Why Safety Fails as Meaning and Leadership Collapse

When violence erupts, societies instinctively reach for control. More security. Faster laws. Tighter surveillance. Clear enemies. Decisive action. Yet despite ever-expanding systems of protection, the sense of safety continues to erode. This article explores why.

Rather than treating violence as an isolated act or a failure of enforcement, it examines violence as a symptom of deeper breakdowns in Being, sense-making, meaning-making, and l...

When Violence Surfaces

Nanny Governance, Teenagers, the Illusion of Imposed Integrity and the Quiet Erosion of Legitimacy

This article examines Australia’s decision to restrict teenagers’ access to social media not as a technological or generational issue, but as a symptom of a deeper shift in governance. Framed through the concept of nanny governance, it argues that the policy reflects a broader tendency to substitute coercive control for parental responsibility and developmental guidance.

Rather than treat...

When Care Becomes Control

Power, Righteousness and the Quiet Collapse of Being

We live in an age that prides itself on intelligence, progress, and institutional sophistication. Surrounded by data, frameworks, and expert authority, we reassure ourselves that humanity has finally learned how to organise power responsibly. And yet, beneath the surface, anxiety rises, trust erodes, and social fabric thins. Something essential is missing, though rarely named.

This article approaches that absence indirectly.

Using Tol...

When the Dragon is Certain

Distinguishing Sustainabilism from the Architecture of Systems That Truly Endure

This article examines the crucial difference between systems that merely endure and those that are genuinely sustainable. It reveals how endurance often disguises itself as sustainability and how Sustainabilism, the ideological imitation of sustainability, provides decorative appearances rather than structural integrity. Through clear distinctions, systemic analysis and a dry touch of humour, the piece shows why ...

The Counterfeit of Sustainability

Escaping the Cult of Sustainabilism to Rediscover What Truly Endures

We live in a world obsessed with the word sustainability – yet few can explain what it really means. It’s on every corporate report, political promise and social campaign. But beneath the polished language lies a quieter truth: much of what we call ‘sustainable’ isn’t sustainable at all. And while the word is often confined to environmental concerns, the deeper crisis runs through every layer of human life – the ...

Beyond the Illusion of Sustainability

The Hidden Architecture of Burnout, the Cascade of Absence and Why Presence Still Matters

This article builds upon the foundational insights from The Silent Weight of Leadership: The Grace of Responsibility, the Illusion of Power, and the Betrayal of Conformity, where the archetypes of the Crowd, the Elites, and the Leaders were first distinguished. In that piece, we exposed the existential burden of true leadership, often invisible, unrewarded, and unrelenting.

Now, we go deeper. Not only...

A Phenomenological Deconstruction of False Flags Through the Lens of Systemic Integrity, Sense-Making and Being Framework

This article offers a forensic and ontological investigation into false flags, treating them not merely as geopolitical strategies but as existential distortions that infiltrate organisations, relationships, and individual psychology. By analysing historically verified cases such as the Reichstag Fire, the Lavon Affair, and Operation Himmler, the piece unpacks how false fl...

The False Flag Phenomenon: The Art of Blame, the Theatre of Deception

Transcending Conformity, Dismantling Deception, Exposing the Modalities of Leadership, and Awakening the Dignity and Sovereignty of Our Humanity

In this timeless manifesto, Ashkan Tashvir delivers an uncompromising address to the people of the world, exposing the ethical, ontological, and existential collapse of the global order. With unwavering clarity, he denounces the misleaders who parade as world leaders, revealing their systemic betrayal, psychopathic deceptions, and manufactured narrat...

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

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!

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? Do you sometimes doubt yourself or feel unheard, unseen and undervalued? If so, you’re not alone. Putting on a fake persona in the workplace is more common than many people realise. 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. Many also don’t have an authentic understanding of what it means to be a professional coach. 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?

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

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

Are you a business owner who feels overwhelmed and frustrated because you are constantly putting out fires? Is addressing whatever issue pops up on any given day preventing you from being the proactive, strategic and productive leader you want to be who is working towards achieving a clearly defined set of goals? If so, you are not alone. Anthea Stevanovic explains why this issue is so common and the steps she uses to successfully support her clients to elevate themselves from firefighters to fu...

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. In this article, leadership and confidence coach Helen Robinett explains why any relationship that focuses on getting rather than giving is toxic and how to build authentic, transformative relationsh...
