Objective
Senior managers, who have many years experience, have taken most of sales, leadership, personal development trainings that are known. Does it mean that we came to the border of development with training? We have transformed AIKIDO philosophy, which is a Far East sport and art that has been developed by Morihei Ueshiba Sensei and has been affecting deeply physical skills and spiritual developments of millions of people all around the world, to a unique training/transformation program. With AIKIDO's harmony philosophy with universal energy, participants will be able to use many strategies like Samurais' patience and resistance, their ability to continue when they are at the end of their physical limits, their capability to direct multi attacks with pleasure and their power to protect their unconditional love of life despite all difficulties, as metaphors for situations like crisis management, dealing with competition, etc. in their business life.
