Lessons from the Forest

Posted by Alan Seale in Untagged 

Alan Seale

I'm sitting in the forest in the south of Holland surrounded by birds and green.  Although it is autumn here, the leaves are still on the trees.  My friend Gabriella offers me her cottage here in the forest whenever I come to Holland.  I am so blessed by her generosity.

This morning I was walking in the forest on one of the many trails and I suddenly realized that I wasn't really there.  My mind was lost in thoughts about the Transformational Presence Coach Training that begins tomorrow an hour north of here.  It will be the first time to offer that training as a five-day residential intensive and I am very excited about that.  Yet in that moment walking in the forest, my mind was already in the days to come.  I wasn't seeing and experiencing the stillness and beauty of the forest at all!

Such a great reminder. Even when my mind was lost in wonderful thoughts, they were still keeping me from experiencing the wonder of my surroundings right now.  And so I brought myself back to the forest--the gentle crackle of dried leaves and pine needles under my feet, the specks of sunlight dancing on the forest floor, the squirrels busy preparing for winter, and the woodpecker pecking away at a dead tree.

In that moment I also realized that, even though I was walking in the forest, as long as my thoughts were somewhere else, I wasn't really benefiting from the deep peace and stillness of my surroundings.  I had to be not only physically present in the forest but also mentally, emotionally, and spiritually present.  As soon as I made that shift, I felt a shift inside.  I was breathing more deeply and more slowly.  My posture straightened up even more.  I was aware of the many scents in the air.  I was able to become one with the forest.  Yet when I drifted away in my thoughts, I was very much an outsider in the forest.

Such a great metaphor for life.  If I want to be an "insider" in life--to be fully engaged in the flow of all that is happening, I have to be fully present there, not someplace else

I'll be away from this forest for the next few days, but I look forward to my next walk there and practicing staying fully present to where I am and all that the forest offers me.

"Showing up" to the bigger work

Posted by Alan Seale in presence , gratitude , gratitude

Alan Seale

It's been a full day. So many things that have happened today have reminded me of the importance of doing this work. By "this work," I don't just mean what we are doing here at the Center for Transformational Presence, but the bigger work being done by transformational leaders and coaches and citizens all over the world. What is important and unique, however, about what we are doing here at the Center is our focus on presence--how you "show up" to what you feel called to do.

Everyone who is a member of this community is here because they want to make a difference. Everyone here has a commitment to leaving the world a better place than they found it, whether that is at the family or community level or globally. There is so much out there about what to do and how to do it but not a lot about how to show up in the most powerfully effective way as you are doing it.

That's what we bring to the table.  I feel very blessed to do the work that I do and blessed to have the opportunity to support so many people in bringing great gifts to their worlds. Each of you are also doing important work. Thank you for that. Thank you for the gifts you share. Thank you for "showing up" to this important work of creating a world that works.

Lost in Bali ~ A Story of Opportunity

Posted by Natalie Snooke in Untagged 

Natalie Snooke

During our first TP group teleclass, I was joining the goup whilst on holiday on the beautiful island of Bali, Indonesia - where things tend to 'happen' in their own time and in their own way.  Such is the Bali-way-of-life.  This led to an interesting experience for me whilst linked to our call (with the telephone malfunctioning, I could hear everyone however no one could hear me).  Here is what I penned to Alan shortly afterwards...hope you enjoy this story of opportunity.


