DENVER (August 1, 2000) Tango Consulting (www.tangoconsulting.org), a national consulting company, today announced the release of founder and president Katherine Carol's new book: Tango: Dance of Self-Discovery, Fun & Simple Steps to Passionate Partnerships and Soulful Living.
This is a "playbook" for managers and executives to use as a powerful teambuilding tool and for individuals seeking more meaning in their lives.
Many employees accept jobs without giving much thought to their suitability. At the same time, companies in today's fast-changing world require their employees to perform at higher levels than ever before. This creates a conflicting dynamic with which leaders and managers must deal - often by using ineffective reward and incentive programs. Instead, they would have better success helping people help themselves - the only way Carol believes companies can actually reach their objectives for greater buy-in and productivity.
Carol teaches a strategic planning process that transforms the work culture into a "we" culture rather than an "us versus them" culture. Using the Tango book as a guide, employees participate in their personal planning processes simultaneously with the organization's strategic planning process to create an alignment of purpose.
Why the Tango theme? Tango is a dance of subtleties and nuances . . . and so is life. Taken to the extreme, nuances reflect the difference between dining in an exclusive restaurant and racing through the pick-up line at a fast food place. Unfortunately, many people - and organizations - exist on life's equivalent of fast-food diets.
Tango: Dance of Self-Discovery offers a way to discover what's in the soul and the heart. As a facilitator, Carol sets in motion a transformative process from the inside out. This means getting people to look inside themselves first before making changes at work. As she explains, "When a person's aspirations align with the vision of his or her work group, the group's activities take on the lively characteristics of the Tango: balance, energy, synchronicity. This change feels magical but it's not mystical. And each person can make it happen!"
As people take steps in their own dance of discovery, they build a dream that makes sense for them. This process, as Carol and her book direct it, teaches people to slow down so they can develop a new relationship with time. "When they do, they have more time and can accomplish more with grace and elegance and provocative flair - just like the Tango dance itself!" notes Carol.
Tango Consulting works with professionals in corporate, entrepreneurial and non-profit organizations across the country. A national seminar leader, facilitator and speaker, Carol works with individuals and organizations to discover their purpose and get from-the-heart results.
