FINANCIAL LITERACY
Our financial literacy programs emphasize the importance of simultaneous learning and practicing, using examples and situational awareness that direct4ly relate to life objectives. In personal ikishops, this involves the importance of budgeting, saving/spending behavior, long and short-term planning, and the most basic aspects of mortgages, banking, legal agreements that affect financials, and even such topics as using small claims courts for restitution.
Regarding business and entrepreneurship, we maintain the most unique and practical approach to understanding the basics of credits and debits, why profit planning is important and how to keep it simple, and understanding balance sheets, income statements, and cash flow. We make the most complicated topics simple, even for those who dislike math and numbers, and extend that to taxation and other financial issues that impact entrepreneurs and intrapreneurs (W-2 employees seeking to advance their careers).
Our entrepreneurial Ikishops are all founded on the most modern and advanced approaches to Lean Startup methods, and show the most direct financial approach to arriving at your MVP (minimum viable product) with the least amount of time and investment. WIthout financials as a metric of determining the customer value of your products and services, you don't have a "real" business that can actually sustain you chosen lifestyle. We show how to use this knowledge to turn a "hobby" business into a "real" business.

HUMAN SYSTEMICS
All human interactions are transactional. Systems calculate the sum of all human transactions, creating either healthy growth or conflict and violence. As the underlying system dynamics render the trillions of feedback loops in these interactions between humans and their environments, Human Systemics gives us a microscope into true root causes of conflicts and/or healthy outcomes and shows us how to "sys-tainably" correct dysfunction and ensure healthier outcomes.
With every Ikishop experience, our clients get the benefit of the unique and practical "science of common sense", methodology, and techniques behind Human Systemics. These are key to discovering what drives us apart and what can bring us back together.
Systemic ethics is a much-needed rigorous re-definition of ethics (ought-ness) and morality (do-ness). This re-framing of human norms and imperatives brings ethics up to date to match the rapid growth of technology, media, law, and psychology, all of which have outstripped the ability of purely traditional ethics to keep up with modern attacks on what it means to live a moral human life.

MEDIATION & LEGAL
Human behaviors hard-wired into the way we interact with friends and strangers are the drivers behind both peace and war. Understanding those dynamics and how to systemically address better modes of thought and action is key to delivering on the desire for a better world. This section is the Human Systemics key to making the everyday choice between a harmonious future for humans or the very real possibility of ending it completely.
As Certified Preventive Mediators (CPM) and Human Systemics Masters (CHSM), we combine the professional elements of mediation with system dynamics to bring deeper and more sustainable outcomes for both disputing parties or healthy partnerships.

PARENTING & CHILD DEVELOPMENT
The infants of today are the adults of tomorrow. The influences they are surrounded with as they progress from womb to early competency drives the future of society in very predictable ways, hence the moniker "time travelers". Our Ikishops and Ikisessions promote systemically-healthy parenting and child development, and identify and correct anti-social behaviors that can breed dysfunctional adults and the potential for criminal behavior. We give children and parents, and by extension friends and family, schools, and religious institutions, the scientific yet practical means of increasing future success of children as they evolve into adults. We explain the importance of recent psychological studies on child development and their synergy with traditional forms and norms of upbringing.
In the Iki process, side benefits occur for both parents and children as they face the difficult pre-teen and teenage stresses driven by puberty, hormones, and an increasingly complex society. We take long-proven approaches from parenting experts such as Alfred Adler and integrate modern Game Theory and System Dynamics techniques to create game-based learning vehicles that turn otherwise stressful parenting into a fun, rewarding, and practical set of interactive learning games. This delivers a uniquely effective results-based program with sustainable outcomes for both parents and children.

RELATIONSHIPS & NEGOTIATION
Our Ikishops and Ikisessions start with identifying the desired objectives of the parties to a relationship. Once the type of relationship is identified, we proceed to the length and depth desired. We then apply our system dynamics models to identify strong and weak points in the relationship potential. This technique gives unique insight into both synergy and gaps, to better understand how to increase synergy and fill in the gaps. Our empathy-building methods involve practice and learning, founded on the underlying psychological and emotional drivers of inter-cultural differences.

