AS THE WORLD becomes increasingly complex and turbulent, it is clear we are facing a paradigm shift. Not only a technological shift, but also a shift in consciousness and leadership. To match the external acceleration, we need to grow faster than ever within ourselves.

In The Authentic Shift, Carl Lindeborg condenses twenty years of experience in developing leaders and supporting organisations to manage change. In this practical guidebook, he outlines the ‘keys’ that lead to the next paradigm and the inner resources that will help you navigate powerfully and successfully into the future.
