Corepower, Leadership from your Core: Living your life according to your vision. Being balanced and regaining balance whenever you lose it. Living dee (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781495279874)

Baud Vandenbemden (1973) is an experienced trainer and coach. He specializes in guiding people towards deeper connection. He has used the Corepower program to work with diverse groups around themes such as leadership, aggression, defensibility, and social and cultural diversity. "When I work with people, I strive to connect. I guide you - to be more contact with yourself, with others, with what you really want, with your mission, and with the world you live in. By connecting with 'the inside' you can come to know the higher aspects of yourself and the other. This is the basis of ethical action and real personal leadership. The path to deeper connection is scary. Your first meeting with the underlying layers of your personality is often difficult. But the reward is worth the effort and comes as in the form of better psychic health, feelings of happiness, and a more meaningful life, among other untold benefits. Culturally there is a trend that complicates venturing inside, namely the rationalization of the world and the tendency to only take seriously that which can be objectively experienced. This results in a two-dimensional outlook on the world, an impoverishment which makes a lot of people try to fill up their inner void with all kinds of addictions My challenge for you is to get over this two-dimensionality into (re)connection with your inner subjective world. This way you will create openness for sustainable solutions to personal and societal problems. How do I manage this? I have a slee of exercises and techniques to allow groups and individuals to take this step. However, techniques are nothing but superficial methods, no matter how effective, useful and necessary. Quality relationships are the real basis for change. This is the case for a group of young would-be criminals, who find the way to openness through martial arts, as it is the case for a leader who wants to transcend the emptiness of a career blitz. When guiding these processes I try to create a safe atmosphere through a loving and warm attitude. This is a context that makes it possible to go a step further. I do as consisely as possible what I ask from others; to live from a place of deep connectedness."
