All of us as practitioners have a shared experience. We went along to discover their Core Process following a recommendation, or sometimes just a feeling that it might be useful or interesting. The resulting impact that it made to our lives was such that we felt compelled to share this experience and joy with others. Nick Heap used his Core Process, Creating Awareness, to discover ours. Here are our stories . . .


Nick Heap

"Chris Bull helped me learn my Core Process, Creating Awareness, thirty years ago in ICI. It has stayed with me ever since. I know I love helping people think more broadly and deeply by asking interesting questions, listening and offering challenging ideas. I also love having experiences and learning that stretch my awareness. Helping other people find their Core Processes and have an "aha" moment is immensly rewarding. I feel very privileged to learn about the best of people and know them deeply. I have done this formally as a career counsellor and independently for personal and management development."

"It makes such a difference not only to know you are special but also how you are special. This is a great adventure. Please join us in it."


Tom Evans

"Discovery of my Core Process started the best way possible - with a serendipitous event. I put the wrong fuel in my car and was then two hours late for a networking meeting and the last seat available was next to Nick Heap. We got chatting, I heard about this amazing process, booked myself in and two weeks later found out that my name wasn't Tom Evans but Breathing Life. I now know what I have to do to be happy and productive and what situations I have to avoid. My efficiency has increased at least fourfold."

"How better could I now reciprocate to Nick but to help him Breathe Life into getting the Core Process inside as many people as possible ?"


Christine Clacey

"Going through the Core Process exercise enabled me to not only relive fantastic moments in my life when I had felt most "in the zone", but also to identify what for me is at my core, the thing that makes me unique and at which I excel. Discovering my Core Process, Awakening Souls, that was incredible - I was blown away by it!!! It feels as though I finally understand why I am here, and why I love doing what I do. I can see now I have been searching for this self-knowledge at least for all of my working life, if not longer. It is as though all the pieces of the jigsaw that are me and my life have fallen into place. I can see myself at my best. Seeing that higher purpose in me allows me to better appreciate and accept myself for the value I bring to others too."

"I know this for me will change not just my life but those of all that I come into contact with."

"Discovering my Core Process of Mapping Beauty with Nick made me double up as if I'd been punched in the stomach - literally! It is now my anchor within, helping me to understand more and focus on my strengths, and I've been able to follow my Core Process with friends and clients which is both amazing and uplifting."

"Nick has helped me to find my way home."
