Unless your understanding of money is aligned with reality, you will sabotage your ability to generate financial health, wealth and prosperity. The fact is, the vast majority of people do not have an authentic perception of what money is and how it works. This article addresses the age-old question of why some people – specifically, effective entrepreneurs and investors – create abundant wealth while others struggle to generate money, pay the bills or even put food on the table. By the end, ...

Is your understanding of money congruent with reality?

To date, there have been four stages of the economy, dating back to the time when we lived in caves and relied on nature for all our resources. We are now living in the fourth stage – the digital era – and we have access to almost anything we desire, no matter where we are 24/7. Although we are still digesting the fourth stage of the economy, we are already heading towards the next. The ‘Fifth Wave' of the economy, which is what I call the next stage, is creating a groundswell movement in ...

Are you prepared for the next wave of the economy?

In this article, well-being and effectiveness coach Wayne Stickel explores the experience of people living with disability in being open, truthful and willing to express themselves authentically. More importantly, he ponders the question: how can we become vulnerable enough to be authentic and genuinely comfortable in our own skin?

How vulnerability can free you of the hard shell of living with disability

Lucy Faulconer is an experienced ontological leadership coach with a degree in Psychology and an extensive background in management consulting. In this article, she shares the learning journey and career path she embarked on that led her to go beyond behavioural change and cognitive approaches in psychology to an ontological approach that focuses on who and how we are being.

Why I went from changing people’s behaviour to transforming their ways of Being

There’s a common misconception that the best way to influence another person is to apply a series of techniques or behaviours that will convince them to conform to your way of thinking. While such tools can be effective at influencing others’ behaviour, they often work by manipulation rather than inspiring the other person to embrace your perspective. 

There is another way. This article explores how, when we look at who and how we are being and allow our true self to shine through, the qu...

Why increasing your level of influence takes more than just changing behaviours

Do you perceive vulnerability to be a weakness or a strength? If you answer the former, you are not alone, particularly among men but also among a growing number of women. In this article, John Williams, an experienced ontological leadership coach, explores the relationship between vulnerability and risk-taking. He also exposes some of the lesser-discussed facets of vulnerability that might be playing a role in your life or work, perhaps even without you knowing it.

The critical relationship between vulnerability and how to take risks

As human beings, we all have an ego. In fact, the ego is a natural part of being a healthy functioning individual. But don’t let that fool you into thinking that the ego can’t also be destructive on multiple levels. The truth is we are all at risk of falling victim to its power. In this article, human performance specialist Dr Craig Duncan explains how the negative aspect of the ego can get in the way of a leader’s performance, the signals to look out for, and the key to keeping the ego in...

Is your ego affecting your leadership?

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

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

Every human being must choose how they engage with existence—lead, conform, or control. The Crowd avoids responsibility, seeking comfort in conformity and scapegoating those who challenge them. The Elite manipulates responsibility, engineering narratives to maintain power. The Leader takes responsibility and aligns with reality. Leadership isn’t about titles—it’s about those who hold things together, whether in families, communities, or entire civilisations. Every home has someone who ca...
