The Map of Meaning is a core framework for supporting the necessary inner development of skills, qualities and ways of being needed to to live meaningful and sustainable lives.
“The Map is an indispensable tool to keep us whole. It will save us from burnout; it will save us from cynicism. It’s totally non-judgemental. It's like a key that unlocks all that is important to us as human beings. As a consultant working in developed and developing countries this framework gives me a simple way to profoundly engage with people across cultures.”

Future Considerations
"We used the Map of Meaning® with a group of secondary school leavers as part of a Future Leaders program. They were able to connect to what their true motivations were, find their strengths and use this to make choices about their future education and write powerful 'personal statements' for their university applications."
Director
Toi Whakaari New Zealand Drama School
"We have been applying aspects of the Map of Meaning® here in classes in management and leadership at Toi Whakaari New Zealand Drama School over the last seven years. Students have found this frame an invaluable tool for orienting themselves in the face of what they see as an insurmountable range of paradoxes presented by our modern world. They ask themselves; how can I effect change ethically and meaningfully when my needs and those of the world, my values and the direction of society seem so at odds. Working with this frame has brought integration and empowerment, clarity and personal commitment to these students. It’s great to see it in its published form."
Program Participant
"After participating in this session I believe now more than ever that positive well-being is very important. First of all, because it influences our feelings, our thoughts, and our existence and, secondly, our interaction with other people and the connection with ourselves."
Course Participant
"Change involves disruption, the Map helps you keep adjusting while never losing connection with what matters most to you. It helps us have realistic hope."
Course participant
Employee of a Corporation
"I had become overly task-oriented serving the organisation and others but had lost all unity with co-workers and it was even affecting relationships outside of work. Seeing it this way allows me to ground myself and take back personal control and try not to isolate myself but simply 'be with' others."
Dr. Peter D
Lead Partner Healthcare Centre UK
"The Map of Meaning® helped us not just to hone our purpose, but also to show us the gaps between our actions and our intent, and to set the foundations for enabling us to live that purpose. The process was enlightening and fun; and it really brings together our being and our doing."
Senior Lecturer
Australian Catholic University
"In a relaxed and peaceful environment, this workshop gave me a wonderful opportunity to look at the heart of my organisation and see where I could personally make a contribution to a deeper understanding of its spirit."
Dave Burton
Potential Development
In an organisation where people expressed what was not working. The outcome was "People had been concerned that it was going to be a bitch session and instead it was tremendously positive."
CEO
Non Profit Organisation, Tasmania
"As you are aware the team is relatively new and your guidance using the Map of Meaning® helped us develop a strong commitment to working together and leading our staff into the future. It allowed us to explore our differences and develop respect for each other. We used this to develop a terms of reference that will guide us to work together. This then allowed us to look positively into the future and develop a strong set of goals that will take us forward."
School Trustee
United Kingdom
"The Trustees and senior leadership group from our special needs residential school used Map of Meaning® to guide our awayday at a time when we faced a difficult choice over closing one unit. We greatly appreciated how, through the Map, a potentially fraught conversation changed into a decision that seemed almost to "make itself".
