AikiCom, what is it ?

Competition is everywhere at work and at home. When it is pushing us to raise our level of performance, it is stimulating. When it is generating conflict and opposition, it erodes morale and relationships and it makes us ineffective.

AïkiCom is a way to feed a cooperative climate and benevolence at work, at home, with friends, relatives or colleagues.

In the field of behavioral change, self-management, authentic communication, knowledge is not enough.
To integrate our knowledge and implement it in daily work and private life, we cannot ignore our body. AikiCom is an embodied approach. Combining physical and mental performance technical learning management practice is radically changing the way we communicate together, manage conflict, teamwork.[/cs_text][cs_text]

Every survey studies confirm that well-being in the workplace does not improve. The hidden cost of this malaise is huge. AïkiCom is the perfect approach to develop a culture of cooperation and kindness in cultures where competition and aggressivity is undermining the organization’s efficiency.

L’AïkiCom’ is the meeting of Aikido, a japanese martial art advocating non aggressive conflict resolution and efficient communication approaches like NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming), TA(Transactionnal Analysis) and NVC (Non Violent Communication).

The troubled period we’re experiencing requires new responses. Today’s leaders can not simply do as they did before. More than ever it is appropriate to return to more authenticity, presence, daring dialogue that allows the emergence of collective intelligence while preserving indviduality. The leader of tomorrow needs to develop new skills. He has to be assertive, stimulate, participate in the creation of a shared vision and channel dynamics that puts each player in action. Authenticity, presence and connection are the qualities AïkiCom can develop. These ingredients are essential to decide and act in a world increasingly unpredictable and volatile where no one can yet claim to hold alone “the” truth.

Born from the encounter of a martial art with communication and personal development approaches AïkiCom’s first domain of application was to address conflict management by combining body to words.

It manages to combine fighting spirit and kindness, self-respect and respect for others. The practice of AïkiCom offers us to live a benevolent form of power and live and act in authenticity. It combines pro-activity and perception of living in the flow of events through the application of the fundamental principle of Aikido ( consisting of not opposing the force with force, which boosts resistance) but to welcome the energy of the attack to provoke change and restore dialogue.
