive in totalities (images), creating them in their minds unless they are not immediately available. This translates into a need for the individual participant to experience the totality of the activities he/she takes part in. 

The inductive principle:

Experience is transformed into rules, for example when experience from the programme is transformed into working principles (SOP – Standard Operating Procedures).

Learning is defined as lasting changes in behaviour caused by personal experience. We are convinced that participants need to achieve this experience in,

-    an environment as close as possible to reality,
-    situations that are as meaningful as possible
-    situations with the most activating and motivating effect possible.

To get as close to the above as possible, we have adopted a method called “learning lab” which is about leaning by experiencing. We work with all senses to create strong images, thus ensuring the participants get a long-term effect of both recognition and learning points.

Furthermore, we use the concept of “learning loops”. A learning loop comprises the following process: thought, decision, action, reflection, learning. This is an iterative process in an upward positive spiral to ensure that we always return to the starting-point, only at a higher level. This is food for thought – this process prevails everywhere extraordinary results are generated.

We apply the latest research indicating that our brains contain several different centres of intelligence and preferences. These new insights into our manner of perception and the mental preferences we operate with are interesting, because they offer insight into why we act as we do. Also, they may lift the veil as to how we can use our potential, and that of others, in an optimal way when dealing with problem solving together.
