The integration of KOKORO-DO in a management workshop made it possible for all participants to meet their decision-making power and to focus and sharpen it. Working with the swords made it possible to physically, mentally and spiritually face the essential issue of “making a decision and going through with it”. The experiences from this flowed into the entire consulting process and had a lasting effect. In addition to getting to know one's own approaches, this input also enabled a group dynamic process that clearly illustrated management issues. Also, the mindful bowing ritual was a bonding and very respectful one. Doris Nachtlberger and her assistant Udo Feldmann accompanied the samurai impulses in a highly professional manner and with full commitment.
