What do we do when our wonderful plans in a known, predictable, and seemingly controllable world get suddenly shattered and we are catapulted into a world of chaos, uncertainty, and ambiguity?
One option is to fall apart under the pressure and the tumult, and to shrink in the face of seemingly insurmountable challenges.
Another option is to use these crises as defining moments that can foster a period of post-traumatic growth, discover our latent genius, and emerge transformed at every level - professionally, relationally, and emotionally.
Not only are we equipped to navigate chaos and uncertainty, but we can even grow through adversity. Instead of allowing these crises to bring out the worst in us, the unavoidable catastrophes of life can also inspire the best in us, and propel us onto nothing less than a Hero’s Journey of unprecedented growth, and perhaps even help us illuminate the path for others stumbling in the darkness.

Testimonials
« Dr George's presentation was nothing short of Amazing! He covered A LOT of content in such a short period of time, all the while keeping the audience interested. Work & Family life balance always seems to be a struggle. He found a way to explain...how to achieve the balance & most importantly WHY it is important. Best outside presenter of any meeting, ever! Really great talk! As someone who is a bit jaded when it comes to guest speakers - detest the motivational speaker ''wishy washy'' unscientific stuff - Dr. George was refreshing as all his great advice was grounded in good science! »
« “Funny, eloquent and brilliant are just some of the qualities that come to mind about Dr. Sabongui. His presentation was chock-full of fascinating scientific knowledge wrapped up in real-life situations and funny anecdotes that made it all very easy to understand and apply to our personal and professional lives. This was one of the very best conferences we’ve ever had. »
« "Dr. Georges" as he is known within our organisation, seems to have become one of our team. Georges has a remarkable talent to assess problems very quickly and provide immediate guidance to quickly improve the situation, prior to providing the detailed plan for a complete revamping of that particular area of the business that had been struggling. Over the past seven years I have had the pleasure of working with Georges professionally to assist our organisation move from strength to strength. It is surprising that so many people initially do not believe that a trained psychologist can help them so much in the workplace (I was one such sceptic!). I can testify that every single person on my team have benefitted from his wisdom and guidance. That old stigma of meeting the psychologist in an out the office secret location no longer applies. Georges comes to our office, sometime uninvited for a chat and our staff are very comfortable with Georges sitting at their desk. This is, in my opinion, remarkable as only 2 or 3 years ago, this could and would never had happened. I run a very busy department and my team members are mainly senior graduates with a minimum 30 years experience, who, until Dr. Georges came on the scene, could never see 'the other way' of tackling the various issues that they were facing on a day to day basis! Georges has an incredible mind and a wonderful disposition. People warm to him quickly and he instils confidence in those he is working with. He works tirelessly to find solutions and I am so grateful to him for not only improving my own quality of life, but for improving my entire team at the office. »
« I just wanted to send a huge thank you your way (and to anyone else who helped to make the Energia training possible). Since starting the course, I have been waking up early to head out for 5:30 am walks [...] I have begun working on positive coping strategies and have taken a good look at how I can handle stressful situations differently. My positive self-talk has increased, and I have realized that while I still have some work to do (maybe a lot), this is something worth investing in...I am someone worth investing in. »
