About Us

Leadership is alive within all of our organizations all of the time.

Each person is contributing to this either with consciousness and tuned into the radical shift in leadership paradigm that we are all experiencing or without consciousness and perhaps still clinging to a paradigm that is no longer serving the organization. We are living through a huge transformation and facing the challenges at local levels in addition to those at the global level. The world needs the wisdom of each human to move forward in ways that benefit the whole. Creating real, authentic community in your work environments leads to a sense of belonging where ownership and accountability are taken to new levels in addition to creativity, collaboration and innovation.

We believe the most forward looking companies are working on projects that require radical collaboration to solve some of their biggest challenges. This can feel uncomfortableness because vulnerability is required for radical collaboration. Our habitual patterns of participating in a group are no longer enough.

The new leadership paradigm is calling for us to learn ways of being with one another that creates a true sense of belonging. This requires us to lay to rest the defense mechanisms we have built up over time to help cope with life’s hardships and rather, to connect with one another realizing that we all have created these defensive mechanisms in our own unique way.

Our approach is always centered around the whole human and the holistic nature of our organizations. We teach leaders and their teams to nurture the emotional, mental, spiritual and physical health of the organization and the people who make up the organization.

There are new pathways for leadership that are tried and true and quickly help you build your own evidence in your own organization. Learn about these new paths, new thinking, new mindsets and new practices that help you move into new leadership with US. We know this can feel daunting to do on your own so the LuminUS team is here to help.

Creating real, authentic community in your work environments leads to a sense of belonging where ownership and accountability are taken to new levels in addition to creativity, collaboration and innovation.

HELPING OTHERS MAKE CONNECTIONS

Annyse Balkwill, PEng

Hello!! Thank you for spending time with us on our site. I am the founder of The LuminUS Group. I created this company after a decade of working in one of the largest global corporations. I spent my engineering career in the water industry and learned in this time that radical collaboration is needed for us to recreate our relationship with the planet and with one another.

I got more and more curious about how we care for our environments at work both consciously and subconsciously. This led me to become a certified Genuine Contact facilitator and an Open Space facilitator and ultimately to create this company. We partner with conscious leaders who are also embracing this new leadership paradigm and are figuring out how to co-create with their teams on their most important projects.
