Our workshops, leadership groups, and educational support are all designed to give you the experience of the culture you wish to create. Sagely consultants will share factual information with you that is important to learn, but our focus is on creating an experience of trust, support, and calm that allows you to form new connections and new ideas. We give you the best soil, but you are always the gardener.

The practice of metacognition, thinking about thinking or thinking about feeling, is a skill to develop. The more adept we are at being aware of our own thoughts, feelings, and experiences, the more likely we are to choose consciously rather than simply repeat past actions. We become a source of trust and wisdom for others by increasing our own awareness of influencing factors. Metacognition is enhanced by giving attention to both intellectual and felt responses. Sagely consultants teach you strategies and practices for enhancing your ability to move between small details and the bigger picture. From this perspective, you see more options and confidently pinpoint your best points of intervention in a task, project, or process. 

When you learn to focus metacognitively before taking action, you have more opportunities to change outcomes and behavior–for yourself, your colleagues, and patients. Being healthy is about more than just things like good cholesterol, the right medicine, and frequent exercise. People make decisions that influence their health based on social norms, historical legacies, and cultural factors, seen and unseen. Sagely consultants teach you to relate to people and research in a way that acknowledges the emotions, thoughts, history, and beliefs behind behavior. A metacognitive and holistic approach improves patient outcomes and provider resilience and satisfaction.
