Compassion Institute
Our Assist
showing organizations an optimal way of decentralizing the Flow of Awareness, resulting Shared Insight, and properly Aligned Action towards desired Outcomes.
We show you the easiest way to “Bridge the Intuition of people who are trying to share an inspiring Mission and Way of supporting community.” – Harmony
Our Approach
to Learning is not to tell abstractly, but to instead empower you and your Teams to Sense and Respond to directly, to what IS happening, like it or not.
Perhaps the only failure in life is to sense a need to adapt and fail to do so. Instead, let’s offer compassionate, timely and meaningful support. Unfortunately, too often, we hesitate or resist change and the new learning that results. Our relationships suffer.
Our Goal
is to help you courageously and collectively experiment, learn and adapt, to enjoy yOur life experiences. Compassionate support for all of Life.
Let’s nurture a responsive, collective mindset of sincere concern for all human experience? Maybe this expands beyond the human purview and results in return to 🌎 Balance for all existing (more-than-human)?
the 'state of' human Compassion - a qualified perspective ...
Compassion is the result of FELT experience between Natural Beings sincerely attempting to share reality, reflecting, learning, and adapting to One-anOthers’ needs and desires, towards joyfully Existing & kNowing, that they both really DO … exist.
The majority of humanity unknowingly competes for a meager survival, instead of thriving together through mutual support and reciprocity, like we did before the time of Financial Abstractions born from Financial Kingdoms. We unknowingly support the Kings’ obsessions by helping them to hoard Artificial wealth. There is never enough for a mindset of divide and conquer. DomiNation over all Beings is required to centralize that wealth. A techNOlogic society has now birthed Artificial Intelligence – a final assault on Natural Being that is realized only from direct, shared, Compassionate experience among Natural Beings, and the broadest possible resulting Understanding of Life’s design and goal.
We offer solutions for a return to Original, Natural Freedom, by countering delusional desires to CONTROL existence, with instead, Compassionate support FOR ALL of natural existence which is striving to unite reality in relativity (inescapable, co-arising, codependent / entangled energy, happenings and [non] awareness).
Founder: David Harmony [Energy-Alignment Consultant], is a painful witness to problematic (unfortunate, avoidable) Strategy, Leadership, and Teaming dynamics across 100+ Large organizations spanning 12 industries, over 35+ years. A core problem and solution is enabling the culture to ADMIT what they do NOT Understand, and encouraging everyone to sincerely support each other daily, in the inspiring discovery of what they now know better, by experimenting, learning, and adapting, together.
When tempted to utter “customers“, we encourage you to instead, remember and honor that your Organization signed up to support COMMUNITY in some distinct and hopefully inspiring way.
If we use the term Customer on this site, please understand the implied swap and focus on physical, real-world humans co-existing as a relevant commUnity.
“my storyline will have mattered, as Compassion flows through humanity once again … maybe then, we will deserve the label manKIND.”
– David Harmony

Compassion reDefined
… the indiscriminate Support and realized Love, for every aspect of Life.
I lovingly suggest that realizing compassion is the purpose for existence. – Harmony
To feel compassion for anOther, we must fully understand our relationship with that aspect of Life. By design, we ‘invest’ some time feeling separate from others and environment. This brings our self and others mental and often physical suffering. But the opportunity to rebalance is born from this aggravating action, sparking yOur pursuit of reUnion and resulting Compassion – truly knowing that we are safe in this reality.
We as humans-being, operate in abstractions, intellectually reinforced for a false sense of knowledge, security and control over life’s happenings. This is the initiating act of separation.
How do we coherently witness the surrounding system(s) of separation?
How do we reclaim our inherent freedom to flow freely, with agency over our storyline, playing out within these systems? … especially in this hyper-ACTive, virtualized digital, artificial reality, driven by the mantra “time = money” and “working for [a right to] a Living”?
We begin by questioning our {i}dentity. What is my acting role in the system? Learn about the Cascading Styles Surrounding you, constraining and defining you (your C.O.G.). Intensely observing CSS will reveal the origin of systemic behaviors, both those desired and unintended. Your freedom is a choice-less act. </>
Broadening Awareness
How do we expand our impact and support for Life, whether communal or commerce oriented causes?
