What if the most powerful shift we could foster through coaching is not simply behavioural or cognitive—but existential?

In this thought-provoking session, Hetty Einzig introduces transpersonal coaching as a pathway toward meaning-making, interconnectedness, and transformative change. Rooted in her Spirit at Work framework, Hetty challenges the dominance of individualism—the “Me” mindset that has shaped much of Western culture—and invites us to coach toward a deeper sense of “We.”

While individualism has brought personal freedoms and self-actualisation, it also risks fostering disconnection, loneliness, and a burdened sense of self-responsibility. In an era marked by polarisation, ecological crisis, and technological acceleration, many clients are reaching for something more: purpose, meaning, and a renewed sense of belonging.

This lecture will explore:

• Why coaching must evolve beyond performance and problem-solving.
• The myth of separation—and the imperative of interdependence.
• How transpersonal coaching supports meaning, values, and ecological consciousness.
• Coaching as a humanising force in the age of AI and algorithmic thinking.
• What it means to shift from Me to We—in ourselves, our clients, and the systems we serve.

Far from abstract theory, this is a call to action for coaches who feel the urgency of our times. Join Hetty to explore how we can reclaim coaching as a space for connection, transformation, and soulful presence—and why, now more than ever, it matters.
