What is the Medicine Wheel Tool?

The Medicine Wheel Tool is one of the 11 key components of the Genuine Contact program. This tool is based on the medicine wheel used by Indigenous Peoples around the world and given for use in the world by all races by a group of native elders in 1987. Native peoples around the world had preserved the knowledge of the medicine wheel as a way of understanding life and communities and how to make adjustments as needed. As the story goes, the ‘Red Race’ was given the responsibility of preserving the medicine wheel by the Creator until the time was right to share the tool with the other races for the benefit of the whole human race. The time has come. Evidence of what is known as the Medicine Wheel is found in even the oldest cave art and in Indigenous people around the world, depicting a circle divided into four quadrants seeming to represent north, south, east and west.

The Medicine Wheel Tool is rooted in these ancient traditions and provides an opportunity for working within a holistic framework in a variety of applications in both business and life. Learn more.

Mentoring Circles & Mastermind Groups

Mentoring is a key ingredient in building organizations that thrive. It’s a cost-effective way to build capacity, strengthen relationships, and increase engagement and job satisfaction.

Moving Beyond Traditional Mentor-Mentee Relationships to Mentoring Circles

Traditional mentoring in organizations pairs a more senior employee with a junior counterpart.- often helping them onboard into a new job or contributing to their career path within the organization It is a one-way relationship between 2 people with the mentor guiding the mentee. The learning and teaching are limited to these 2 people without benefit to others in the organization.

Mentoring Circles, on the other hand, bring a group of people together for collective mentoring. With a possible mix of levels of seniority, roles within the organization and departments, collective learning happens that impacts the entire organization. Regular mentoring circles focused on the skills, competencies, and experiences needed to achieve the organization’s goals can result in continual development of your organizational capacity, strengthening the organization and all of its employees.
