ABOUT THE WELLNESS COMMUNITY-WEST LOS ANGELES
The Wellness Community-West Los Angeles (TWC-WLA) was founded in1982 by Harold Benjamin, Ph.D. and was the first of what has become a national non-profit organization with twenty-two facilities. TWC is dedicated to providing free support, education, and hope to people with cancer and their loved ones.

Through participation in professionally led support groups, educational workshops, and mind/body classes, people affected by cancer learn vital skills that enable them to regain control, reduce isolation and restore hope regardless of the stage of their disease. By sharing with others who are fighting the illness or who have recovered from it, people with cancer gain hope and a renewed will to live. All programs and services are provided at no cost to participants.

ABOUT THE HÉLÈNE CHEZ ARCHIMÈDE SERIES
Hélène Chez Archimède remains one of the most evocative due to its scope and purpose. The folio was commissioned by Ambroise Vollard, the dealer for the Impressionists, who intended to have Picasso illustrate Andre Suares play Hélène Chez Archimède.” Since his Rose Period, the act of making art for Picasso became a way to explore its very nature. With that in mind, one can discover the underlying significance of the 22 woodcut designs for HCA. They were both answers to questions posed earlier, juxtaposing two and three-dimensional forms of expression, and bold statements about the ambiguous visual interpretation of linear drawings. Picasso worked to dissect structure by rendering straight, flat, solid, spherical, elliptical and rough shapes on paper. This explosive quest into the nature of dimension in art is the result of the extraordinary compositions in the HCA series. He employed human figures, chairs, tables, railings, musical instruments and more as his allies of discovery.

To execute the woodcuts properly, Picasso and Vollard agreed to have Georges Aubert, the greatest wood-engraver in France at that time, carve the blocks under the artists close scrutiny. Aubert was entrusted with an earlier project for which he produced the woodcuts for Picasso's illustrations to "Le Chef d'oeuvre inconnu,” perhaps the most celebrated illustrated artists book of the last century. Vollard did not see Hélène Chez Archimède through to its conclusion, and the carved blocks for the project were put into storage. In 1955, the Nouveau Cercle Parisien du Livre, an independent group of Parisian bibliophiles, obtained the woodblocks. With Picasso's consent, they produced a sumptuous livre dartiste in a strictly limited edition of 240 unbound copies, only100 of which went on sale to the public. None of these works were signed.

Bank of Hawaii Uses Advanced Learning Methods from Interaction Associates to Help Achieve Key Strategic Milestones

San Francisco (PRWEB) December 18, 2007 -- The strategic, and highly practical learning methods of Interaction Associates (IA) are credited by leaders at the Bank of Hawaii for aiding the company's successful transformational change - a strategic shift that repositioned the bank in response to market changes.

Bank of Hawaii partnered with Interaction Associates to develop leaders and tap into employees' potential in an internal strategic initiative called "Pathways to Leadership Excellence". The Pathways program was focused on achieving companywide excellence in five areas the bank called "cultural imperatives" and viewed as critical to the success of its new strategy. These imperatives included: becoming results driven; acting accountably; communicating openly and honestly; embracing change; and achieving teamwork excellence. The cultural imperatives posed a central challenge to company leadership: How could the bank develop leadership qualities and skills that would support and drive the cultural imperatives companywide?

"We turned to Interaction Associates because IA's workshops are very practical and the skills taught linked easily to our cultural imperatives," said Therese Dickerson, Vice President of human resources at Bank of Hawaii. "Interaction Associates involvement in Pathways to Leadership Excellence is helping us increase our management capability and reducing turnover – thus contributing to our ability to grow," added Dickerson.

Using its trademark facilitative approach, IA's advanced learning methods were targeted at the bank's supervisor and manager ranks and focused on developing core skills in a suite of innovative workshops, including Managing with Impact®, Essentials of Coaching, Teams in Action®, and Facilitative Leadership®. "We also developed key change leadership skills in two specific employee groups with two custom workshops," said Jamie Harris, Senior Consultant at IA. "The two groups included managers responsible for cross-functional change projects, and front-line supervisors who manage teams and workgroups required to implement change initiatives," added Harris.

The results for Bank of Hawaii are seen in employees' ready application of skills and behaviors on the job after participating in IA learning workshops. "The most important behaviors we see people taking back to work from the IA workshops are increasing clarity and involvement of others in decision making, focusing on results in meetings, and celebrating the accomplishment of others," added Dickerson.

More information on IA's work for Bank of Hawaii is available in a detailed case study at: http://interactionassociates.com/services/cs_bankofhawaii.html