Just touching-base after our call this morning.  I am wondering what the opportunity with the challenge in Asian telecommunications is for me!?  Although you could not hear me, I was fortunate to be able to hear everything on the call and do the activities.  Including a big YES to all of the commitments – I wanted you to know this.  When I tried to un-mute by pressing *6 I kept getting a message to say the conference administrator had muted the call, so I remained muted.  I am sorry I could not participate....In its own way though, it was a very interesting experience for me, sitting listening with the energy of frustration of not being heard and to stay above that story!  I really enjoyed listening to each person and the coaching session with Angela was a really useful demonstration of how you built the bridge from story to choice and opportunity.  Thank you for showing us this. 
Finally, immediately after our call, as I was riding my scooter to my yoga class, along a narrow, winding pathway through the Ubud monkey forest (which literally is a setting that could be out of Lord of the Rings or Avatar!), a rich place of tree roots, undergrowth, moisture and monkeys everywhere, and I was still going through the motions of frustration at not being able to have participated, noticing blaming etc, the monkeys taught me a valuable lesson.... Here they were, some being playful, some resting, some scratching, some alone, some in pairs or groups, just being monkeys.  I could let go of what had occurred and be like a monkey!  Be playful, take it lightly, be in the now, soak up the energy of the forest.  It was really great learning!  The opportunity was to be in the moment and discover all that I could about that journey through the forest.  Then having the opportunity to transfer the energy of frustration into my yoga practice made for an intensely focused, yet light session, for which I am eternally grateful and continually blown away by!

Great Gratitude

Posted by Alan Seale in Transformational Presence Coach Training , transformation , service , gratitude

Alan Seale

Today was the first conference call for a group in the community.  The Transformational Presence Coach Training Graduates came together for the first time and it was an hour of wondrous celebration.  More than one third of the graduates of the program were on the call. That in itself was a beautiful thing. They each shared something of their experiences since completing the program and how this work has impacted their lives and their work in the world. For some, the time since completion of the program has been mostly about a deep personal journey for which the training was a catalyst and foundation.  For others, they have stepped into the world with incredible projects, some even on a global level.  I love that we had the full spectrum represented--from the most personal to the global and everything in between.  This work is needed at every level, for at every level we take further steps in evolving the mass consciousness.

Tonight as I write I am filled with gratitude for getting to do what I do. I often say that I have the best job in the world. I celebrate Transformational Presence work and am grateful that I get to be one of the messengers.

There are many amazing people in this community! I am grateful for the many gifts each is offering to us all!

The Power of Choice

Posted by Alan Seale in Untagged 

Alan Seale

Today was the second session for the new cohort of Transformational Presence Coach Training.  It was very exciting to hear about their partner coaching during the week from the Four Levels of Engagement.  What came through so clearly was the huge energetic shift that both coach and client experienced when the client settled into Choice--not choice of how to fix it or solve their problem or resolve their issue, but rather choice of who they will be in relationship to what is going.  They spoke of empowerment, clarity, confidence, and much more.  

It is amazing what happens when we exercise our power of choice.  We always have choice, even when we think we don't.  No matter what is happening around us, we can choose how we will be in relationship to it.  We can choose who we will be within the situation.  We can choose how we will respond.  And just knowing that we have that choice and exercising that choice can make all the difference.

What does that mean for you?  What difference would it make for you if the first questions you asked in any situation was, "Who do I choose to be here?  What do I choose as my relationship to what is going on?  What is my part in this?  How have I helped create this situation?  What do I choose as my part going forward?"

The power of choice.  Exercise yours today.

New Cohort Begins for Transformational Presence Coach Training

Posted by Alan Seale in Untagged 

Alan Seale

Yesterday was  a very exciting day here at the Center because we launched the September cohort for the Transformational Presence Coach Training.  Both groups are full—10 colleagues in each group plus David Robinson and me—and the energy and excitement was palpable.  There were such great insights from the reading and the work we did in class from all of the colleagues in both groups.

 

This is now the third cohort for this program. I love how each cohort brings new energy and perspective to this work.  Each group experiences the work differently and helps the program evolve to its next level.  So today I feel very grateful for the gift of this work and for all of the coaches who have graduated from the program and are doing this great work in the world. 

 

One by one, we make a difference—a significant difference in creating a world that works.

Alan Seale is a truly a man of deep insight who is living his mission.  He bridges the mundane with the mystical---and does so in totally simple and precise language.  This is a particular gift of his.  The depth of care Alan shows to all with whom he works is truly exemplary of the loving-kindness and service that is the hallmark of his teaching style.

