The Center for Transformational Presence is the leading edge in providing experiential, practical tools for becoming who we are really called to be. It’s the integrated approach I was always seeking. Connecting to self, source energy, and potential is a significant difference from any other coach training I have attended. I see results in my clients’ lives and work that are far beyond what I saw before working with Alan. I do much more experiential coaching now rather than just asking questions, listening, and talking. My intuitive knowing has become more developed through this work, and I am aware of trusting it and using it more. And I see a difference in who my clients are as well. The Transformational Presence approach has attracted the people that I most enjoy coaching across sectors and demographics. This is work for the generations to come.

Transformational Presence work bridges in every sense: the being with the doing, the seen with the unseen world, intellect and intuition. The result is greater creativity, cooperation and innovation, and genuine happiness.

Working with Alan is a real privilege. His unique presence is purely authentic, powerful, and liberating. He has a way of intuitively asking the right questions at the right moment in the most appropriate way, often bringing transformation on the spot. For me personally, this has been extremely valuable in my search for fulfillment in the second half of my life. Specifically, it inspired me to found the Academy of New Leadership Quinter in The Netherlands in 2012.

There are a lot of books and theories about leadership and coaching. Alan has distilled the essence to create his extremely powerful approach, Transformational Presence. It is profound on the one hand, practical on the other.

I recommend any program or workshop with Alan without any hesitation to anyone who wants to live a more meaningful or effective life.

—Mark Braber, MSc, CTPC, Founder & Leadership Coach at Quinter

Since I first started with the TPLC in 2015, I have noticed a profound change in who I am and where I am. The largest shift happened at the Soul Mission intensive, and then the TPLA anchored it deeper down inside of me. The TPLA in 2018 helped me to make an enormous shift in my work and the way I show up in my work. Thank you!

I am not the flower-power type. I’m down to earth and rational. And I can be emotional. When I first subscribed to the TPLC course [Transformational Presence for Leaders and Coaches] I read Alan’s book Create a World That Works in preparation. To be honest, I should say that I tried to read it. I just did not understand what Alan was writing about! Although I was very curious about the course, I have to admit that I was also skeptical.

It is only through experiencing Transformational Presence in the way that Alan presents it in this course that I could really get it. I didn’t recognize how intuitive I am and how significant that would be for me. This was a turning point. Yet I was still hesitant to introduce this approach into my work. I work with entrepreneurs who are also often down-to-earth and rational types like me.

However, thanks to the TPLM [Transformational Presence Leadership and Facilitation Mentoring Program], I made a huge shift and really stepped into my full potential. Since then, so many incredible things have happened. I implement Transformational Presence into my work and life now as if I have been doing it for many years. There’s no more hesitation, only confirmation that this is the way forward, for me, for my clients, and for my family.

I now have a clear elevator pitch when I go out to network. I feel very inspired to talk about soul and ego to entrepreneurs and to see how much they are intrigued about that. I am showing up as a Transformational Presence Coach. Creativity is flowing and I feel so grateful for Alan’s commitment to my learning process and for the community he has built.

Thank you, Alan. I’m quoting you when I say: You truly are a gift.

—Sandra Peeters, Executive Coach, Antwerp, Belgium

Through his own transformational Presence, Alan Seale creates a uniquely powerful learning environment. He is the most compassionate yet most effective teacher I have ever worked with. He creates a unique, powerful, and sacred energy in the room. He has the gift of making the complex simple. I had expected that we would do a lot more reflective or meditative practices rather than using “concrete” tools to get us into the intuitive mind. It is mind blowing how well they work. What we learned, we learned with our heads, hearts, and guts. Truly memorable. Whether you want to get unstuck with personal challenges, become a more effective coach, or a more inspirational leader in service of making the world a better place—work with Alan. You are going to learn to touch the sacred in you and others and become a force that is truly transformational.

This morning I was sitting in a cafe with my friend and we were talking about the books and workshops that had inspired us recently and the influence they were having on our lives. During this conversation, I realized that meeting you this summer in Poland created a shift in my life. This feeling of new perception is so deep... and it just keeps growing. I just want you to know that the spirit of Transformational Presence and the Transformational Presence approach is still with me. It's not just another inspiration. This is something more. It's a new kind of living every day—a new quality of life. Thank you from my heart for sharing your passion and wisdom with others.

