What began in 2009 grew into an international community of more than 7,500 graduates across 75+ countries.

Across six continents, people came together in our classrooms to explore coaching, leadership, NLP, somatics and the deeper question that sat underneath much of our work: how do human beings create meaningful and lasting change?

Many of our graduates have gone on to coach, teach, lead, build organizations, develop others and carry this work into their own communities, professions and countries. That is something I will always be deeply proud of.

The Academy’s chapter as an ICF-accredited coach certification and training organization, bringing together leadership development, NLP, somatics and embodied approaches to change,  is complete.

But the work itself is not.

The Conscious Change Method®, which grew through nearly three decades of my work with human change and was developed and refined through the Academy, continues. I am now revisiting that body of work for the world we are living in today.

My own attention is also moving toward a larger question:

What helps human beings adapt wisely in a period of profound technological and societal change?

AI is rapidly changing how we work, learn, lead, create and relate to the world around us. But adaptation is not only a technological challenge. It is a human one.

I’m currently developing The Human Adaptation Project, a global listening and inquiry initiative exploring what happens to identity, meaning, judgment, creativity, relationships, community and human connection as the world changes around us, and what capacities we may need to strengthen in response.

Alongside that work, I continue to work privately with a very small number of people globally who are bringing ideas, businesses, research, leadership, creative work and questions more fully into the world.

There is more to come as these next chapters take shape.

For now, this website remains a home for the history, people, ideas and body of work that grew through ALCN,  and a bridge to what comes next.

Thank you for being part of these 17 years.

With gratitude,
