Growth Programmes and Future Processes
Grow by recognising your strengths and potential
Increased performance is always the result of growing as a human being.
"Gave new tools, new perspectives and enhanced cooperation."
PARTICIPANT, GROWTH PROGRAMME, MEPA
The feedback above from a participant of Mepa Growth Programme is spot on in many ways:
New tools and perspectives can be found only with an open mind and the courage to explore new things. They lay the foundations for future action, where things are seen from a new perspective, tried and tested together – and separately.
This requires a carefully considered process, in which the needs, wishes and different perspectives of participants are heard.
Enhancing cooperation is another major process with many levels:
- coming together
- seeing the other
- looking in one direction
Does this sound challenging and difficult to put into practice?
My growth programmes make it surprisingly easy.
Read on to find out how to create growth and engage people in change - and on top of everything else, naturally.

Formula for Successful Growth
When you want results, just bringing people together is not enough. Only through trust will your process begin to bear fruit.
Once trust is built, the team turns in the same direction and good things start to happen.
This is how I redeem my customer promise:
the famous 1+1=3 can also be true for you and your team.
Because we are all different, we build the process to support being heard. Every step of the way. This allows the sum of the parts to rise above the everyday reality.
When people open up and have the courage to do what theu are best at, hidden potential can be unleashed.
My experiential learning method creates a place for you to learn, experience and see in a new way.
Growth always happens through positive experiences.
In my growth programmes I apply the Formula for Successful Growth:
- You face yourself and your situation. Honestly and with the support of others.
- You will find your own and shared resources.
- You share, discuss and try new things.
- Your confidence in your own abilities delivers new solutions.
- You will learn how to use both successes and failures for your benefit.
- The development will take place both separately and together.
The process results in the ability to steer the future.
The ability to steer the future is a feature of the whole organisation. It is not a project but an important part of the long-term thinking of the organisation. It requires an attitude and the courage to work together.
The ability to steer the future is a direct result of the bold approach you take to owning and facing challenging issues.
This leads to the courage to share ownership with employees.
Own your common future.
What happens in the Growth Programme?
You have warmed up, shared views, taken control of the space and built a common rhythm.
However, you are not yet there.
We will go deeper into the social core of the African rhythm.
Until you hear collective click.
A word, gesture or action brings a sudden shared insight:
"it's not about African drums, it's about me, myself".
It's about how to I will act in a situation and how can I contribute to the joint process.
After this small event, your team work rises to a new level.
Suddenly it becomes clear and meaningful for all participants to make an effort, to try something new, to pursue new ideas and to share their results.
How can we organise our work better?
What else could we try to learn something new?
The Team starts working together flexibly and innovatively - the hunger to innovate and boldly go for the new has been ignited - now the coach guides the process towards ever new insights, experiments, small and big learning events.
Towards success.
Finally, the team makes decisions where it wants to go and how it wants to get there.
With a common goal in mind, your team is at the beginning of a meaningful growth process.
The rest is history, written by you.
"As a method of growth or cultural change, I would see this as a very good tool. Your method moves cooperation from the realm of the mind and head to the holistic encounter that we all need as human beings."

How do you use it?
Because you are creating a shared future, it matters how you prepare.
It is important to ensure, that the momentum for positive change benefits your organisation in the long term.
How the Growth Programme is progressing
The process begins already before the first meeting by by activating the minds of the participants.
First meeting is either individual or joint coaching.
During the process we ensure the relevance of the topic by looking at it from a new, shared perspective.
During the process we create momentum for change.
Between meetings we plan experiments in everyday work.
At the end of the programme, we ensure the continuation of the desired activities and further development.
Finally we review the results and evaluate the process + get feedback.
What do we want to ensure?
Bringing the participants together, discovering the potential and keeping the process going is ensured by the experiential learning method.
Making sure everyone is heard and engaged in the process - especially in management teams - is ensured through personal coaching.
How new ideas work will be checked through everyday experiments. Through experiments we gain experience and information on the direction of development.
Meeting your needs from the beginning of the process.
For the support that is needed to get the team to grow, leadership involvement in the process is important.
Use of insights and results achieved in the development of the organisation more generally. Discussion with managers is part of the process.
Please note! Full participation in the Growth Programme does not require any previous experience in music.
