The Idea Of Tai Chi In Business

We certainly know the many therapeutic benefits proven in many scientific studies. Tai Chi is an ancient Chinese martial art with practical self-defense on the street.

The concept of Tai Chi is not meeting brute force with brute force. It is rather listening to the incoming force, touch, absorb this force and redirect. On the other hand the same hand which redirects keeps focusing forward, at any time ready to attack.

Tai Chi classes are widely conducted in corporate settings. The stress reducing effects are well proven in clinical trials. In a business negotiation we would not like to attack but rather achieve our goals in a satisfactory manner against the counterparts' objections.

Tai Chi's idea of yielding instead of force against force, finding an opportunity to put across our business makes this wonderful art a very helpful tool for management and working staff alike.