Richard Albert, USA


 

Alan takes coaching to a whole different level.  This experience has been invaluable.  It has brought an entirely different awareness of possibilities into the coaching realm.  His ability to teach and inspire is tremendous, and I am very grateful that I have had the good fortune to be a part of the Transformational Presence Coach training.
—JoAnne Hilliard, Life Coach, USA


 

The Soul Mission retreat simplifies what to many people seems so complicated. Alan has such a beautiful way of embracing what is. He is a powerful facilitator who walks his talk. He takes you on a journey of discovery of what is most important—an investment in love and joy for a lifetime.
—Helle Noerlev, NLP coach, Denmark


 

Transformational Presence Coaching is a powerful process that takes your presence as a skilled coach to being extraordinary and transformational!  This is the next step for all coaches who want to inspire greater consciousness in themselves and in our world. Alan is masterful at making the intangible tangible and easily accessible through clear explanation and powerful tools that can be applied in almost any situation.  He also has a gift in making a teleclass as effective as a live classroom—the best I have experienced.
—Stephanie Marisca, PCC, coach and trainer, USA


 

I first met Alan as my instructor at the International Coach Academy. As soon as I met him, my life was turned upside down and I began to discover the true nature of my work. Alan blew the door open and that began a powerful and profound journey. Alan works with high integrity and focus. The joy he has for life is infectious and his ability to break down very complex ideas into simple tasks will help anyone reach their goals.

—Michelle Lords, Life Design Coach, USA


 

Doing the Transformational Presence Coaching program with Alan has meant a lot to me. It has introduced me to an exciting, completely different way of coaching. This course has given me a method to be much more intuitive, not only in my coaching, but also in my life.
—Rob Hermans, Coach, Windesheim University, The Netherlands


 

Alan transformed our organization by transforming our people.  We've been around for over 100 years, but this development was the most significant and singular in our history.  Alan will take you on a journey back to your spirit and intuition where you will find renewed purpose, passion, and practical guidance to produce the real world results that once eluded you.  Our own 'soul workers' and skeptics, veterans and 'newbies' alike found personal and professional substance and guidance with Alan that has driven, and continues to drive, a complete restructuring and delivery of our not-for-profit business model.  The early results are astounding!
—Steve Brockwell, Vice-President for Marketing, Loyal Christian Benefit Association, USA


 

Alan masterfully teaches how to synthesize spirituality with reality so that there is no longer a perceived distinction between the two. Coaching with Alan has been an amazing journey of self-discovery, growth, enlightenment, and freedom. Alan is genuine, enthusiastic, and exceptionally wise. When he tells you that his soul mission is “to liberate and empower,” believe it, because he truly does!
—Lisa Hanlon Wilhelm, pharmacist, USA


 

A simply incredible coaching course, I'm now 5 months through Alan Seale's 7- month teleclass 'Transformational Presence Coach’ training.  Over the last 5 months Alan has taken our cohort on an amazing journey into the world of energy and intuition.  Do not be fooled by these two words though!  This is a highly practical approach to coaching.  I'd recommend this course to any coach who is looking to go on a really meaningful personal journey so they can support their clients in turn on their meaningful journeys.
Chris Monk, Founder and Director, Values in Business Ltd, United Kingdom


 

I have not yet met anyone who could both teach this material and also coach others to live it.  The combination of skills Alan has—teacher, mentor, leader, spiritual guide, facilitator and coach, to name a few—are rare. I deeply appreciated Alan’s willingness to balance so many different roles and to help each of us move forward in our personal journeys.  Alan’s compassion and insight benefited us all and are a gift to anyone who crosses his path.
—Melissa Nuwaysir, Step Into Your Life Coaching, LLC, USA


 

This workshop is a great way of integrating the "real" world with the energy world we are all made of. Alan truly lives what he talks about. The workshop was so much more and so much deeper than I expected.
—ViviAnn Labba, life coach, Sweden


 

To be coached by Alan Seale is to be guided by my own strength and potential, both in my personal life and in my profession as a coach. Through his coaching, my curiosity and courage have been revealed so that I am able to use them in the best way ever. I can now walk my own path in freedom and love.
—Anna-Lena Smith, coach, Sweden


 

