Transformational Presence means a great deal to me. It helps me to stay firmly grounded, no matter what happens. Making difficult decisions has become easier because I am now able to quickly gain clarity with regard to what really is going on. I allow more space for things to unfold instead of forcing things. I find it easier to accept myself as I am, both my good sides and my lesser good sides. And, I have found a strong inner drive and motivation, which has replaced my being driven by external factors. I experience Transformational Presence as a great gift.

Being introduced to Transformational Presence felt like coming home to me. It brought me back in touch with my intuition and taught me to trust it. I also discovered my authentic self and I now consciously show up more fully as a leader. You do not have to be a coach to bring about transformations within yourself and in the people around you when applying the simple and very practical tools. If you are open to enriching your life, and to taking the journey of discovering your true potential, then I highly recommend the Transformational Presence Leadership & Coaching (TPLC) program.

It cuts to the core, allowing you to work with the essence of what is present, instead of on solutions that only temporarily work. From that core it is possible to sense what is really going on and to act from there. And it starts with you, how you relate to the issue and whether you are completely 'present'. If you have the courage to acknowledge what you stand for and the courage to accept the consequences, then a great deal is possible. It is a matter of allowing yourself to be amazed by what there is, openheartedly and with some guts.
From the first time I came into contact with Alan Seale and the Transformational Presence work 8 years ago, I have been applying it every day. For myself: For focus and maintenance, and for the people around me for inspiration and transformation. As a result, my work and team have grown, gained extra depth, and at the same time peace of mind.

Transformational Presence appeals to me because:
Transformational Presence has also become a very rich way of life for me, in which I am at the service of what is being asked of me, from a loving state of 'being'. I approach things that arise from the perspective of the opportunities that are present, I am much less concerned with the barriers that appear on my way and with what is not going well, I see people in their potential and I flow with what is presented to me. And I also use this approach with the clients and organizations I work with, knowing that I can really touch people deeply so that they start acting from their fullest and richest of capabilities. For me it is very important that Transformational Presence is not vague or 'woolly'. The results you get with this approach are always very concrete, complete and highly applicable. And the approach is extremely applicable in today's complex society, in which you have to be tuned into and able to move with your environment in order to create a lasting impact. In short Transformational Presence has been enormously enriching for me, both in my personal and in my professional life.

Transformational Presence offers profound, and at the same time simple, tools and frameworks that make it possible to work with opportunities and new possibilities in all settings and circumstances. To me, this is also the strength of the approach: Quickly cutting to the essence of a situation, question or problem, making it possible to immediately tap into the potential and from there, take concrete steps. Transformational Presence starts with what is close by and what I can influence: It starts with me. I have learned to work consciously with all my intelligences, which gives me easy access to a huge field of information. This makes it easier for me to be a transformational presence, in every setting and in every circumstance. In this approach, BEING and DOING really come together and that makes it extremely powerful and different from all other approaches!

The little Prince of Saint-Exupéry tells us "L'essentiel est invisible pour les yeux," or "that which is essential can only be seen with your heart." Transformational Presence opens our eyes to the essential and makes it possible to arrive at new insights and unexpected solutions together. In organizations, and in my case in health care, I am able to contribute through Transformational Presence to the changes that employees and clients so long for. Partly by using the tools with employees and managers in the development of their (personal) leadership, team coaching and individual coaching. And more often because I have become better able to subtly perceive that which is asking for attention in the undercurrent of a situation and that which is required to allow the hidden potential in a circumstance to open up little by little. Transformational Presence brings the realization that 'doing more' does not lead to 'being better'. People discover that by doing less, and being more themselves, they are able to contribute more to someone else (the customer!) to each other and to the organization. And that is what it is ultimately all about: Being and remaining a purposeful organization.

Transformational Presence leads people and organizations to the essence of who they are, what they are capable of, where they stand and what is being asked of them. By working with the power of people and organization, the steps to be taken become clear and irreversible. Because new insights are arrived at not only by applying the intellect but by using all of our senses, they are anchored both in the individual and in the DNA of the organization.
Transformational Presence works from the here and now and from the premise that it is all information and therefore all OK. There is no judgement. Working in the present with great curiosity about which possibilities there may be, is truly inspiring and renewing.
My own company Dao2Change exists thanks to the work of Alan Seale and The Center of Transformational Presence. Dao2Change was founded in 2016 and uses nature as a metaphor for what is trying to get our attention. Dao2Change's vision is to introduce as many people and organizations as possible to the power of Transformational Presence's work.
