STEP 2: Hosting an event

Seeding Transformation: The First BEMi Event

When the department head of Company X gathered nearly 100 employees for BEMi's first event, it began with a mix of anticipation and skepticism. Amidst uncertainty, curiosity flickered. The goal was simple yet profound: to redefine "assertiveness" and help overcome the fear that hinders speaking up. Through interactive discussions, members aligned on the meaning of assertiveness and core challenges, preparing for a cultural transformation rooted in the natural desire to contribute.

STEP 3: Training Development

Starting Assertive Team Training

We embark on assertive team training at the heart of transformation. Small groups of eight members each will set out on a journey of self-discovery and growth. Guided by BEMi's experienced facilitators, they will face unexpected projects in every session, revealing their fears and learning from them. Each session will address and analyze the internal barriers to speaking up. The goal is to uncover each individual's core fears and develop resilience skills to survive even if their worst fears come true. They will learn that assertiveness is not built on the promise of success, but on the ability to recover from failure.

STEP 4: Signs of change

Ripple Effect: Gaining Momentum

A slow wave of transformation swept through Company X as participants of the BEMi program emerged with newfound confidence and insights. They shared glowing reviews of their experiences, emphasizing that not only had their assertive behavior been strengthened, but their performance in real meetings had improved. Witnessing their colleagues speak up effortlessly, even in difficult or large discussions, was inspiring. Slowly but surely, more employees began to step up, eager to experience the benefits of BEMi’s assertive team training firsthand. This organic growth, fueled by a shared sense of possibility, delivered palpable momentum—Maybe it’s okay to say what I’m thinking!

STEP 5: Culture Shift Emerges

Spiral: Gradual Cultural Evolution

Four years later, Company X continued to evolve. The change was not a sudden revolution but a steady progression in line with Japanese culture's pace. BEMi’s methodology was deeply embedded in the company’s ethos, fostering a culture where assertive behavior flourished organically. Over time, employees shed their inhibitions and gradually began to express their thoughts and opinions with newfound confidence. This subtle yet profound shift propelled innovation and collaboration to new heights, marking a significant departure from the previous norms of silence and reserved attitudes.

STEP 6: Moving Beyond Assertiveness

Advancement: Exploring Horizons Beyond Assertiveness

As Company X held more dynamic and efficient meetings in an environment where voices resonated more freely, they began contemplating the next stage of their cultural evolution. While satisfied with the progress in assertive behavior, there was a growing curiosity about what lay beyond. This curiosity gave rise to a new initiative, "BEMi Beyond." The focus shifted towards improving meeting dynamics through less restrictive facilitation methods, fostering team development, and bridging the gaps between siloed departments. It delved deeper into the realm of self-management, exploring advanced techniques designed to enhance collaboration, innovation, and unity. Guided by BEMi's expertise, Company X embraced this journey of continuous growth and evolution, laying the foundation for a future defined by limitless possibilities and untapped potential.
