Who Are We
Raison d’ Ętre International
® is
our organizational name. It suggests a personal philosophical
inquiry toward creating meaning in one's work or profession. We also
wanted the name to reflect something fresh... words for which most people would
have no previous, distracting associations. We wanted words around which
each person could create their own personal vision and interpretation.
In personae, we are Carol Manning and
Frederic Mummert.
We bring forward experience from having worked
for, and as consultants to, individuals and organizations including start-up,
emerging, and large scale businesses, focusing on the following general areas:
sales development, sales, and coaching on a consultative
style of selling;
marketing, market analysis and strategic
planning;
organizational restructuring;
constructive human resource balancing and
skills redeployment;
human resource development and growth;
product development and preservation of
intellectual property interests;
creating and sustaining alliances;
education and training for using creative
tools for conducting meetings and for cooperative decision-making;
conflict resolution through non-destructive
solutioning;
personal consulting and coaching on Inquiries
for Wisdom & Action.
The nature of our work with individuals and
companies tends to be individualized, and often very personal. We honor
those confidences. We will offer to network previous clients with
individuals and organizations who are genuinely aspiring to become Partners
of Choice™ when there is mutual interest from all.
You may begin with us... contact us and
explore whether this journey feels appropriate for you... and whether initially
we might qualify as one of your Partners of Choice™.
