    • Structural dynamics – working with natureRobert Frizt studied structure in the arts, as a composer, filmmaker, writer. And then was like, hey, these basic principles apply to all forms of creating. In business, in personal lives, in relationships! That started him off into structural consulting of which I am a trainee. How can you have the dynamic of structure, which is governed by nature, work FOR whatever it is you want to create instead of against you. Because yes, it works both ways. ‘Mother’ structure doesn’t care about what we want. But we can study her and use what we learn to become skilled creators.
    • Structure in businessHow to design an organisation for success. That’s basically it. Only, success can’t be guaranteed. You can, however, learn to up your business’ chances of creating the desired outcomes by using the principles of structure. Structure is governed by nature. Learning to work WITH that mighty force is something you do once and then keep applying it and deepening your understanding of it for the rest of your life.
    • Structure in personal lifeNot only in business but also in our thinking can be structures that work against what we want to create in life and work. It is possible to uncover these structures by doing a one on one deep dive exploration of your topic. Wouldn’t it be great to become a fluent creator (again) without having to adopt better beliefs about yourself, more positive thinking, the right mindset or attitude? I think it is my laziness that drives me to this work. I tried everything in the self help business and never, ever found something that I could stick with or that stuck with me. Such a relief to dive to the core of things and be utterly real, become in touch with a part of reality which we have kept hidden or overlooked for all those years. Especially the therapists and the other alternative and regular helping professionals who do a session with me are struck with what they find. How come I never learned this in school? Because, well, we just don’t. But we should. Our world would be better for it.
