1. What is Transformational Presence? And why is it important in today’s rapidly changing world?
2. What is the conscious leadership movement? How does Transformational Presence fit into that movement?
3. What is the Great Breaking Open? How can understanding that concept help us today?
4. You say that all of Transformational Presence is rooted in just three questions. What are they, and what makes them so powerful?
5. The Three Fundamental Principles of Transformational Presence are interesting concepts about how life works as energy in motion. Can you talk about that idea and about these three principles and how they relate to leadership today?
6. You pose the question: Do you talk to Life, or do you let Life talk to you? What does that really mean? 
7. “Push Against Or Partner With” seems to be fundamental concept of your work. What is this concept and why is it important?
8. What are Whole-Mind Thinking and Whole-Being Awareness?
9. You make a really interesting distinction between the words “complicated” and “complex.” And then there is this new word “complexicated!” Talk about that and how that relates to what is happening in the world today.
10. You mention an emerging 4^th level of leadership development. How do you see the stages of leadership development, and what is this new 4^th level? You also talk about levels of awareness with power. How does all of this fit together?
11. You introduce the concept of TransformAction in your latest book. What is that?
12. Towards the end of your lastest book, you introduce four modern-day archetypes that make up the foundation of Transformational Presence and TransformActional leadership and service. Talk about those archetypes and how they can help us in a new kind of leadership today.
13. You have written about “leadership as a social contract.” What does that mean, and why is it so important within the context of all that happening in the world today?
14. What would you say is the most important message from Transformational Presence for those who truly want to make a difference in today’s rapidly changing world?

Transformational Presence: How To Make a Difference In a Rapidly Changing World

Alan’s latest book, Transformational Presence, is actually a two-book set. The first book includes the concepts, theory, philosophy, and fundamental understandings necessary for navigating today’s complex and uncertain world. The second book below includes the tools, skills, and frameworks to put the concepts and philosophy of the first book into practice. Transformational Presence is an essential guide for:

• Visionaries who want to move beyond their vision into action
• Leaders who are navigating the unknown and pioneering new territory
• Individuals and organizations committed to living into their greatest potential
• Coaches, mentors, and educators supporting the greatest potential in others
• Public servants committed to making a difference
• Anyone who wants to help create a world that works

Transformational Presence: The Tools, Skills, and Frameworks

This second book in the Transformational Presence set includes over 40 leadership and coaching tools, frameworks, and exercises—a skill-set for conscious leadership in an increasingly complex world. With each tool or framework, you will find full scripts and descriptions for working with both individuals as well as teams and organizations.

Create A World that Works

We are living in extraordinary times. We face challenges on all levels:  economic, environmental, educational, corporate, governmental, personal, and spiritual.  Experts and thought leaders in all of these arenas put forth ideas and models for the way forward.  However, great as many of those ideas and models may be, if we are going to create a world that works, there must first be a shift in our awareness, in how we think, and in how we “show up” to life and leadership each day. We can learn to look at challenges from the perspective of potential and opportunity rather than thinking of them as problems to be solved. We can become co-creators of a new and different world rather than trying to fix an old one.

The Power of Your Presence

A great little gift book, The Power of Your Presence is the perfect companion for anyone wanting to reach their greatest potential. Small enough to fit in a purse or pocket, it is right there when you have a few minutes to spare to help you find your center, focus, personal power, and strength. It’s great for a daily commute, waiting for an appointment, or as a meditation aid.

The Manifestation Wheel

Drawing on his deep and profound knowledge of ancient wisdom traditions, how life works, quantum physics, and our increasing understanding of energy fields, not to mention his work with thousands of people who want to bring change into their lives and the world, Alan Seale has written a book that gives you a clear and practical system to do just that.

Soul Mission * Life Vision

Soul Mission * Life Vision is a ground-breaking guidebook to knowing and fulfilling your life’s purpose. It’s the owner’s manual you never received when you entered this world, offering both the theory and the practice that can lead you to getting the most out of your life—physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. This compelling book begins with an in-depth exploration of how life works—understanding your human experience. From there Alan leads you on a powerful expedition to discover your soul mission—why you are here, your purpose in life. Anchored by your soul mission, you then take an amazing flight into the world of all possibilities and create a life vision that fulfills your mission as well as your greatest hopes and dreams.

Intuitive Living

Intuitive Living, Alan’s first book, remains the top seller of all of his books and has become a classic in the universal spirituality arena. The first book to fully integrate spiritual awakening with intuitive development, it brings together timeless wisdom of ancient traditions with practical spirituality for today. Alan leads the reader on a very personal journey of spiritual self-discovery—a journey free of dogma or attachment to any particular belief system. A ground-breaking book, it offers clear and practical tools for enlightened living, including over 50 exercises and meditations, in-depth chakra exploration, personal stories, and powerful techniques for developing and refining intuitive skills.

The Center for Transformational Presence, based in Newburyport, Massachusetts, USA, is a discovery, learning, and transformation space for leaders, coaches, teachers, visionaries, social entrepreneurs, managers, parents, healthcare professionals, educators, artists, politicians, public servants, and anyone who wants to make a difference in the world.

Our mission is simple: We help create a world that works.

We offer a full Transformational Presence toolkit and skill set – simple and practical yet incredibly powerful tools and approaches that build and expand your capacities for awareness, understanding, creativity, innovation, resilience, compassion, and effective action.

A powerful conscious living and leadership movement is now emerging all over the world. Transformational Presence serves that movement by providing the foundational skills, tools, and capacities for awareness and perception that are required for leading and serving in complexity. We offer creative, discovery-based transformational approaches to life, leadership, and service rooted in understanding that the world is built on a matrix of relationships, and that everything that happens is a part of a bigger picture. Nothing exists in isolation. Everything exists within a larger context. And at the most fundamental level, everything – relationships, families, businesses, governments, education, health care – is  energy in motion.

When we approach everything – opportunities as well as challenges, big visions as well as roadblocks – as energy in motion, forward movement is greatly accelerated.

Transformational Presence offers a new foundation for leadership that can transform our world.
