Background

About John Ballam

My Approach to Integral Coaching and Organizational Development These practices view people and organizations as intelligent, sensitive, complex personalities that want to thrive. It is a far more rigorous approach to coaching and organizational development than visioning, goal setting and problem-solving. Therefore, it can assist you in achieving higher levels of personal and corporate integrity. It is based on Integral Theory, developed by Ken Wilber and his associates. My deepest level of industry knowledge is within education, training and development. I work best with people and organizations in the helping professions and those who align themselves with the values of The Triple Bottom Line. I am a certified Associate Integral Coach and an experienced organizational development consultant. Please get in touch with me if you would like to learn more about my services.
