KYUDO ManagementTM

Inspired by the ancestral Japanese art of archery, KYUDO Management™ has been developed by Aurélie Sirdey. This is an Original Approach to find "the right" attitude and action regarding professional issues.

In the Japanese art of archery, the archer does not seek to multiply shots to reach the target. What matters is to do it with one single arrow. The kyûdô calls to pause, to concentrate, to look around before releasing the arrow. The preparation of body and mind affects the quality of the shot. You have to know how to observe before acting. It is a time to pause and be silent, a time for connection with the environment and with oneself.

DYNAMIQUE CRÉATIVE
CONSCIOUSNESS
The kyûdô challenges the impatience and the rush of the archer who would like to succeed immediately by relying only on his will. Firstly, the archer must learn how to calm down and feel a sort of inner balance. All that the archer rejects or hides is reflected in the body posture, the breathing and the vitality. The kyûdô practice is like a mirror - a self confrontation - that challenges the archer who is too focused on the immediate success.
AGILITY
In a society of immediacy, speed and time pressure are common. By rushing and multiplying actions, we act in extreme haste, undermining the teams and the projects. The strategic vision and the business are limited to the short term, which weakens people's inspiration. However in this "digitalized" and "accelerating" business environment, the action should better resonate with Measure and Agility. This is why KYUDO Management™ promotes a dynamic balance between "Quietness" (not acting under strong pressure), "Authenticity" (being sufficiently in tune with our job), and "Openness" to the ecosystem (teams, stakeholders, customers...).
CREATIVE DYNAMIC

By developing our inner resources, our sensory skills and our openness, KYUDO Management™ brings more innovation, efficiency, satisfaction and purpose. It is a way to transform frozen states into creative impulse and to focus on the essential. As a result, "action and attitude" become the epitome of the "right" performance. By re-engaging a creative dynamic, it allows one to face many challenges.

Like archery, KYUDO Management™ is a practice.

Your professional challenges
Most business issues stem from four major themes
STRATEGY
MANAGEMENT
COMMUNICATION
SELF
STRATÉGIE
MANAGEMENT
COMMUNICATION
SOI
STRATEGY

The quest of immediacy limits the understanding of business issues. Focused on the short term, the business vision narrows. The manager can loose his sight and lock his team into the micro-management.

How to strengthen the ability to project your vision sustainably into the future?
How to reconnect with your long term vision?
How to embody a business project that resonates with both teams and customers?

MANAGEMENT

Nowadays information flows in continuous-time, the emails, texts and messages are overloading inboxes. We promote transversal management and e-leadership, without really knowing how to infuse new working dynamics.

How to work virtuously in a context of digitalization?
How to engage teams around what really makes sense?
How to facilitate working relationships, when our digital screens inhibit these relationships?
How to give a sense of purpose to individual and collective actions?

COMMUNICATION

With the increase of exchanges and the globalization of business, we encounter various cultures and mindsets. The cultural diversity - different ways of being and acting - can generate frustration; impacting the business project development.

How to accommodate our modus operandi with others?
How to have better insight to understand our social and cultural conditioning?
How to develop assertiveness in a context of otherness?

SELF

When the consequences of time pressure are "fast achievement" and "doing more in less time"… This feeling of urgency easily affects working relationships and global performance.

How to instill a perception of time that enables human confidence?
How to get rid of the tyranny of speed and slow down?
How to encourage emotional balance and accept our "limitations"?

Types of actions

For Managers and Leaders

INDIVIDUAL COACHING

Customized support dedicated to your personal and business context. Take a unique moment to explore, understand and find your levers of growth and your drivers. Go beyond obstacles, move smoothly and confidently in order to create new possibilities. Become a gentle actor of your professional existence. Develop your performance and openness to change, combining inner balance and collective success.

ORGANIZATIONAL COACHING

Allow teams to identify sticking points so as to transform them. Give the chance to find a new working dynamic and a sense of purpose. Provide a reflexive frame to develop personal and collective resources for global success. Confront the different perceptions in order to move forward in a respectful way. Instill the consciousness of being and acting for a better human performance.

LEADERS ENCOUNTERS

These intercompany encounters (Orange, EDF and L'Oréal) question the perception of time and how it impacts the management. This program is designed to offer various perspectives in terms of mindsets and cultures in order to enhance the leader's practices. These meetings were initiated in 2015 by Christine CAYOL philosopher and founder of Cabinet Synthesis, who has lived in Beijing for more than fifteen years.

TRAINING & CONFERENCES

Training courses and conferences address key management issues:
Leadership Agility in the context of digitalization, The challenge of mind-wandering in the age of immediacy, Individual commitment and collective purpose, The perception of time and the working relationship, Business intercultural challenges…

For Coaching Practitioners

SUPERVISION & TRAINING

Individual supervisions are proposed. The approach is resolutely "stretchable" to stimulate the coach's professional practice. It is about encouraging and developing agility in order to get the ability to handle extremely varied clients' situations.
For five years, Aurélie Sirdey has participated in the coaching training at HEC Executive Education.

Raising awareness: THE BOOK

"We live in a world where speed, screens and mental stimulation dominate. So is it really possible to reconnect with ourselves?"

What pushes us to constantly rush, run and disperse? How to gain lucidity and understand what is going inside and around us? This book is a testament to the dizzying digital changes in our lives, showing the difficulty to be really here in the moment. By taking a simple and fair look, it shows the "digital man" in a context of hyper solicitations and immediacy.

By raising awareness of the "human challenges", this book is a chance to improve our way of living. It invites us to free up from "digital servitude".
