Core Being
Rooted in our core power, we find the place within where our natural brilliance resides. More than a destination, this is a way of being.
When we’re in the zone, we know we’re home. We might say we’re being our natural self, authentic self, or true self.
Our essence is powerful and genuine. We intrinsically feel good.
We can access rich resources, such as: Heightened creativity. Insightful intelligence.Love. Increased vitality. Peace & Serenity. Joy.

The Ego Delusion
Yet, sometimes we forget. We lose connection with aspects of our deeper authenticity — often due to past events or social conditioning, and mostly through no fault of our own.
We can download programmes from our family or culture and absorb external patterns because it’s how we think we “should” be, even when our authentic truth says otherwise.
In time, this creates a false sense of self.
The disconnect feels painful, leaving us vulnerable. We may try to shield ourselves with distorted feelings of inadequacy or superiority, colouring our perceptions.
All this influences each of us differently and typically disrupts our work, relationships, finances or health. It may also appear as a general discontent.

It takes a lot of energy to mask our authenticity and this means we can’t perform at our best. We may feel burned out or overwhelmed. And if we try to numb all the discomfort we may veer into addiction.
Each of us experiences troubled states, to some extent, as this is part of our human condition — linked to our survival instincts and shaped by our biological and social evolution.

Embracing Transformation
Conditioned Self
Identified with our conditioning, we may be overly:
Reactive: Triggered by external events, we feel out of control and behave impulsively.
Frustrated: We feel dissatisfied and unfulfilled as our actions don’t match our authentic values.
Rigid: Clinging to limiting or destructive behaviours and beliefs, we feel stuck and unable to move forward.
Resistant: We stubbornly resist desirable change. We may know what to do but we don’t do it.
Stressed: Struggling with internal conflicts and external pressures, we feel overwhelmed and exhausted.
Influenced: We depend on outer conditions for our inner sense of self-worth and well-being.
Resentful: When we live this way, we build up resentment.
Conflicted: We regularly find ourselves in conflict with ourselves and others.
Life can feel relentless — we may lose our joy and judge our considerable achievement as ‘not enough’. We can spiral into cycles of shame and false pride. We might feel like imposters. Perhaps we procrastinate, feel fearful, or we’re too critical of ourselves or others.
Whole Being
Centred, we tend to be:
Responsive: We choose how we show up. We act with intention, intelligence and insight.
Fulfilled: Aligned with our deeper values, our actions bring a sense of satisfaction and purpose.
Dynamic: Fully resourced, we are adaptable and we develop a visionary mindset.
Open: We embrace change with openness and curiosity; we evolve with more ease.
Resilient: Consciously navigating internal and external pressures, we maintain our clarity and vitality.
Empowered: When we know who we are at our core, we are naturally empowered.
Joyful: We experience our natural joie de vivre.
Content: We find a sense of unity, oneness, wholeness; general well-being, both within ourselves and towards others.
We rediscover the beauty — even when life’s circumstances are challenging. We give up perfectionism and enjoy the journey. We appreciate our achievements and continue to grow to the next level. We genuinely feel good. We still experience healthy fear and criticism – they can be useful allies.
We experience gentle and powerful transformation when we accept all of ourselves.
Rather than labelling some aspects right or wrong, good or bad, and rejecting parts of ourselves, we embrace our whole being.
Then we are free to choose.

Self-Evolution
For the first time in human history, thanks also to our biological and social development, we have the capability and understanding to consciously guide our own evolution.
Advances in science and technology have shown us how our modern brain has the plasticity to form new neural connections. We can transcend old conditioning, decode outdated programmes and rewire our neurology.
Our meta-power — our ability to think about our thinking and change it — is a superpower. In this respect, we are the most advanced creatures in our known universe.
Remarkably, few of us fully utilise this awesome skill.

Radical Flexibility
Choose the optimal approach in any given situation to achieve your desired outcome.
Focusing your energy, you can enter states of flow, heightening your creative productivity.
At other times, strategic thinking or careful analysis is more effective.
The skill of being dynamic applies across all your resources, not just your modes of thought.

This empowers you to support the growth of others, as you better understand their needs.
You naturally develop greater compassion.
Authentic Presence
Aligning with your authenticity, you exude a powerful yet peaceful presence, increasing your impact and influence.
You build trust and form more meaningful and lasting connections,whether one-to-one, one-to-millions,as well as within yourself.
About Me
Live on Loction in London for Sky News, working with phenominal colleagues. (My name was Ali Jack.)
As a young journalist I cut my teeth on the ‘Iron Lady’, the British Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher. And if you look closely, you’ll see I thought being a powerful woman involved wearing power shoulder pads and big earrings!
Thank you so much to everyone who’s been part of the journey and to everyone I’ve yet to meet. I can’t wait to see what we co-create together!

