As visionary and illuminating as it is instructive and practical, A Shift in Being is a guide for all those who desire to support others to explore and transform their inner world, and to embody new levels of personal reality.

This book takes you on an inspiring journey that reveals how life coaching is perfectly positioned to support people to experience and express their true selves. Not by using an intellect-driven, 'figure it out' approach, but by shifting their attention to what is emanating from deep within. Their paradigm then shifts, radically changing how they experience themselves and the world around them.

In clear, relaxed prose, Leon VanderPol takes you through the process of facilitating soul-deep transformation, masterfully weaving together coaching, healing, psychology, and spirituality with an in-depth knowledge of what it takes to open people to their highest truths.

• The first part explores the stages, patterns, and dynamics of human transformation—essential knowledge for all those who do transformative work.

• The second part introduces the Deep Coaching approach and nine presence-based transformative practices that will forever change the potentials of your life and work.

A Shift in Being offers a new coaching paradigm, one that enables you to create vibrant spaces in which people can explore the boundaries of their existence, tap into their deepest self, heal, and express more of who they truly are.

For over twenty years, Leon VanderPol has devoted his life to personal development and spiritual transformation. Having spent the first ten of those years understanding and deepening his own, he then became a personal coach and mentor, and spirit-based teacher and healer.  Through his work, Leon helps people discover and embody who they really are, beyond all beliefs and judgements about themselves.

At the core of his teaching lies the transformation of human consciousness—what happens when we consistently begin to experience ourselves beyond our ego-based state of consciousness, as our essential self and soul.

Today Leon VanderPol is widely acknowledged as a master teacher and pioneer in the field of transformational coaching, and has spent thousands of hours training and mentoring coaches, healers, leaders and others from all over the world.

He is the founder and director of the Center for Transformational Coaching & Living, whose Deep Coaching Intensive training program now has graduates in more than 35 countries. In addition to coaching, teaching and mentoring, Leon is a sought-after speaker to an ever-expanding audience worldwide.

His teaching style is clear, open and full of humanity—and always deeply inspiring. He has an extraordinary ability to bring together people from all walks of life, and to create safe spaces for them to explore new ways of being and living.

When not engaged in transformative work, Leon is to be found at home in Taiwan puttering in the garden or hitting the beach with his wife and two children.
