"Coaching For Meaning and purpose" - the leading edge of coaching shows the way coaching self and others can reveal an untapped reesource of meaning and purpose. With an introduction by coaching founder Sir John Whitmore, this book has been the basis of Richard's work with The United Nations, the European Union and with individuals world-wide. Says Sir John Whitmore about this book: "Richard's attention to significant detail in the coaching process is refined and even poetic."

In "The Wisdom Process" Richard shows the way to mediate and resolve conflicts. Wisdom integrates the whole person with the whole field of intelligence of a challenge and brings forward long lasting and principle centred resultions to daily personal and global conflicts. Says the head of the Global Fund, Dr. Kingsley Moghalu: "This truly illuminating book is an impressive and essentail read."

"The Seven Steps of Spiritual Intelligence" is, according to bestselling author Dr Stephen Covey "An illuminated insight" into the human potential. It shows that the only real leadership is self leadership and that self leadership requires deep choices about ourselves and our place in the universe.

What is a change?

When people think about change, particularly change in their own life, they tend to brace themselves for some mighty effort: 'I really must change this, I cannot go on in the old way any longer!'

This is because the awareness of the need to change is mostly that something is wrong that needs fixing, sorting out etc. But real change is not like this. Real change begins 'inside' everyday events and actions. I often say that my mission is to spirtualise the everyday - it is inside the daily acts that we make that real change can begin - in small but powerful ways.

Let me give an example that one can easily dismiss but inside the example lies something quite profound. In my work as a coach/trainer I often would take an example like the subject of listening and say 'why, for what purpose do you listen?'

We all listen everyday but for what purpose do we listen? Mostly we listen alert to those things that we might need to latch on to that affect us, our situation, financial matters, our ability to profit from a situation or to have outcomes that we want but there are many other levels of listening beyond this.

Have you ever thought to listen with no expectation of outcome? To try and really listen to the person behind the words, the way they are orchestrating the words with tensions or their struggle or pain or aspirations.

Until you really hear what is speaking rather than identifying with who is speaking it is very difficult to actually respond at any depth to another person.

In this first insight into change what is being said is that change is a response to a new more elevated purpose than before and as you probaly noticed it does not require doing something other than what we normally do but doing something that we normally do from a new level of purpose... more to come.

Welcome everyone!

It was quite special last night to be hosting an international webinar on 'the change coding' with people from 12 countries.

The word 'change' is used these days to describe the change in weather patterns, the change in economic outlook... but what is real change?

We looked at the underlying template for change to see the way in which real change always begins inside our selves and then extends into the world.

The next international conference call will take place on Sunday February 21st at 6:00 GMT (UK time that is) and we look forward to extending the dialogue to people from all nations.

Just write a mail to info@templatesforchange.com and we will send you details of this FREE webinar.
