Executives Report

Stuart and Carol were wonderful.
The session worked extremely well. All were engaged and got so
much from the presentation. Before it ended, Stuart had our entire team
eating from his hand. Everyone was very
complimentary. He hit the right balance and delivered exactly
what we needed. Everyone is still buzzing about the 1/2 day they spent
with them.
Lita B.
Gwinn, Senior Consultant, Verizon,
Data Services Network Operations
Stuart has a very uncommon
perspective. He is very good at seeing the whole picture and all
its components, and in relating it back to us in a way we can
hear. With various team-building exercises, Stuart has helped us
to understand the bigger dynamic of the relationships and to
successfully deal with any reactivity we may have. People can
actually change their behavior in a way that works, and feels
good. The work has helped us to let go of old habits and adopt
new behaviors that support what we want to
accomplish.
Marty
Mazzanti, Chairman of the Board, The
Produce Exchange
I see a direct correlation
between military history and your training as it applies to many
aspects of life. For example, that correlation would pertain in
athletics, personal relationships, parenting, teaching, and certainly
in business.
W.
Don Johnson, Lt. General (ret.) Airforce
This is now a new platform
upon which I can and will build the rest of my life. I am
enormously grateful. You are a powerful example of the kind of
results that acceptance (of both our past actions and our future
possibilities) as well as disciplined study can produce. My
sincere thanks for this contribution to my life and for opening a big
possibility for me for the future for integrating peace, power and
contribution to others.
Ruthe
Otte, former President of Discovery
Channel
This
work
is at the vanguard
of a new discipline: using body movement to impact shifts in people's
behavior and being. This work is much more dramatic, effective
and faster than current conventional practices. Now, when I know
I’m about to go into a challenging situation, I can do a few quick body
exercises to help me accomplish my goal. Stuart has helped me to
recognize certain habitual body moves and postures, that I have adopted
in the past, which work against my intentions. It’s given me the
ability to re-engineer my body, and shift my patterns to become more
effective in situations that are important to
me.
Claire
Conley, former Senior VP, Communispond
How
you
hold your body when
you speak makes a tremendous difference in what is heard by
others. Stuart is very skilled in showing you that. My body
actions were a reflection of the way my mind worked. I became a
lot more aware of the subtle communication I was doing all the time
with its pros and cons Once I realized what I was doing at a
subtle level, I could choose to do more things on a conscious level for
more success. It's allowed me to increase my communication
skills. I learned how to hold my body in a more solid, grounded
way. It's helped me to be heard as a decisive leader.
Gail
DaMert, CEO, DaMert Company
I
think
that what happens
when you are stressed is that you can't think straight. Working with
Stuart, I learned a physical movement that actually helps relieve the
pressure, and helps me to think clearly again. I get up, walk in
a circle and look at the ceiling with palms up. Previously, I
would feel more and more angry, pent up. Then I would lose it,
and not think clearly. I would not get a desired result. I
would be in a place of pressure, distress, not in a problem-solving
mode.
Steve
Isaacs, CEO, Co-op Communications
I've
become
a more effective
leader. My past management style was very hands-on, very
emotional, very high energy. In the past, when I worked with
people day in and day out, they knew my style, appreciated it and
respected me for what I was able to help them be and become. If I
wanted to continue to lead people I had to learn a new way to do it and
Stuart helped me to do that. In my latest position I have less
dealings with people on a daily basis. Stuart offered me an
opportunity to be in control of a situation, be able to get the same
results I always have, but in a more effective way.

"Dr. Move"
Heller
|
Stuart Heller provides a concrete,
practical, learnable, comprehensive and
brilliant de-construction of becoming. It is an embodied
integration of East and West knowledge unlike anything that has been
attempted. He is the Mozart of consciousness study –
a master artist whose
work is inspired and filled with the mystery of self-discovery.
Dr. Move has opened the
door to a universe of body/mind bending discovery that can change
everything!

Surrenda Ph. D., Consultant and Executive Coach,

As
T.S.
Eliot
wrote, "The end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started
and know the place for the first time." Stuart Heller has done
this
profound inner exploration. His book, The Dance of Becoming,
shows us
how to relax, feel, and observe deeply enough to find our way to the
source of our own movement. It is a key to the universal
birthright of
power and wonder which lies dormant within us. It is the
embodiment of
T'ai Chi in a personal form.
Fredric
Lehrman, Author of The Sacred Landscape
Senior Student of
Master Cheng Man-Ch'ing
I
view
Stuart Heller as a
scholar and teacher of the most complex
systems-of-systems that exists: the
human. In
that
sense,
he is truly a
systems engineer.