Finding and participating in the TPLC program was a bit like coming home. The program—and the Transformational Presence work—combined the somewhat scattered thoughts, knowledge, and ideas that I already had into a clear, logical and very accessible system. I liked the mix of theory and simple but powerful exercises, putting the theory into praxis. The basic Transformational Presence exercises and concepts offer endless opportunities for combinations and improvisations, and thus for working intuitively with clients in a way that serves them and helps them to their greatness. What I find unique with the Transformational Presence work is the focus on energy and deeper levels of transformation, i.e. more on the “being” part than the “doing” part of our human lives, than other coaching teachings I have come across. And on serving a greater good. Alan himself “walked his talk” every minute of the program and was totally present with us. Thank you, Alan!

—Brita Berglund, ACC, Coach and Environmental Communicator

So much has happened for me since I was first introduced to the Transformational Presence work. No matter what is going on, my grounding in Transformational Presence is never far away. Decision-making, both day-to-day and long-term, are so much easier and clearer now. I can still get caught on a personal rollercoaster from time to time, yet now I realize that it happens when I need to let go of something and take a big step forward. And now when the rollercoaster appears, I have tools and frameworks that help me quickly get grounded again, find clarity, and take action. I’m also getting better and faster at recognizing the rollercoaster before it sweeps me away.

More and more, I’m able to be a “vessel” for the things that need to happen. Most important to me is that I’m feeling much more at home in myself. My internal fire is so much stronger than ever before. I feel so privileged to have been introduced to Transformational Presence and to continue receiving its incredible gifts.

—Gijs Dullaert, Entrepreneur and CEO at AIMMS

When I started in 2012 with my Transformational Presence journey, I was astonished how everything I had learned before and what I felt in my heart came together in this approach. For me, there was no doubt that I wanted to learn everything about TP and that I wanted to work in this way. I am a practical, result-oriented, and down-to-earth coach and trainer and big companies, and this fits perfectly with the Transformational Presence approach.

Alan is a great teacher with a perfect balance between letting you experience how TP is working for yourself and others and also in teaching about the basics and backgrounds. And I love his books, because they are really the foundation under it all. He is always developing himself further and creating new material and workshops.

Alan is warm, intuitive, close, and really travels together with you, and you never feel that he is judging you or your issues. This gives space for everything that needs to be said, felt, or experienced. I am particularly struck by the way Alan handles resistance and how he gives feedback. He keeps the relations open, positive, and focused on the future with its challenges and opportunities. I have learned so much as a professional and also how to live my own life. It has all become easier.

Transformational Presence is growing and developing and I am proud to be a member of the TP community. In my 17 years of experience and after a lot of training in this field, I can say that this is by far the best training I have ever had.

—Francine Derks, CTPC, Business Coach and Trainer

Alan walks the walk and talks the talk. As soon as you are in his presence, you feel connected. His full awareness of himself and those around him allows for amazing experiences and learning to happen. That presence and passion for what he does is unmatched in any program or instructor I have ever experienced.

—Keith Jorgensen, ACC, CTPC, ICF Global Internal Leadership Coach for IKEA

Transformational Presence work is leadership and coaching for the coming generation. It serves as a bridge for the young leaders to come as well as a bridge for the older leaders to understand the new world.

—Anna-Lena Smith, Director of Training, CoachWalk Academy

Having the opportunity to learn from Alan and to embody Transformational Presence in my work as a nonprofit director has allowed me to operate from a deeper place of listening and connection than ever before. The power of that—the true power of Transformational Presence—has rippled through every element of my agency. In turn, it has deepened our agency’s connection to our mission.

For me, this depth and drawing out has allowed me to embrace a greater understanding of my presence and my work in the world. I can feel the power of that gift and have been able to extend and embody that in my offerings and leadership approach.

