GDP - Greatly Damaged People

I was watching TV and Prof Michael Fitzgerald was on a current affairs programme. He stated in very simple terms, that the fixation with GDP has not been good for the welfare of the people of Ireland.

It struck me that all the clients that we see, who have been chasing GDP as defined by the neighbour's holidays, the brother in law's new car, that it has caused much burnout in this Celtic Tiger economy.

Sometimes, I think that GDP could equally stand for Greatly Damaged People.

Luckily, we are preparing now with programmes that will help and fill the gap that state services will find difficult to deliver on - in the workplace

That is where the alchemism foundation will truly change the way that workplaces are viewed - from places of stress to places of healing.

It has never been done before and it wont be easy, but that does not mean we are not going to try

Wish us luck - get involved !
