This is the go-to guide for leaders across organisations, no matter what sector, who are facing into dilemmas around how to lead change. Having worked through the Still Moving Field Guide, leaders will come away knowing far more about how their inner world impacts life in organisations. Be prepared to be shaken and stirred in unimaginable ways!

'By becoming self-aware, you gain ownership of reality; in becoming real, you become the master of both inner and outer life' - Deepak Chopra
The Still Moving Field Guide offers a whole new paradigm for change practitioners, and is particularly apposite in our increasingly volatile world. The approach connects us at the real level of emotion and feeling, providing what I like to call a 'human navigation system' for leaders, practitioners and organisations to plot their way through uncertainty and disruption. At times provocative and counter-intuitive, this Field Guide consistently and compassionately taps into our human side and applies that capacity to the change agenda in rich, deep and meaningful ways, making it the most sustainable and accessible approach to change I know.

The Still Moving Field Guide is fantastically rich and thought provoking for any person wanting to be successful at Change. When it feels like the tectonic plates are shifting around us, when nobody really has the answers but only questions, when complexity is overwhelming and it is all making us feel unsettled, then finding a way back to our human inner capacities is the thing that is going to anchor us and allow us to truly shift patterns and create forward movement. With ruthless compassion, true respect and without judgement, Still Moving takes you on a journey starting in the inner world where you work with your origins, triggers and emotional responses, through to how these manifest themselves in outer action that in turn will have an impact on the whole system around you. It's a roller coaster ride like no other, and I could not have chosen a better companion. Thank you Still Moving, for this incredible expedition!

Be prepared to be blown away by both the power and practicality of the Still Moving Field Guide. Since becoming a practitioner in 2018, I have had the opportunity to look, learn and apply the acute nature of the inner capacities and external practices in a variety of situations - all linked to high magnitude change, transformation and unprecedent, emergent conditions. To say that in each and every case, the impact of applying these skills in a considered and measured way has resulted in exceptional outcomes, is an understatement. In applying the Still Moving philosophy, one must step whole heartedly into practising the skills which I have found to be a continuous and ongoing 'lived' experience, still moving even!
