The message behind the madness
Identifying problems, developing solutions, and delivering results are the outer layer of strategy and leadership consulting. These steps treat symptoms to keep organizations alive.
The Cultured Scholar catalyzes the transmutation of consciousness by diagnosing and treating the subject at hand, be it an executive’s thought leadership strategy, a public relations campaign, a criminal justice organization’s toxic subculture, or a tech startup’s roadmap.
We perform root cause analysis at the personal and organizational psychology levels and correlate qualitative insights with quantitative performance metrics. Our approach overlays the hierarchy of consciousness and human needs with the metaphor of the body as a guide to diagnose and treat an organization or campaign holistically.
Most communications strategies focus on the brand, the thought leader, and opportunistic positioning. This approach is self-seeking, self-serving, and the root of public mistrust in brands and institutions.
The Cultured Scholar employs the fashion merchandiser’s methodology to communications — show it in action. In the Christian church, this is known as lifestyle evangelism. Our approach centers around identifying target audience problems, pain points, and aspirations and showcasing the thought leader, brand, or rehabilitated psyche as the practical solution that will stand the test of time.
Walk your talk. You’ll be fine.
The standard consulting and communications mindset focuses on symptom identification and treatment, likened to modern Western healthcare practices. This mindset is inherently superficial and often creates more problems than it solves, as it places focus either on the brand, leader, or organization with little to no regard for the multidimensional aspect of life, the universe, and humanity.
Drawing on ancient wisdom teachings, Judeo-Christian mysticism, indigenous medicine practices, and the Hermetic teachings in The Kybalion, The Cultured Scholar infuses esoteric concepts from philosophy, theology, and behavioral psychology to transmute human and organizational consciousness from superficial lead into intuitive gold, bringing healing and long-standing transformation to those we serve.
