Generating Transformative Change

Transformation, as Ken Wilber often points out, is a mystery. Sure, we've done a pretty good job of measuring transformation and tracking all the various dimensions, vectors, and stages of human potential—but whenever someone inevitably asks "how do we get people to transform?", we are typically left scratching our heads. Which means that whenever we say something like "enlightenment is an accident, and practice makes you more accident-prone," we aren't trying to be clever or cryptic. More than anything, we are confessing our own humility in the face of one of life's most perplexing mysteries.

This is why whenever someone discovers a recipe for real and measurable transformation, we tend to take notice. As it happens, our friends at Pacific Integral seem to have done exactly that. Listen as Geoff, Terri, and Venita talk with Ken Wilber about Generating Transformative Change, a powerful and innovative approach to leadership training. The GTC program draws explicitly from the work of Ken Wilber, Susanne Cook-Greuter, and many other integral pioneers, and represents yet another exciting example of the integral project making a real impact upon the world, helping today's leaders rise to the challenges of the 21st century.
