Did you know that people are beginning to say that we are living in the age of anxiety? As a coach and teacher, this doesn’t surprise me. I have the opportunity to hear people express daily the level of anxiety they are living with. The speed of change is so intense that people can’t keep up with it. Everything we used to depend on, all our traditional support systems, are falling away.

More people are on medication that we can imagine, because a lot of people don’t talk about it. They feel ashamed, helpless, without power.

The way that I work with people initiates them into a process of deep change, or what is sometimes called ‘second order learning.’ This kind of learning is what we really need in our world right now. Traditional forms of learning just give you more information. But information is not going to do the trick at this point, because the information itself keeps changing and becoming obsolete.

We need to discover a way of learning that connects us with our being, the core of who we are.  When we can access that place, things really start to turn around for us. Then we are no longer taking knowledge and information from the outside, and imposing it on ourselves. Instead, we are actually opening to the genuine wisdom that lives inside us, and engaging in a real process of transformation. In the short run, it’s a lot more challenging. In the long run, it’s the only thing that’s really sustainable.

I give classes, retreats and personal coaching sessions on this kind of learning.