Our Collective Conditioning
I gained privileged insights into our collective conditioning by interviewing thousands of people during my earlier career as a news journalist — from world leaders and rock stars, to those facing profound challenges. I glimpsed our brilliance, witnessed our suffering, and felt our shared pain and love.
Personal Struggles
My own struggles centred around grief. While I was flourishing professionally — broadcasting live to millions of people around the world — I battled a vicious inner critic and a messy love life. Trying to numb the difficult emotions, as many of us do, made it all more intense.
Call To Adventure
Driving across Chelsea Bridge in London one sunny day, I was suddenly struck by the realisation: There has to be more to life!
I seemingly had it all, and yet in that moment I knew there was a much richer life experience I was missing out on. I had no idea how to find it.
Have you had the call?
The Quest
In the quest that unfolded, I extensively researched how the conditioned self operates, both collectively and personally. I understood that to be the key to our fulfilment. I was unaware of the extent of my own egoic delusion at the time.
Homecoming
It took years of research, practice, and many mistakes to find the most effective tools and techniques to facilitate core empowerment, in myself and others, and to understand the nature of resistance. I’ve created a unique system combining coaching and techniques rooted in neuroscience with mindfulness and creativity.
Owning Our Destiny
I’ve trained with some of the world’s most successful coaches, and I’ve integrated these teachings into my work, so I can help you create the life experiences and contributions you are destined for.
My mission is to help us elevate our human experience and make the most of the extraordinary times in which we live. I believe, together, we can help bring about the next level of our evolution, revealing our more enlightened and loving human nature.
Each of us has our unique contribution to add. The world needs your gifts and talents. It would be my privilege to serve you.

Coaching For Our Times
In these times of rapid change, we’re navigating unprecedented personal, social and cultural transformation.
We’re transitioning into a new era where many of our traditional systems are breaking down and evolving.
These breakdowns can serve as breakthroughs — this is a period of great opportunity.
As external structures change swiftly, aspects of our identities are shifting too. Our programming urgently needs an upgrade!
We find a sense of certainty and calm when we understand both our essential and complex natures, and we remain relevant and effective, as we can move forward and pivot quickly.
Knowing what’s genuinely important to us — what we stand for, and what motivates us at a more profound level —we instinctively know how to shape and influence our new world, both personally and collectively.
We can truly soar.

The circumstances of life and love can certainly be challenging, and we all have our unique experiences to share.
At the same time, within our personal stories the are repeating patterns common to us all, reminding us there is a bigger picture. On some level, we are all interconnected; we don’t face our struggles, or achieve our successes alone.
As we choose what we nurture in our personal worlds, we are simultaneously influencing and interacting with each other, as well as our environment, in ever-greater spheres.
We are all part of a bigger story. What role do you choose to play? What is the authentic contribution you alone are destined to make?

The Ego Delusion
We all have different qualities and character traits we draw upon when we interact with each other — that’s one of the healthy ways we get along.
And we’ve all sacrificed our authenticity at some point to fit in — we humans are social creatures and historically, that’s how we survived.
Problems arise when the conditions of our family, work or social groups don’t align with who we really are. If we identify with the conditioning, we become separated from our authenticity.
Sometimes, we lose touch with ourselves because we’ve taken on the emotions or energy of others.
The false sense of self can be seen as a matrix that obscures our truth from ourselves and others.
When we lose connection with our core being in this way, we feel pain and we suffer.
Inevitably, we experience inner conflict. It may seem like there are different parts of us battling, or we’re self-sabotaging. We may live with hostile inner critics, or feel like imposters both in our own lives and our own bodies. We may try to escape altogether.
The effects might be quite dramatic, or show up as a pervasive malaise.
It’s important to remember, this is mostly not our fault.
We can view the suffering as a symptom of a sickness, similar to physical pain. Even so, it’s natural to resist our healing.
The great news is both ancient wisdom and modern science demonstrate that this can all be resolved.
Although it seems counter-intuitive, when we simply embrace our discomfort — and when we are properly guided in the process — we can gently dissolve and transform our hidden blocks and inner resistance. We can either release the old energy or restore and reintegrate the parts we had rejected. We feel lighter and more whole. We’ve got more vitality and joie de vivre. We connect more deeply to our authentic self and to others.
Becoming Masterful
It often seems other people, or circumstances of life dictate how we feel and behave. This can lead us to feel that life, others, or our behaviour is out of control. We feel disempowered or stuck.
The truth is, we all have the agency to shape both our inner landscape — our perceptions, thoughts and feelings — and how we express ourselves outwardly through our words, actions, creations and contributions.
In this period of our evolution, we have the tools we need to harness this superpower.
When we are mindful of what’s in our control and direct our energies there, we are genuinely empowered.
