Logos is a Greek word with an extraordinary range of meanings. It refers to a "word" or a "thought" or a spoken phrase or an idea which conveys something which is meaningful and “alive,” thus moving the hearer.

Noesis, also from the Greek, refers to wisdom in its most complete form. It is knowledge and understanding. It encompasses thought, feelings, and “soul,” or virtuosity. It is direct mental apprehension of timeless and unchangeable principles and applies in particular to moral and spiritual issues. It’s the ability to know something deeply. It includes the intuitive capacity of the brain to combine perception, feelings, “soul” and thought to come up with an instant wise “insight.”

Thus, in Logos Noesis you have active words (or language) and wisdom combining to produce a Wise Dialogue that can take us to places we have not even imagine. This is the kind of Transformative Conversations that Logos Noesis encourages and facilitates.

About Dr. Ada

Change has always intrigued me. I have not only experienced much change in my own life, but have made the study of change my life-long project. In bringing my personal experiences with change, art, travel, and international living, I help leaders become virtuosos of change. For the past 25 years I have worked with people experiencing change. Time and again CEO's and upper managers have been amazed at how smoothly I help them navigate important transitions and safely conquer new terrain. [learn more]
