There are eight assumptions of Rancho Notri:
1) In every society, organization, or group, something works
2) What we focus on becomes our reality
3) Reality is created in the moment, and there are multiple realities
4) The act of asking questions of an organization or group influences the group in some way
5) People have more confidence and comfort to journey to the future (the unknown) when they carry forward parts of the past (the known)
6) If we carry parts of the past forward, they should be what is best about the past
7) It is important to value differences
8) The language we use creates our reality
Rancho Notri works because it recognizes people are social, curious, and that we create identities and knowledge in relation to one another. People tell and listen to stories and in doing so pass on values, beliefs and wisdom. People like to learn and to apply that knowledge. People like doing well. We will enable leaders to create natural human organizations – knowledge rich, strength-based adaptable learning organization.
