Welcome to “The Change Catalyst”

If you are the kind of person who is always looking to improve yourself: welcome!  I have dedicated the last 10 years of my life to getting myself into a space where I can say that I am getting healthier, happier, wealthier and am giving back more to society than I was 10 years ago. I hope to say the same thing in another 10 years time.

The Change Catalyst is a concept I came up with when I was thinking through the major transition points in my life (coming to Asia, quitting alcohol, becoming vegetarian, leaving the corporate world) and I always felt that although I eventually made my change happen, it would have been great to do it a little quicker.

Hence the idea of a catalyst.  A catalyst according to The New Choice English Dictionary is “A substance, which accelerates or retards a chemical reaction without itself undergoing any permanent chemical change.” In fact some catalysts (enzymes for example) can accelerate the rate of reaction between 106 and 1012 times - that’s the equivalent of accelerating a life span of 100 years into the space of a second!

Wow! Wouldn’t it be cool if you could speed up your own personal development by even a fraction of that.  I hope that The Change Catalyst will help you get to where you need to go a little bit quicker.