Karate
(Retooling on the Run) is the
only book we've
seen that acknowledges body-attention as central to strategies for
personal and organizational development. Imagine what would
happen if
our national leaders were to read and take to heart the lessons
in this book!
Yoga
Journal
The Dance
of Becoming has a familiar, curt, classical Chinese
flavor. In the spirit of the Nan Ching, the Book of Difficult
Issues, Heller raises important questions that are usually passed over
in favor
of answers that are easier to grasp. This book makes accessible
the lesser
known
creative and evolutionary side of Chinese medicine. This is where
Chinese medicine should begin.

Stuart Heller is a Wind
Horseman. If you haven't yet learned to feel the
subtle wind/mind, he will
teach you. If you already
work with it, Stuart will
definitely improve your
practice. He
continues to benefit my practice.
The
Venerable
Lhundup Nyingje, Paula Chichester
What I appreciate the most about Stuart’s
approach is his wealth of
“real life” experience
and knowledge of his topic. He shows simple and elegant ways to pay
attention to the body as a
domain of learning and introduces
ways of easily changing
long (held) habits.
Carol
Courcy, MCC, VP,
The Newfield
Network, Inc.
Stuart Heller (aka Dr. Move) is a true
master in his field. Any time I have tested and tried what he has
said about movement and embodiment, he has been correct.
Donna
Reeder, Reeder Literary Services
Stuart opens up whole new worlds you never imagined
existed. Every session has at least one jaw
dropper. The perspectives he illuminates are just as
amazing as if he asked while reaching over to touch your wall - "Did
you ever considering using this room in here?" and an unseen door opens
up in the wall revealing a magnificent room you never knew or expected
was there!
Kevin
Kelly, The Home Planet
I love how you wrap words around the intangible and bring it into
being, full bodied, though the conceptual frame!

Comments About Our Programs
|
"The workshop has fundamentally changed
the way I work with clients. I am more grounded, centered, powerful and
effective."
"I received learnings,
exercises, and applications that I immediately incorporated into my own
life and into my coaching practice."
"I learned
far more than
I would have expected. The Heller's are extraordinary teachers
who kept my attention through all 3 days."
"They
brought a
lightness and humor to their work that assisted in being an observer of
their work. The ability to make it simple, joyful and easily
understood was a true gift."
"This work
brings an
added dimension of understanding the client that (verbal) language
based
coaching cannot discover. The combination of language and body
movement is a powerful combination."
"This stood
apart from
most training, most workshops as one of the few truly practical - in
the full sense of that word - programs for learning and doing. It
presented an opportunity to tap into the vast, often unrecognized
reservoir of data in our everyday experience and figure out how to use
it in our interactions."
"Stuart and
Carol
brought a new awareness and appreciation of how powerfully our own
bodies communicate both to our own consciousness and to others. Through
practice and observation we 'remembered' how much we can observe and
without making an interpretation offer suggestions for transformation
and learning. Their own lightness lent energy to the days and lots of
laughter."
"I walked
away with
practices that I used immediately with clients. These practices
are simple and very powerful. I enjoy observing clients watch how
they
are trapped by certain physical states and watching their excitement
when they realize there is another way they can be. Stuart and
Carol are very generous in what they offer coaches. This is the perfect
compliment to the ontological distinctions I learned through Newfield."
"I always
bring very high expectations – as a colleague, as a learner,
as a customer – and this workshop met them. I choose the workshop
because I was aware that life had very specifically taught me to ignore
the non-verbal dimension of communication and I wished to recover
it. This workshop was a great place to start. The content
was both intriguing intellectually as well as fascinating to experiment
with and observe in practice. I appreciated the very relaxed and
open atmosphere created by the Heller’s for the workshop – a great one
for learning."
"I have been
practicing some of the exercises every day - with myself
and my clients. I feel like I have entered a brand new playground
and my clients are loving it."
"The
non-verbal distinctions they showed us have both grounded and
enlivened my work. The positive feedback from my clients assures
me that what Carol and Stuart have to offer is exceptional
stuff."
"Being in
the program reminded me to start where my clients actually
are and - to be most effective - to be simple."
"I have
intuitively known for some time that I needed to be in better
touch with my body, and that the key to change lay in that realm, but I
had no clear idea how to gain access. So many possibilities have opened
that I didn't know were there, both over the weekend, and since, as I
continue the practices. Thank you."
"The
brilliance of the format is it allows coaches to observe
patterns and practice what they have learned on clients‚ in a safe
environment right there, right now. You get to learn the material in
one minute and apply it the next. And you get instant feedback from the
person being coached."
"They have
taken the best of their work and put it together in a clear,
concise, easy to use way and have given simple, straight forward
practices to use with clients that are powerful, efficient, and
amazingly self-revealing. This workshop provides elegant tools for both
the experienced and inexperienced coach."
