Discover the Unknown


The Amazon Rainforest is perhaps the most remarkable place on planet earth. It consitutes 54% of the earth’s total rainforest. It covers 2.5 million square miles, nine countries and produces 20% of earth’s oxygen. There are riches in the amazon, most of which await discovery.


- One third of the planet’s bird species reside here.

- Half of all plant species, some ten million, can be found here.

- Over 3,000 different edible fruits are here in the forest.

- Yet only about 200 of them are well known to the western world.

- It is estimated that there are approximately fifty undiscovered tribes within this lush, mysterious place.


Every tributary, every trail leads to new discoveries and a wealth of new information. It is the most undiscovered resource on the planet and as leaders, we would do well to learn from her.


When was the last time you explored your people as you would the Amazon? Whether you are aware of it or not, they are your greatest asset.


What talents, what wisdom, what new insights lie deep within them?


What treasures can you uncover to transform your organization in new ways?


You will never know the depths of your people without intentional, adventurous inquiry. Sit with them, begin to explore... The treasures that you will uncover will blow your mind and transform your leadership awareness as never before. Tap into the wealth, start the journey.
