This course provided 21 Century information, challenges and stimulating insights that are applicable "immediately" to my leadership work. This is critical foundation material for anyone leading in the complexity of these times and wanting to be relevant and vital.

“Top-notch, cutting edge, comprehensive, truly Integral, inspirational, challenging and brilliant - a real gem. Must take!” This course is for everyone interested in Transformational Leadership, Strategy and Governance. Let me tell you what makes me think so. I’m sure you also have that inner knowing that there is a deep NEED to transform the current state of the world. It could be possible that you have felt more than once that something needs to be changed in the place you work at or in an organization you are part of. But you haven't come accross a truly comprehensive way to understand - let alone deal with it? You might have checked on the internet or in bookshops for information but felt overwhelmed by the sheer amount of transformational D-I-Y books and felt the lack of the overall picture? You might have talked to friends and colleagues about the need to get started but your coffee-break talks haven't changed anything? So you may even have decided just to put up with things as they are because anyway your planner is already filled up with appointments and your filled up inbox doesn't allow you enough time to clean up the piles of papers on your desk? Don’t worry, part of this course puts you back on track and helps you get things done in a smart way as well as it encourages you to find your purpose again in your workplace as a leader by aligning values, vision and mission. All in all you are truly concerned about the wellbeing of others and the planet at large and want to make a difference? Then this course is for you. You are a thinker, an observer, one who wants to see the overall picture of Transformational Leadership or you are just trying to get some tools to take first new steps? Then again, this course is for you. Self-paced, comprehensive, clearly structured and challenging the course introduces you to several ways of looking at complexity, transformation and leadership in general. In my opinion this course truly is transformational. It makes such good use of tools as Wilbers Integral map and other models like Spiral Dynamics and many other ways and models of seeing and engaging in todays complex world. I would even call it truly Integral as it covers all dimensions of leadership through an Integral perspective - not for the sake of the theory but for the sake of the quallity of transformational change. Haven't heard of Integral Theory or Spiral Dynamics? Don't worry. Peter Merry introduces them in a very comprehensive way and helps you use them as tools for understanding and transformation. There are many ways to deepen the well structured and easy to follow lectures by cross references such as talks, videos and papers. Dive into them and have fun! There is also plenty of opportunity to integrate and test what you have learned so far. But be aware that you won't get an easy to apply solution you can take home with. Be rather prepared to be inspired to see what works and how and see many good examples for making a difference. Have fun, stay open, be playful, make mistakes, learn and readjust. Be part of what wants to emerge - for the sake of all life on the Planet. C. Wittman, Germany.

I really enjoyed Section 7, where I had a feeling how actually can everything be done, but overall course gives an impression of interconnectedness between things what were just touching each others field in my mind, but not actually overlaping.

It is a bit early for me to really give a substantial review...that said there certainly is a good amount of detail and the presenter is very passionate about the subject. It seems he has put much thought, energy and time into creating the course. I am hoping there will be ample space given for solution. I have been having difficulty finding the resource material to print, as that is very necessary for thorough study. Thank you

A really great course providing an in-depth integral overview of tranformational change and leadership that is at once both accessible, actionable, and very much needed in our world today.

The overview left me very excited about the possibilities in applying these tools to engage with several organizations I am a part of. I love that there is a component that asks me to make a personal commitment toward greater effectiveness. The story of the school in Ghana touched me deeply as I have been committed to education my whole life and detest many of the things I have heard about the workings of organizations such as the World Bank. The power of large organizations to affect many people without caring about human life has really taken over the world and the promise of tools to challenge that is exciting.

This is a fine course both as an introduction to thought on the subject of leadership, but also appropriate to those who have had both experience in leadership roles and are familiar with modern thought. I find it thought provoking at every level.

So far there's great, well explained content with an invitation to reflect wholistically upon self & culture, free of historic condemnation & use all that is to traverse/implement a new/different way forward.

This Course on "Transformational Leadership" by Peter Merry is the most advanced of its kind that I recommend, as it touches on all the topics that are relevant for the huge changes that operate in these hyper-complex times while dealing with Leadership from an Integral Transformational Perspective.

this course provides an amazing stream of very valuable content, absolutely useful for dealing with the challenges of our time. the teacher is a star in making complexity simple: brilliant! I personally learned more about growth and change on an organizational level, and also the bringing together and connecting all these valuable theories and practices (most of I was already familiar with) in an integral approach, was very helpful for me.

Thank you Peter - and Jim - from creating Ubiquity and the Transformational Leadership course. This was my first on-line course with this much detail so I was interested to see how I'd fair. I LOVED it!!! Why? I loved all the resources - Peter's instruction, articles, Youtube videos, TedTalks, etc. It made the course 'real' seeing others in the world engaging new concepts and listening to corporate leaders as they explained how creating sustainability within their cultures was creating real benefit to staff, the bottom line and the world. Some of this material was new to me, some not. But it didn't matter because, put into this context, I feel I can really use it now and integrate it with my current work to form the framework I need to engage my work of the world. I'm excited about my 'new' work and the future. I am recommending this course to anyone and everyone who is open and ready to explore themselves with the knowledge that the changes and evolution they experience are then passed into everything they do and everyone they meet. Then we all evolve. We are one.
