The Attollo Process

to help Catholic business leaders live a life of business success and sanctity

The process is based on three truths about Catholic business leaders I discovered when creating Attollo.

You unintentionally create your company's culture by bringing your personal behaviors and habits, both good and bad,  into the workplace. Your company’s real culture is how your employee’s make decisions on behalf of the company when you are not there. Those decisions are based on a set of assumptions they use to resolve problems that they face every day. Those assumptions are built on their observations of what you or you leadership team do and how you act. 

Kevin O’Leary (Mr. Wonderful on the TV show Shark Tank) says that "If you're a leader and say you have no weakness, you're full of crap." I might soften that up by using an old Dutch saying “Pride blinds a person to their blindness”.  We are all broken. We need to continually work on our inner selves which requires humility to recognize and acknowledge our brokenness.

Many business owners take that work they loved to do and turn it into a job. The ability to create a product or service is certainly at the core of any business. Yet, many businesses operate according to what the owner wants versus what the business actually needs to survive and to grow. In many cases the business and the owner are the same thing, nothing happens - sales, delivery, service, hiring, bookkeeping etc  without the owner being there.
 
Often a business owner's time is allocated this way - the majority of time is spent working in the business or thinking about the business, then what's left over goes to the family or other loved ones, then lastly, maybe a brief thought about God.
 

Saint Augustine wrote "our heart is unquiet until it rests in you (God)".  He pursued things and was attached to unhealthy desires, and yet his boundless vanity made him long to appear that he was elegant and sophisticated to outsiders - that he had influence and status. He ultimately asks in frustration,  "Who can unravel this most snarled, knotty tangle? It is disgusting, and I do not want to look at it or see it. With you (God) is rest and tranquil life. I slid away from you and wandered away, my God; far from your steadfastness I strayed in adolescence, and I became to myself a land of famine." 

He ultimately found true joy by inviting God into his heart and creating room there for Him to dwell. The rest is history. He became a saint and that is God's will for you too.

Attollo: The Path to Success and Sanctity For Catholic Business Leaders

Attollo is a Catholic business leadership development organization focused on the whole or integrated executive in these areas:

  • Personal Development: Working on the inner hidden self to unravel that knotty tangles of your life.
  • Professional Mastery:  Working on the business so it provides for you, your family, and all those who interact with it.
  • Spiritual Maturity: Working on your relationship with God to to start down the path to your sanctity.

We accomplish this through peer group meetings and one on one coaching. 

Peer Group Meetings for Catholic business leaders

Peer group meetings are in person or online or a combination of both. Meetings are held monthly all year round and are typically a half day in length. A typical agenda covers:
  • Introduction / updates report by member
  • Educational modules that address the three truths listed above; personal development, professional mastery and how the Catholic faith can inform business decisions.
  • Updates and accountability by member on their stated monthly goals that are defined to reach their flexible annual plans.
  • Mass / Sacrament of Reconciliation when possible
  • The Hot Seat – a single member discusses an issue and asks for help / input from their peers or The Examen – all members offer one thing that is weighing on them at the time of the meeting. 
  • Lunch
  • Open discussion
  • Prayers, intentions and close.
  •  

One on One Coaching

Coaching can be in-person, via the phone, or online. It’s an hour a month between peer group meetings and is dedicated to a specific issue of the member’s choosing. Sometimes those coaching discussions lead to transformational insights and other times coaching is to to talk through a problem to solve or simply to review their current goals, milestones and actions.
