Most of What Shapes Our Decisions Remains Unconscious
Most of our decisions, reactions, and ways of relating are shaped by processes outside of conscious awareness.
And yet, most coaching and organisational work focuses only on what can be seen, said, and rationally understood.
This creates a gap.

There is no going back
The CGJC training opened doors of depth psychology for me and there is no going back. Not only did I find it personally gratifying, but professionally as well applying Jungian techniques and approaches is allowing for a deeper, inherently stronger and more integrated experience.
