No, never worked for them. Took a couple of programs from them some eight years ago (when the post was posted). And as to jargon, other than the quote at the beginning, where? In fact, that was the whole point of the post (and followup commentary), to try to express something to my friends and family who were regular readers of the blog that I found to be very useful in my personal life and growing a new business, in a way that didn’t use jargon, or at least explained it when it did. But, hey, that would have required you to read the post, rather than just have a biased knee-jerk reaction to the idea based on some preconceived notions about what it was all about.

There’s no doubt there are programs out there that are all about self improvement, etc. – and the roots of this one, in the est training, certainly have tended that way after several decades. However, it’s one of the principal reasons behind the break with that organization.

Rather than being about improvement, or for that matter, anything self oriented, Contegrity is about altering the conversation in the communities you participate in so that it’s focused around neither improvement, nor mere results (in the form of things or scores or money or…), but rather around what makes life fulfilling, i.e., worth waking up for in the morning, for all of that communities’ members, and if one then extends that out, for all the connected communities to that one… eventually, one could extrapolate, to consider the entire population to be one community which could actually be engaged in something other than mundane existence.
