Overview - Design - Faculty - Enroll - Next ... More comments and stories from participants ..."I was called a fool because I had great dreams. I was called a trouble maker and complainer because I was not willing to violate my principals. I was laughed at when I wished for a better world, a better Africa. I was told I am naïve to want to change the world. I was called arrogant because I did not want to socialize for the sake of social life. They felt sorry for my parents because I decided to return to Africa to work after having spent time, effort and money on US education… so it was. Coming to GTC and joining the hearts, minds and souls I found there was for me like finding the last oasis in the desert. One that other travelers and caravans pass by because they think it is a hallucination. Yes, for them “it” is a hallucination – it does not exist. Yet that is exactly what it is: An Oasis of possibilities, of good, of opportunities, of challenge, of greatness, of kindness, of brilliance, of humanity, of peace, of strength, of love, of compassion, of cooperation, of techniques, of tools, of growth, of tests, of self and selves, of wholes and parts, of all and nothing at all. This is what GTC is, an Oasis where one can always be no matter where one is on the planet through the love and minds connecting as well as through the online program. It is an Oasis where I come to refresh, to learn and re-learn, to reflect, to grow, to be fully costumed or naked, to just be who I am without shame or pride. I just am. I am so grateful to be part of it. Again, it is still an Oasis of all that and more, but only for the hearts that are ready to believe, ready to stay open, ready to question, ready to be answered, ready not to be answered… It is for hearts that are ready for transformation. I am writing this from my deepest and most sincere self. GTC has touched me so much. It has allowed me to not just change but leap into an incredible space where I am now able to serve my higher calling and serve to the orders of the Great Wisdom, the orders of Spirit, and of the Universe. Working under the Universe, Spirit and the Great Wisdom is an honor and a privilege that I was blessed with after my first session. Personally, I am so touched to levels words cannot translate. I am so touched that I am working on taking it to Africa so that with a wider network going into Africa, we can initiate transformation for the greater good." Yene Assegid "Dana and Joe have a unique talent for developing people. Their insight, patience, trust, and guidance have left an unmistakable impact on both my personal and professional life. I came to them in 1986 with a thick skin, a thick head, and strong desire to learn to be a professional business consultant. The business coach they retained advised them that they were wasting their time on me. I am ever grateful that they saw something in me that was worth investing in, something I couldn’t even see myself. Today I am a CEO of a successful executive coaching and consulting firm with clients ranging from start-ups to fortune 120 CEOs. Personally, I have gone from being a fairly good athlete in 1990, to this year winning my age group in 10 out of 11 races entered, placing as high as second in overall standings at the age of 44. Dana and Joe's support, coaching, and guidance, allowed me to step into a fully expressed full-on, full-out life." Rich Hill
"The two year course offered through Pacific Integral has, in my first year, shifted me out of many arenas of “mental comfort” that I had conveniently settled into… Pacific Integral has been profoundly disturbing; another way of saying that it is profoundly transformative. “Transformation” here implies positive movement, opening and development, and I recognize that in myself. GTC is rigorous… or not, depending on how one chooses to engage with it. The content covered has provided me with new lenses through which to view Reality, and is creating new skills of observation and application in Integral assessment. “Organisational consultant” is who I am becoming (!!) almost in spite of myself. Others saw it in me before I did. In truth, others in the cohort saw me before I did too. Uniquely, the GTC cohort is developing into a dynamic learning community and continues to call us, both individually and as integral aspects of emergence across the planet. What an opportunity! What a joy!" Sally Taylor "I have been in active, individualized consulting for the past 4 years, primarily service chiropractors in Washington, Oregon and California. I began this practice after being in individual practice for about 19 years. I have been involved in GTC for several months. I have had the opportunity to become exposed to new ideas, methods and models which have immediately made me a better consultant in the work I was already doing. It also gave me a larger context to be able to explain what I intended to do for my existing and new clients. There is much depth and richness available in the materials presented, but the immediacy of the information and the large scale and utility are truly impresive. I have a strong criterion for knowing when a piece of information represents
true wisdom: it’s when I think to myself, “If I had only known
that before, then I would have done it differently!” That sensation
is a frequent one at the GTCsessions, and one that I value highly." "I will say this: Joseph, Dana, Geoff and Terri are amazing people with nothing but the best intentions for this world and the people in it. They are bringing extraordinary people together to explore fascinating subjects. That being said, on a personal level, the program's success is really up to you and what you wish to create." Robb Davis "Dana and Joe were instrumental in helping me make a successful change from a 15-year career as a hospital executive to owning and operating my own successful consulting practice, specializing in healthcare. I am most grateful for their helping me to learn to trust myself to think on my feet, to sell and deliver multi-year consulting engagements, and to remain true to myself in the process. I went through major life challenges during my apprenticeship with Joe and Dana. I am deeply grateful for the profound role they both have played in my development as a consultant and a human being." Michelle Campbell "Five years ago, I attended one of the first Consultants Development Programs in Cedarburg, Wisconsin. It was an incredible experience, one which I look back at as a milestone in my own development and awareness, resulting in a breakthrough in my leadership and effectiveness. Moreover, I was stretched and challenged to think beyond myself, and to take on a commitment that my personal experience would translate into something even bigger -- measurable results and sustainable change in my organization. Five years later, I am very pleased to say that we have lived up to that commitment. There are many examples that illustrate this, but the one I'm most proud of is our "Winning at Work" program. This program was developed to bring leadership development to all employees in the organization. We're in our third year, and growing stronger. Through this program, over 250 employees have each experienced 20 hours of learning. The curriculum is revised and enhanced every year to incorporate what we learn, which deepens with every session. The program is now entirely staffed by employees, all trained facilitators and coaches. I hear back from attendees after every session about what a difference this has made for them, both at work and at home. Because of the success of the program, next year we will be developing a second program targeted at management. I can honestly say that we have not only been able to sustain the learning we experienced 5 years ago, but have increased its impact for the whole organization. I encourage anyone who wants to create momentum and energy for themselves and the people they serve to enroll in this remarkable program." Dr. Debra Endean
