About Us
Be The Change is under the stewardship of Nick Hart-Williams and Sir John Whitmore. Many others have contributed greatly to the planning and presentation of our conferences. We are particularly grateful to Christopher Cooke, Hetty Einzig, Tim MacCartney, Lawrence Bloom, Tatiana Glad, Ursula Capell - and of course to Colin Morley (see previous page).
Lawrence has had an innovative, highly respected and successful career in the property business. While in charge of Inter-Continental Hotels' property portfolio, he developed an environmental manual, subsequently endorsed by H.R.H. The Prince of Wales and adopted by all the major 5-star hotel groups worldwide. In 1996, Lawrence decided to take a prolonged sabbatical and began to travel the world extensively, furthering his studies of business and spiritual philosophies and practice. Lawrence's personal focus is on raising awareness of the need for individual, cultural and organizational transformation, based on sharing best practice and breakthrough technology.
Ursula's work in the TV and branding industry lead her to seriously question communications and the personal and business integrity behind them. Realising this, she took time out to explore what she really wanted her life to be about - and discovered that others could benefit from this space too. In 2002 she founded The Create Space Company, a facilitation company working with people and business to have space to question their real priorities and work to help their actions achieve that. 
Innovator of Social and Organizational Architecture through the application of Integral Elaboration Strategies; Christopher's background as a water engineer, has allowed him to pioneer the application of the knowledge and wisdom present in natural designs in order to co-create habitats that enable emergence for individuals, organizations, regions and countries. Co-creator of Be-the-Change, Christopher works internationally as a trainer, consultant, coach and confidante in the social change processes that impact all aspects of human activities. He continues to be inspired by discovering 'what is truly possible' in the fields of business, medicine, science, economics, ecology, education, politics and personal development.
Hetty works with individuals, teams and groups, coaching and running leadership programmes. A transpersonal psychotherapist, she works holistically from a systems perspective to engage people with deeper purpose and transformation. People's courage and care continue to inspire her.
Hetty is an Associate of Praesta Partners and a Senior Consultant with Performance Consultants International. Prior to this she was the founding director of the Parenting Forum; she has worked as a journalist, TV presenter, ran an art gallery and written several books and articles, recently on Transpersonal Coaching with John Whitmore for Excellence in Coaching: the Industry Guide.
Tatiana Glad is passionate about hosting meaningful conversations that lead to meaningful action for our Selves and our Planet. A skilled facilitator of learning processes and a consultant for sustainability and social responsibility, Tatiana is a partner of Engage! InterAct, co-founder of Waterlution, and a social entrepreneur. Tatiana's professional and educational background is in entrepreneurship and international business, holding a MSc in Responsibility & Business Practice. She is committed to building life-affirming and
resilient leadership for whole systems change.
Currently the full-time 'organiser' of Be The Change, Nick has had a lifetime in media, with particular interest in sustainability and change. He was founder of the Other Cinema; a documentary Commissioning Editor at Channel Four; a documentary film-maker (Greenbucks, Prophets & Loss); and an internet and multi-media entrepreneur.
Mac is the CEO and founder of Embercombe, a social enterprise located in Devon that seeks to 'inspire committed action towards a truly sustainable world'. He has been coaching and developing leaders from the corporate world since 1984 and has recently published his first book Finding Earth, Finding Soul. Over a period of twenty years Mac has been mentored and coached by Native American 'Medicine' people to learn the cultural and spiritual teachings that once informed the practice of our own British indigenous culture. The values, principles, and wisdom of this tradition inform and guide all aspects of his life and work.