This is a training that not only teaches you to rely on intuition in your coaching, but also teaches you HOW to do that and HOW to take your client to a greater reliance on themselves and their intuition. Alan has a very practical approach to let everyone easily tap into the wisdom of the universe.  The classes are a good mix of theory and practice and also helped me to focus more clearly on my own life and work.
—Jos Rovers, leadership coach, The Netherlands


 

The coaching profession reaches a new standard with Transformational Presence Coaching.  This is the most impactful coaching approach I have ever come across and that I expect to come across in the next decade. The (business) world is in critical need of new leadership and new types of organization characterized by compassion, love and positive relationships. For all you magnificent coaches out there, Transformational Presence Coaching is the way we help them get there.
—Alice Larsen, President, New Day Company, Switzerland


 

Alan has encouraged me to find and follow my path in such a clear and natural way. After each session I have felt such a shift of energy that is nothing less than miraculous. I am prone to “thinking too much", and not listening to the inner big picture, and he has such a natural way of bringing me to a higher level.
—Clare Mooney, real estate developer, USA


 

Never has a workshop gone so deep in my experience. The Soul Mission retreat touched and moved me forward beyond expectations. Alan created such warmth and freedom in the space. I never felt pushed to take a step, yet I took so many steps in what seemed like such a natural way.
—Bercedeh Stark, cross-cultural coach, Switzerland


 

The sacred space created was unbelievably helpful to me—a space in which people could feel free to face and reveal their inner selves without fear of judgment.
—Lance Solaroli, design consultant, USA


 

Alan coached me for more than a year and brought powerful tools to the table. He told me of his soul mission: “I liberate and empower,” and helped me to craft my own. I continue to use this lesson in narrowing down what I really want, down deep, and it helps me cut away the unnecessaries. This has made me more creative and more prosperous. Working with Alan brought more than increased peace of mind, it brought clarity as to how I want to spend my days and, by natural extension, financial benefits. My work with Alan paid for itself. ?He has done the work himself he will ask of you. He understands the challenges involved and will meet you with a combination of compassion and rigor that will help you achieve your deep purpose.
—John W, art dealer and philanthropist, Japan


 

If you would like to experience coaching in a way that you have never experienced before, that is based upon a completely different paradigm than has ever been taught elsewhere, then Transformational Presence Coaching is the course for you.  You will embark on a journey within yourself that perhaps you will not expect.  Be ready for a great ride. If you incorporate all that you learn into your own life and into your coaching practice, you cannot help but to become a Magnificent Coach.
—Krista Bleich, business owner / coach, USA


 

I want to tell you once more how much Transformational Presence Coaching is affecting my life and work and purpose.  I am going through the whole program once more, and every time it becomes richer and deeper. I am immensely grateful to you for being able to integrate and deliver such rich material in such a clear and simple way.  I feel that there is so much potential in this training Alan, I am in awe and at the risk of repeating myself, thank you!
—Claire Molinard, CPCP, France


 

Alan Seale is a gifted, masterful coach and teacher that one so rarely finds in this world today. It has been an honor to work with him. He has helped me to appreciate and experience the limitless power of working with energy and one's own divine guidance. Through my work with Alan my life has expanded and transformed in ways I only dreamed possible. His intelligence, keen intuition, spiritual awareness and knowledge of working with energy creates a space for limitless possibilites to be manifested in one's life. I am so grateful our paths have crossed.
—Diane Petrella, MSW, CPCC, Psychotherapist/Life Coach, USA


 
When I first met Alan, I instantly knew he would be my coach. What I didn’t know was how influential he would be. Initially as a spiritual coach, helping me clarify my intentions, and then as a mentor coach guiding me through coach certification, Alan demonstrated incredible sensitivity. As a guide on my personal journey, Alan has taken me higher than I could ever have imagined.
—Paul G Ward, life coach and hot air balloon pilot, USA

 

I am completely overwhelmed in the most wonderful way. These four days have helped me to take quantum steps in my personal and spiritual development. This was all thanks to Alan's incredible skills of sharing his great wisdom in such a pedagogically "simple" way and his ability to set both a sacred and secure space. I had very high expectations for this workshop and they were all fulfilled.
—Agneta Jonsson, executive coach, Sweden


