The history of the adoption of new policies and strategies, of new models of organisation and development, of educational reform agendas, and of new 'knowledge', shows that, by themselves, these things are not helpful. They have not led to the achievement of more creative and dynamic organisations. They have not led to more productive and equitable economies, more sustainable relationships with Nature, or more sane, humane and evolutionary societies. We live in an era of stark and increasing alienation of humankind from ourselves, each other, and the natural world.

Many of the fundamental assumptions which have guided practice in the schooling that most of us have experienced, and in our management of ourselves, others, organisations and the environment, are inadequate or mistaken. For example, the way we conceive, teach and apply knowledge in many disciplines serves to limit our ability to see things freshly, as they are. We tend to assume that having defined things, we know what they are. We do not. Most of us live in a world deadened by mental abstraction. We have commonly understood intelligence to be the ability to comprehend or interpret the world by perceiving and choosing between differences. It is widely seen to be a function of the intellect. This view of intelligence sees us and places us as functioning 'in' the world, but experiencing the self as separate from it.

However, my doctoral research confirmed that it is possible and, more to the point, necessary for human beings to live intimately connected with the world. What I call Deep Intelligence may be understood as our ability to prosper, in the broadest sense, through connectedness with the world. Human intelligence is a function of the combined operation of all our faculties. We need to move beyond notions of a 'knowledge era' and a 'knowledge economy' and to move ourselves into a 'consciousness economy', an Era of Deep Intelligence.

There is nothing inevitable about the ways we have created our lives, our organisations, and the world we live in, and the ways we haven't. Each of us can play a far more conscious and active role in the creation of our individual experience than we commonly assume we can. And we can take far more responsibility for the world we create together. Indeed, it is vital that we do so, if we are to overcome the challenges we have individually and collectively created for ourselves.

The programs and services I offer individuals, groups, businesses and organisations help people to:

  • increase their sense of joy, calm and connectedness
  • increase their awareness
  • manage consciousness in liberating and fulfilling ways
  • remove the filters that limit and distort their perceptions and interpretations of themselves, others, situations and the world
  • explore different ways of seeing, accepting and creating both themselves and the world they live in, here and now
  • awaken their most satisfying, helpful and productive insights, feelings and actions, consciously choose and connect more clearly and strongly with them, and make them real in their experience
  • increase their creativity and psychological flexibility
  • unlock their intuition
  • improve their 'luck'
  • reduce stress and burnout
  • create more satisfying, productive and sustainable relationships.
