fundamental mastery
Through a proven 7 step process, Fundamental Mastery (FM) helps companies, systems, and individuals break down barriers to success allowing potential maximization & goal attainment.
our mission
We believe that organizations and people thrive when the full system is working well. That's why we rely on our process to examine the full picture and come up with holistic, tailored solutions.
how the process works
The key to the valuable results attained through the implementation of the Fundamental Mastery process is the attention given to important details and support measures often overlooked and typically left out of other processes aimed at achieving similar outcomes.
The Fundamental Mastery process’ exploration of methods of self-reflection organically leads individuals to gaining awareness and insight. With this insight, actions are then aligned with the intended outcome or goal. FM’s tailored measures of appropriate support allow for signs and signals to be clearly assessed resulting in a seamless evaluation process.
This (anonymous, if desired) workplace culture survey allows for heightened awareness around some of the strengths within your workplace as well as some of the challenges that, when overcome, can lead you toward more satisfaction, success, efficiency and productivity as well as assist with employee morale.

Can you relate?
A good part of your workday entails you racing around and attempting to fit it all in. Your commitment to yourself and those you serve is to be the best you can be.
During your time with each person, you do your best to correctly uncover pain points while listening intently to both physical and mental symptoms all the while clearly seeing how it’s having an emotional impact as well.
You prescribe what you believe to be the best course of treatment for remediation before racing off to your next patient or responsibility.
The appointment times are short, and your workdays are long. The efforts you put forth as you are in service to these individuals often leave you missing lunch and being on your feet most of the day while ignoring your aches and pains that are signaling your own need for some attention.
When individuals return, you find some of them have responded well to the treatment while others continue to disregard your recommendations leaving them either in a status quo pattern or with declining health despite continued efforts on your part.
Prolonged exposure to such circumstances creates ideal conditions for the type of frustration that inevitably leads to professional burnout. What was once a pleasant conversation with a treasured client or patient in a confidential space has now turned into a dreaded gripe session leaving you depleted in a room feeling like a chamber of horrors without an exit in sight.
What if…
it didn’t have to be this way?
the continued health decline was less about patient/client defiance or “laziness” and more about their inability to follow through due to a lack of knowing how to do so?
there was a process/program that could complement your efforts empowering both you and those you work diligently to assist?

What if there was…
a way to pinpoint the true lack, “the missing piece”, of the unrealized issue that just keeps eating away at efforts, resources, and patience?
a program that could accomplish what other implemented quality programs have yet-to-do because the focus has been on treating the symptoms rather than aligning actions that access the true cause of those varied symptoms?
such a program that not only assisted with finding the cause but also offered a framework of tailored strategies to seamlessly provide guidance through the process of unraveling the mystery, sifting through the debris, and salvaging those quality pieces of that are already effective while incorporating additional aligned components; all of which leads to the attainment of the true potential of the whole system?

Anyone who is in education can most assuredly attest to the fact that the pendulum continues to swing. There’s nothing wrong with change. However, appropriate change aligned with the correctly identified problem is often what’s missing when districts bump from one program to another, each pitching well-intentioned solutions to “fix” whatever the perceived current issue.
The desired end result may be raising student scores, turning the dial up on the number of at-risk students that make it to their intended graduation years, or finding solutions that will allow the district as a whole to reach state and federal requirements and mandates.
All great intentions. Yet, in the midst of such worthy quests, kudos must be given to those that are wholeheartedly attempting to find the right key to unlock the desired success and attain the intended goal(s). The result of these well intentioned yet misaligned actions can be heard and seen in the palpability of the morale of those valuable veteran teachers and educators sitting in the back rows of auditoriums on the initial workshop days of a new school year. Some utter comments under their breath in response to implementing yet another “new” program while others more quietly deliver their internal rebuttals, unheard but clearly seen in their body language. Their lack of buy-in isn’t all that preposterous.
These are the same individuals who care so deeply about the quality of the difference they can make in their students’ lives but often are disheartened and exhausted when being asked to learn, organize, and implement yet another program that may not even hit the target of issues that seem so obvious to them from the front of their classrooms and as they maneuver between the tables, chairs in their quests to reach every student.
Turnover rates in education are skyrocketing…in some districts more than others. This leads to a whole new dilemma for districts that is less student-focused and more staff-focused as many quality educators are walking away leaving the burden of those who remain to mentor and train new hires while at the same time continuing to uphold their already full schedules.
