The Art of Business is a 6 chapter program for people who want to create empowered workplace cultures with self-awareness, emotional intelligence, and compassion.
"A journey to the core essence of your company"
Yves Boudreau, CEO Alongside
From the bedroom to the boardroom, we have nonstop feelings about ourselves, each other, and our circumstances. Life is emotional.
Feelings influence our outlook, dictate our actions, and inform our choices. Yet many relate to them as dangerous and problematic in business where the agenda has always been about efficiency, consistency, and speed.
Society has normalized the idea that ‘business isn’t personal’ and collapsed ‘professionalism’ with ‘emotionless’.
However, business feels very personal, because work isn’t just about what we do all day — it’s also how we feel while doing it. We are not robots.
Are feelings really bad for business, or are we just afraid of them?
Despite having robust knowledge, skills, and processes, 65%+ of employees are disengaged and unhappy because they don’t feel supported, valued, or connected to their work.
So if we know this scientifically, why do we continue to avoid, deny, punish, and step-over our feelings and emotional experiences at work?
What if they were a key to a new level of creativity, fulfilment, performance, and joy?
"A highly challenging experience which is not always comfortable, but is very valuable."
— Jon N, Director of Design
If you work with others, and wish to be more influential, effective, and connected with them, the Art of Business is for you.
Each chapter explores your emotional relationship to an area of business, and the impact it has on your experience, performance, and results.
Through guided stories, lessons, and exercises, you'll learn how to develop muscle around feelings in the workplace, and put new skills into practice.
This program was designed by a team of experts to help people develop mastery around feelings, and to be a champion for emotional intelligence and self-awareness.
The Art of Business is designed for:
Leaders, or those who aspire to lead others with compassion and ease
Those who don’t believe hustle and grind is the only way to live/work
Those who value soft skills (self-awareness, EQ, communication skills)
Businesses who understand empathy and kindness as an advantage
People who want to improve the quality of their work relationships
People who want to feel connected to their work and colleagues
Those who want to experience work life with more ease and flow
Our modern world requires loving, emotionally intelligent, and self-aware leadership more than ever before. So if you can tell the difference between DOING leadership, and BEING a leader, the Art of Business is for you.

"After working with Bold&Resolute, I started a practice of observing my context when I felt challenged. Following their simple exercises, I also put it into practice within my team and within days I noticed a difference. I can now ride a bike again, and the office dog grew its beard back!"