SELF AND IDENTITY
Ikishops, for both personal dysfunction and life enhancement, illuminate the inner self and its relation to the external environment, using key concepts from Human Systemics. Our methods address the root causes of many types of dysfunction, such as depression, PTSD, phobias, self-hate, narcissism, passive-aggressive behavior, etc. In our practice, we've been able to solve things as disparate as stuttering,,bullying, and self-harm.
System dynamics is able to peek under the surface of behavioral elements to identify both positive and negative potentials within you. With this self-knowing, real progress can be made in building empathy, better communications, and self-esteem and coping personas, thus reducing outcomes of humiliation, conflict, and personal anxiety. This process is founded on the principles of Meta-Fitness, which claims that the physical, mental, and spiritual elements of self are intertwined and thus an integrated whole. When a gap exists between any of these elements, it causes systemic breakdown in the expression of self. Such gaps are identified and restored to a healthy level in the Iki programs.
We are certified in Preventive Mediation (CPM) and Human Systemics Methodology (CHSM), which addresses many common ailments as well as its ability to discover hidden talents. We stay in our lane, such that if a client demonstrates clinical levels of dysfunction, we have clinical psychologists and social workers to step in if appropriate and authorized.

SOCIO-CULTURAL POLICY
In our Ikishops and Ikisessions, we expose the underlying causes of agendas, why all systemic solutions must be multi-variate, and how to mediate the most tangled communications and assumptions of various social echo chambers. The vast majority of deadly outcomes throughout history have come at the hands of bad policy formed and enforced by entitled elites. These policies are most often produced by the best and brightest, and accepted by common people due to intimidation or expert fallacy, thus creating the toxic irony of massively stupid policy produced by otherwise smart people. Through the methods of Human SystemicsTM, we explore and explain the source of this irony, and show how we can oppose and even eliminate it, as we gain insight into the dynamics and roles that must be changed to achieve real "sys-tainable" improvements in outcomes for people.
Socio-systemics covers those issues common to all societies, from cultural and ethnic imperatives, to racism, governance, echo chambers, protest movements, power dynamics, entitled elites, and the big issue of otherization.

TEAM-BUILDING AND LEADERSHIP
Team-building is the most fundamental aspect of successful leadership. Our Ikishops and Ikisessions approach this topic from both a bottom-up and top-down approach. That means we customize programs to train managers, executives, or aspiring leaders at any level big or small, on how to build teams through systemic game-playing, empathy training, communications theory, and risk assessment, using concepts such as Game Theory and System Dynamics.
Fundamental to our approach are concepts proven through research as contributing to success in business or institutional leadership. Such books as Good to Great by Collins, Tribal Leadership by Logan and King, Career Warfare by D'Alessandro, and Peter Senge's Fifth Discipline are important contributors to systemically-sound leadership and self-motivating teams.
Our approach can be effectively applied to sports coaching, corporations, non-profits, religious institutions, government agencies and even small business owners.

TECHNOLOGY AND MEDIA LITERACY
Technology is a systemic amplifier of all human thought and action. As such, understanding what is "real" versus what is over-hyped is critical for people of every walk of life. All technologies embed elements of goodness and evil, so the decision on which technologies to pursue and apply to daily life must not be held only in the hands of a tiny group of controlling elites. Here, we assess and discuss the current and future dangers of technology and how we must deal with its effects in a humanly-systainable manner.
In dealing with technology and media, whether for personal, group, or institutional advancement, we seek "better truths". Systemically, the meaning of "better truths" is the recognition of correct patterns in complex systems, finding best sources, using scientific method and critical thinking, proving theories of behavior, and measuring opportunities and outcomes for common people. The outcome of this process is a more accurate placement of your role within the techno-media sphere, and thus a much more successful approach for our clients.