We offer you ways of “scaling” the well-timed inclusion of people in the broadening of Awareness, which results in better insights and decision-making with genuine shared commitment. Servant leadership must represent the collective insights and commitment of all talent that’s attempting to support the organization’s cause. There is a pragmatic way to ensure that people are included in a way that optimizes the Flow of Value (support) to community or customers.
Support & Honor People
It’s all about Relationships
Empathy is the current global design-thinking paradigm, but that falls flat of predictably delivering and nurturing evolving human relationships.
We must think AND act quickly, in a way that senses, responds and adapts to evolving reality. We strive to help people find and cherish a shared reality.
Honor your relationships by taking a proactive posture and mindset of ownership over shared experiences (between your Teams and Customers). The better you understand and solve for true Need(s) of People (customers and employees) and not what they minimally “ask for”, the better your relationship will be.
Our solutions empower strong relationships. Compassion without hesitation – our Mission.
Compassion is the result of shared empathy AND action, in both directions. People from a local community, serving broader communities in inspiring, meaningful ways. Teams cherishing customers / community, and Community cherishing those who serve them.

Do you offer Team-based, cadenced-paced Cohort learning?
This is our specialty. We offer industry-unique delivery, combining self-study with Live coaching, perfectly timed to the Team’s rhythm of plan-deliver events.
Teaching orgs how to scale effectively for 30+ years, we have a unique know-how and Technology stack, that enables us to support dozens of Teams concurrently, while offering each Team the unique attention they deserve on their own change-journey.
Can you quickly find the root issue within really difficult, broader symptoms?
This is also our specialty. While we do offer Retainer agreements as part of Discovering underying needs, we much prefer that once we’ve diagnosed the core issue and “lead domino” solution, we much prefer to focus on EACH core Outcome we know we can deliver on, one at a time (if that’s appropriate).
We have industry-unique, specifically focused coaching roadmaps against the shortest timelines and wisest, smallest Investment. Our goal is to FIND the root issue and resolve it, so the rest of the system automatically improves.
This is true for business planning systems AND human kinetics while recovering fully from an injury. Our approach is similar. We have helped dozens of organizations avoid closure since the 90s and we have helped 100s of people recover from intense, life-altering body pain. We have a rare, distinct advantage – let’s discuss?
Do you offer warranties or refunds?
Clarity of individual (yours, your org and mine) and shared responsibilities across a timeline of focused activities towards clear and relevant outcomes, is crucial.
In this regard, we are distinctly capable of ensuring a realization of desired outcomes. 34+ years of broad AND deep experience spanning a dozen industries and 50+ orgs across the world.
We begin with the end in mind. Our primary assist is teaching your organization (or or your self, if seeking services focusing on you individually) HOW to shape an Experiment which you can execute with high confidence, attributing outcomes to your evolving approach (whether healing your body, Team, or entire Organization).
For the bigger investment services, we readily negotiate the billing approach in a manner that incrementally confirms your investment IS paying off. This is a cost avoidance approach, better than a refund against sunk costs including time expended NOT towards beneficial outcomes, and change risk incurred that should have been avoided.
We are a far better option than most solutions, especially in this regard.
How do you ensure your Availability to my / our pressing concerns?
My scheduling tech is highly integrated and fully representative of ALL my ongoing commitments.
As a highly experienced consultant of 25+ years, I am able to find focused solutions against the shortest timelines. I know how to layer in my commitments while avoiding being over loaded on any given day or week.
My obsession is being available to you, just when you needed me. As a Strategy and Agility consultant, removing delays in decision support is my specialty.
I guarantee my response times expressed in each of my Services offered. If there are issues, I’m sensitive to improving my delivery and readily adapt to your feedback.
Your offering is unique. How do I know I'm getting the best deal, financially?
Yes, our Services are often complex and hard to price-shop. Most often, there are no comparable alternatives.
Therefore, we offer Return on Investment (ROI) calculators which transparently convey both how we improve your situation and how to express those Savings, especially to your Finance function, whether your Org’s CFO or your scruitinzing life-partner in the case of our more personal individual Services.
Do you offer Trials or other confidence-building entry-level services?
Absolutely. Typically each Service we offer has a Good / Better / Best offer format, which helps you buy with confidence.
You can “kick our tires” and get to know us a bit first. We can find ways to help you realize great value in lower risk scenarios. Witness our delivery platform and approach, up close and personal, before investing in bigger endeavors.
