| Christo
Norden-Powers is a former trial
lawyer who developed an interest in human performance and meditation
in the 1970's. In 1984 Christo trained and coached 15 Australian Olympic athletes,
including medallists Gary Honey and Debbie Flintoff-King, in
how to generate and maintain peak performance states using both
Eastern and Western techniques.
His work then quickly spread to companies that were interested
in developing peak performance in their people, and soon after
to the development of corporate cultures that generate and support
sustained high performance. Christo left the legal profession
in 1985 to pursue his interest in transforming companies.
In the period 1985 - 1987 Christo and colleagues designed and
implemented one of the largest corporate cultural change projects
in the southern hemisphere. The team trained 14,000 people during
those years in a hands-on change process that ultimately led
Christo in the early 90's to develop the powerful and highly
effective MasterProcess (coaching and facilitaton process)and
Change MasterProcess programs. More recently, Christo designed
the workshop Powerful Questions That Every Director, Executive
and Manager Must Ask, and delivers that program in-house for
private business clients, as well as for the Australian Institute
of Company Directors, the Australian Institute of Management
and the Institute of Chartered Accountants and Chartered Secretaries
Australia.
Christo is widely regarded as a highly skilled corporate transformation
consultant and an outstanding facilitator and executive coach.

consulting services to many well-known organisations and individuals

For two years I had the privilege of working with Christo on
my company's major cultural change program. Professional consultants
have impact. Christo has much more than that. He has the capacity
to work with people in a way that works for each individual,
empowers each person and achieves results very quickly. My personal
and professional development as a human resources practitioner
gained from working with Christo has been more than in my entire
prior career in this field. Without hesitation he has my highest
recommendation.

Christo Norden-Powers has worked alongside me for 12 months.
Christo has to be, in my experience, one of the leading experts
on corporate culture. Not just on theory, but on how to actually
make it work quickly and easily. He is an excellent facilitator
and can handle the most difficult personality effortlessly. His
intuition is incannily accurate. He is able to sense what works
and to achieve a workable outcome quickly and smoothly.
