„I have never seen any life transformation that didn’t begin with the person in question finally getting tired of their own bullshit.“ Elizabeth Gilbert
Transformation processes can range from simply changing a habit to changing personal realities or shifting paradigms. The journey of transformation is a universal, archetypal shift from one reality to another — some deconstruction of old assumptions and viewpoints before a new reality can emerge.
One of the main problems people face is that the underlying mechanisms of transformative change are neither understood nor mastered.
We offer the how-to for shifts of this kind, whether small or large-scale. In our workshops, courses, and coaching, we lead participants through their own transformative journey.
In the training, participants learn how change works, and how their own psychological mechanisms kick in to resist it (‘immunity to change’). They learn the skills to dissolve limitations, recurring patterns, and inner conflicts. The approach guides participants further along an experiential, practical path toward profound change in their lives — insights that apply directly to both personal and professional transformation. In the end, the release of bottled-up tension, accumulated complication, and personal baggage allows for relief, integration, lightness, and fun.
The methods, exercises, and practices presented here are geared toward a shift in being and meaning-making. These processes can be seen through the lens of Robert Kegan’s Immunity to Change work but tend to be more efficent and practical. Theory references can be given at any point in the process; theoretical knowledge, however, isn’t required. The courses we offer are thoroughly experiential and practical.
Our favourite approaches are:
- One-on-one personal coaching, in-house, face to face or via Zoom, as a package or as coaching impulses
- Tailored assessments of personal capacities in terms of complexity thinking (LDMA, Lectical Decision-making Assessment), communication style (PCM), with debriefs and coaching as a package
- Training modules for improving self-leadership for leaders, change professionals, and coaches
- Complete personal transformation cycles in two connected five-day residential retreats: participants take a deep, undisturbed dive into their self-system and learn to identify hidden sabotage patterns and blockages. They train skills that let them dissolve ‘shadow materials’ or destructive habits and recreate new, empowering ones from a much wider choice and clarity. This training is designed to help people make the personal and professional changes that matter most to them, and requires uninterrupted time away from home and the willingness to take a closer look inside.
