I Have a Dream, And ‘You’ Shall No Longer Stand in Its Way

How Leadership Psychosis, Collective Being Dysfunctions, and Infected Rationality Have Made Israel Its Own Greatest Existential Threat — Driving It Toward Systemic Disintegration

This article delivers a forensic and dissective ontological diagnosis of Israel’s accelerating systemic collapse. It is not a political argument, ideological statement or partisan commentary. Rooted in Ashkan Tashvir’s extensive philosophical body of work, including the Being Framework, the Metacontent Discours...

ISRAEL: The Ontological Collapse of a State Consumed by Its Own Shadows

How Authenticity Grounds Congruence—and Why Credibility Emerges Not from Image, but from Epistemic and Existential Alignment

This article reclaims authenticity from the content-driven theatrics of emotional exposure and curated self-expression, restoring it as a rigorous ontological quality: your relationship with reality.

Drawing on the Being Framework, it reframes authenticity not as a performative trait but as a disciplined mode of Being—shaped by epistemic rigour, perceptual accura...

Authenticity as Your Relationship with Reality: The Hidden Architecture Behind Credibility and Congruence

A system designed to delay, deny, and defer—until dignity becomes a luxury and urgency a liability.

This piece is not merely about medicine. It is about the architecture of dysfunction: the systems we create, the values we betray, and the staggering absence of integrity that turns care into theatre and urgency into protocol.

It begins with two contrasting encounters. One involves a child in crisis. The other, a pet dog. Through biting clarity and unsettling familiarity, the article shows...

Your Dog Gets Better Emergency Care Than Your Child

Rethinking Doubt, Certainty, Intuition, Faith and Integrity in an Age Addicted to Epistemic Performance

In an age intoxicated with ambiguity and performative humility, The Confidence to Stand Still in a Storm confronts the modern myth that doubt is a virtue and certainty is a vice. With clarity, irony, and philosophical depth, this article dismantles the epidemic of compulsive hesitation and proposes a richer, more integrated alternative: ontological discernment.
Drawing from the Being Frame...

The Confidence to Stand Still in a Storm

Why That’s the Most Philosophical Thing You Can Say—Bless Your Heart

This article takes aim at a familiar line often heard in moments of stress or complexity: “I don’t want the philosophical response.” With a blend of wit, irony, and sharp insight, it argues that this phrase is not a refusal of philosophy but a performance of it. The very act of rejecting philosophy is itself a philosophical stance, usually an unconscious and poorly constructed one.

Through satire and structured ...

I Don’t Want the Philosophical Answer!

How Coaches, Thinkers and Catalysts Perform Integrity While Quietly Longing to Be Real

The Inauthenticities of the Authentic is a playful yet piercing reckoning for coaches, thinkers, facilitators, and anyone committed to living—and leading—with integrity. It explores the ironic ways authenticity itself becomes a performance, especially for those who build frameworks, hold space for others, or carry the quiet burden of rare insight.

Through five subtly revealing masks—Hyper-Coherence...

The Subtle Masks of the Sincere: The Inauthenticities of the Authentic

Why Refusing to Fit In Isn’t a Branding Strategy—It’s a Stand for Authentic Identity and Ontological Integrity

In a world obsessed with clarity, branding, and instant categorisation, those who refuse to fit neatly into a label often find themselves misunderstood, misread, or ignored. This article explores the rare and rebellious virtue of being dangerously hard to label, not as a strategy, but as a natural consequence of living with integrity, depth, and ontological coherence.

It unp...

The Virtue of Being Dangerously Hard to Label

How the Boldness of Bad Faith Distorts Reality, Manufactures Credibility and Performs Sympathy for the Suffering It Created—Disguised as a Commitment to Sustainability

This article exposes the anatomy of audacity not as charisma or courage, but as a structural weapon and gall systematised into theatre. When dominant powers manufacture crises, impose sanctions, destabilise nations, and then perform moral superiority or staged sympathy, what we are witnessing is not hypocrisy. It is ontologic...

The Ontology of Audacity When Gall Becomes the Language of Control

When Good Intentions Turn Sour: Unpacking the Ontological Cost of Entitlement, Regret, Misplaced ‘Kindness’ and the Existential Spiral of Victimhood, Misaligned Reciprocity and Self-Sabotage

This in-depth article explores the paradoxical reality that humility, generosity, and magnanimity—qualities often revered as moral ideals—can backfire when projected without discernment, clarity, or ontological maturity. Using the Being Framework and the Nested Theory of Sense-Making, it exposes h...

When Humility, Generosity and Magnanimity Backfire: The Paradox of Giving and the Emergence of Entitlement

Unveiling the Metacontent Discourse, the Nested Theory of Sense-Making, and the Being Framework—together forming the CCC Model (Content, Clarity, Conduct)—for Leadership, Performance and Ontological Mastery

In a world flooded with content—things, beings, strategies, ideas, tools, text, speech, and solutions—why do so many leaders, professionals, and well-intentioned individuals still feel stuck, misunderstood, or ineffective?