Finding Alan and his work in Transformational Presence has brought new ways of thinking and a new vocabulary to match what I so deeply value. It has been a year since I attended my first training. Yet there is not a day that goes by where the “centering” of that experience and the “practice” of Transformational Presence has not been available to help ground and lead me back to the truths that inspire and empower me to do my work in the world.

—Shareen Springer, Non-Profit Director and Restorative Justice Practitioner

Alan does not just teach. He embodies Transformational Presence. His scope is large, as is his heart. He keeps the big view while at the same time holding each moment and each person in full attention. He is gifted in his capacity to live in both the seen and unseen worlds, to hold both a global view and to hold each of us in his heart and vision in our work with him. He is generous in his heart and thinking and he encourages a community of belonging, value, possibility, acceptance, and transformation to create a bigger world of meaning and love.

—Mary Ehrgood

You do not have to want to be a coach to benefit from the teachings of Alan Seale. The teachings are universal. If there is something inside of you that wants a more authentic life, more real, more true to who you are, this is a great step to take. Learn to sidestep the drama, learn to create a space that is you so that you can share your beauty with those you serve, whatever way you serve. The experiential learning environment Alan creates serves us all who find our way to his room. His teachings and the gifts that we elicit from ourselves during the learning carry us surely, steadfastly, with hope and love, into our own magnificent future.

—May-Britt Kotzman

It has been a great journey with Alan over the last couple of years. When I first met him, I felt instantly that I had found the ultimate guide. Alan has completely lived up to my expectations and delivered! He has enabled me to integrate my personal belief system with my daily working activities as a psychologist and coach. The tools Alan has developed are invaluable. For me, he is the only example of a teacher who “walks his talk” and embodies the change that both he and I want to see in the world. Intensely and lovingly committed and involved, Alan has given me confidence to continue in this approach and has provided me with the biggest picture possible of the contribution I can make to others.

—Drs. Ian van Lidth de Jeude NIP, RL, Psychologist and Career Professional

There are very few people who are able to make a quantum, profound, and incredible impact in the lives of those they touch. Alan Seale is one of those few. He is clearly one of the most dynamic cutting-edge thinkers of our time. Alan lives what he teaches, which is magnificent. Transformational Presence is singularly the most impactful, inspiring, and useful course I have taken in my 8 ½ years of graduate school. It informs my work as a coach, therapist and writer. Perhaps most important, this way of being in the world -- living the principles of TPLC -- has become my natural habitat; TPLC is personally transformative as well as professionally profound. I am grateful beyond words.

—Nicki McClusky, PCC, CTPC, LCSW, President-Elect ICF-St. Louis, Transformational Voice Coach, Psychotherapist, and Author

Transformational Presence goes beyond coach studies and reaches practicums for living a soul-centered life. As Alan teaches, he generously encourages all participants to make the learnings their own, which gives license and freedom for application into all walks of life. All participants can incorporate the lessons and create their own fresh, new expression of it—fulfilling the goal of extending everyone’s full presence.

Alan’s authenticity rings true in his books, his workshops, and in his individual coaching sessions. That is why I chose to bring his program to the West Coast. There are many impressive programs, many impressive writers, and many impressive facilitators. Finding authenticity in all of these roles that aligns with the stated goals and objectives of the course is critical to me. Alan is authentic in every way.

—Jan Bowen, Principal and Founder, Strategic Solutions Services, LLC, and Author

Transformational Presence work appeals to me because of the beautiful combination of grand theory and very practical application. Alan has a great talent for making complex concepts into very simple tools. Above all, he is truly congruent, thus inviting great-pleasure learning. Applying and living Transformational Presence feels really natural to me. It has helped me focus more in life and sharpen my presence. And my coaching has become quicker and deeper, and is bringing much greater results for my clients.

—Mieke Elekan, CTPC, Coach, Trainer, Facilitator

Alan’s presence is unique and has a depth rarely found. From the first exercise on, he created a space of connection, a space in which it was safe to explore and experiment, a container for people to transform and to participate in one another’s transformation. I highly recommend this program if you want to cut through story and work at the level of energy to transform yourself and to support others in the transformations they’re looking for. The tools you will gain have incredible depth and are amazingly practical.