 

I joked about the name of this workshop—Soul Mission, Life Vision—because it seemed so grand. But it is grand! Thank you for the respect, the space, the caring, that helped the journey to be effortless.
—Kira Charles, attorney, USA


 

Alan is egoless in front of the room. He truly liberates and empowers. There is no dogma. He allows participants to make the work their own. And through that empowerment, we all soar.
—Paul Sherman, Executive and Corporate Coach, USA


 

I was very impressed with the reverence and humility that Alan brings after having led this workshop so many times. Every second was timeless and profound. I met my soul face-to-face. I am in awe. I know who I am for the first time in 56 years. Alan IS the work. When he speaks, you know that he has been everywhere he is asking you to go. He breathes the work and it is as if he is breathing it into each of us.
—Tami Marquardt, teacher, counselor, USA


 

This workshop took my learning to a whole new level—so much deeper and more profound. It is amazing how Alan guided us through the "layers" of ourselves. His knowledge is very deep. I am so grateful for having had this learning experience.
—Eva Lindstedt, life coach, Sweden


 

If there is such a thing as a Live Corporate Angel, Alan is such a partner.  He speaks to my highest truth and my deepest concerns, thus helping me grow both my business and my leadership on the global scene.
—Tine Gaihede, Director, European Leadership, Denmark


 

Having Alan Seale as my mentor coach made all the difference to me and my coaching practice. My coaching became more organic which allowed me to create deeper, truly meaningful connections with my clients much more quickly. He holds such a special coaching space that it is easy to learn and grow personally and professionally. His mentor coaching is instantly accessible and yet keeps unfolding as time goes on. It is not an overstatement to say that working with Alan transformed who I am as a coach and has impacted me for life. Heartfelt thanks to you, Alan.
—Ellie Jacques-Capon, Coach, USA


 

Transformational Presence Coach training is an extraordinary experience.  It is a quantum leap deeper and more effective than traditional coach training. It has robust content yet is not prescriptive.  Alan is astoundingly clear.  The energy field that he holds for us all is powerful and transformative. The links of class to texts and practice is well orchestrated. The learning and interaction among peers is deep and also transformative, inspiring, and practical. Participating in this class each week is a way to regularly access divine inspiration for yourself and your work in the world.  I loved it, grieved when it was over, and miss the rhythm of it in my week.
—Virginia Lee, Coastal Resource Management Coach, USA


 

This is the most powerful and important work I have ever done. The Manifestation Wheel opened and revealed so many truths about my journey in this life. Alan's selfless approach to the work and his unique abilities to channel and bring forth energy open the flow of the Universe. Amazing, amazing, wonderful work.
—Tom from Rhode Island, entrepreneur, USA


 

Brilliant . . . the Soul Mission workshop shines with brilliance! Alan is a master at working with group energy. He is truly one of the masterful teachers on the planet. His transparency and trust in Spirit is exquisite and shines throughout his work. I experienced being seamlessly facilitated into my greatness."
—Janet Wing, therapist, USA


 

Alan created a beautiful safe space to work in and guided us with a sure and steady hand. He used those intuitive gifts of his to create just the right situation at any given moment. I would sit and marvel at how perfectly things fell into place as he navigated through the two days. I felt in highly competent hands and trust him completely.
—Reinette Fournier, yoga instructor, USA


 

On many levels, my work with Alan over the past few years has given me the clarity of vision and strength of conviction necessary to do my best work possible.  His incredible insight and sensitivity has helped me both to uncover my place in the world and to live my best life possible.
—Daniel Karslake, award-winning documentary filmmaker, USA


 

Alan Seale is an incredibly talented teacher/facilitator. I have coordinated hundreds of workshops and met and heard hundreds of speakers. What comes through so clearly is his love of all, his gentle grace and deep wisdom, and his profound ability to call forth magnificence from others.

— Pat Katisch, marketing consultant, USA