This article exposes the root cause: it's not a lack of ...

From Content to Clarity to Conduct: Leveraging The Hidden Architecture Of Sense-making Toward Effectiveness

How Modern Minds Collapse Meaning, Weaponise Syntax, and Lose the Plot Entirely

In a culture obsessed with soundbites and allergic to nuance, we’ve mastered the art of misinterpretation. This provocative essay exposes the ontological roots of prejudice, not as a moral flaw but as a systemic failure of human sense-making and meaning-making. Through the lens of the Metacontent Discourse and the Nested Theory of Sense-Making, Ashkan Tashvir dismantles how we judge entire beings based on fragme...

Prejudice of Perception, You Heard a Word, Not the World: The Ontology of Prejudice in an Age of Outrage

As an emerging leader with aspirations to climb the corporate ladder or transition to a more fulfilling career, do you believe you have to pretend to be someone you’re not to be accepted?

However, there are significant costs in doing so. In this article, Jeanette Mundy explains why the adage that you have to ‘f...

Sick of changing who you are to fit in?

As a sales leader, be it an individual sales director, account manager, business development professional or sales manager, you are constantly interacting with and leading people, whether they are reporting to you or indirectly supporting you to win your next deal for the company. Empowering clients and supporting them with solutions to their problems always comes back to interpersonal relationships. And we all know what every relationship needs: trust. The question is, how can you build trust r...

Building trust in the sales relationship

Stepping into an account management or sales leadership role can be challenging, especially if your sales deals can take 12–24 months or longer to secure. Complexities show up throughout the purchasing cycle, from qualifying a new opportunity, engaging clients with presentations and sharing your solution’s capabilities to producing, presenting and negotiating a project contract to implement the solution. As a sales leader, how can you remain effective throughout such a lengthy process, espec...

4 factors that contributed to winning large & complex sales deals

You need to work on your business, not in your business. As a business owner, you’ve probably heard this line multiple times, be it from business advisors or well-meaning people trying to help. But does the thought of delegating some of the operational tasks you currently do yourself to make your business a success seem too far from your reach? In this article, business consultant Anthea Stevanovic reveals seven steps to gradually remove yourself from your business' operational functions and e...

Get yourself out of your business' operations: The 7 steps

When we are at the receiving end of obstacles and unexpected detours, it’s easy to get stuck in the trap of victimhood. If you manage a team with members who are constantly locked in complaint mode and find it difficult to turn the situation around, team morale can be impacted, slowing productivity. In this article, Jacqueline Hofste, an ontological leadership coach with a background in senior leadership roles in the corporate environment and archetypal consulting, explains how and what we can...

Is your team stuck in Victimhood mentality

It's easy to feel isolated, different, alone and excluded when dealing with a disbaility that impacts you 24/7. While some disabilities are visible because they are obvious, there are a vast number of hidden or invisible conditions that affect people's daily lives just as significantly. Many people choose to keep their hidden disability a secret, often not realising the toll that decision can take until things start spiralling out of control. In this article, Wayne Stickel, a wellbeing and effec...

The role of a community in supporting people with hidden disabilities to flourish

Many people like the idea of becoming a coach and dive in without considering why they want to pursue professional coaching and what it takes to create a successful coaching business.

As General Manager of the Being Profile®, Lucy Faulconer leads a global community of coaches and has the opportunity to hear the stories behind why they chose to become a coach. In this article, she shares some of those ...

Are you thinking of becoming a coach?

It is natural to want to understand why you are the way you are. But once you have that insight, what can you do about it if you discover areas that aren’t serving you? Traditional theories and approaches suggest that you learn how to manage your fixed traits or set short-term action plans to change certain habits or behaviours. In this article, Lucy Faulconer, General Manager – Being Profile®, a leadership coach and an organisational psychologist, reveals how she and many other coaches, le...

How the Being Profile facilitates our ability to transform

Modern society has provided an opportunity to redefine the traditional male and female roles that have been passed down from father to son and mother to daughter for millennia. However, rather than treat each other as humans and appoint the best person for the job, we seem to be caught up in the need to balance the power between the sexes, for example, by electing women just because there are too many men at the top. In this article, John Williams discusses why healthy masculinity is no threat t...

Why healthy masculinity is no threat to feminine empowerment, and “real men” are not afraid of women having power

Are you a business owner who feels overwhelmed and frustrated because you are constantly putting out fires?

Are you a firefighter or a business owner?

Being part of a sales organisation as a key account, customer engagement, or customer success manager can be challenging. It requires you to balance organisational, client and partner interests while constantly looking out for opportunities to solve problems for clients and secure the next deal to grow company revenue. One key challenge is identifying where to spend the most time and effort. Another is to determine for which of your customer’s problems your organisation’s solution is a match...

How to deal with running out of time as a sales leader

Most of us know somebody who is transactional in their relationships with others, whether it be someone at work, at home or in our social circle. It might even be you. Some might argue that being transactional is the only way to meet targets at work or protect yourself from being taken advantage of.
