Start Clean and Stay Clean
Soulwork Systemic Coaching
is a resource for professional coaching. As Soulwork expands, we need to
examine, clarify and minimize any risk of cultism or cult-like behavior.
Soulwork represents integrity, choice and freedom. Many cults represent
conflict, obsession and bondage. As systemic coaching moves towards international
recognition, integrity can be our compass and vigilance is our
responsibility.
M. Scott Peck’s analysis of communities and cults offers an excellent format
for examining an organization's authority, individuality and spirituality.

AUTHORITY
1. Charismatic Founder
A “charismatic founder” is characteristic of organizations - and
cults. It is hard to develop a group of leaders,
and although consensus decision-making is a nice concept, it is usually
ineffective. We
encourage independence, not only for organizational health but because we
fear undue responsibility.
2. Inner Circle
An “Inner Circle” is characteristic of organizations – and cults.
Every large political party, corporation, university, church, etc has an
inner circle. We are creating a professional service organization - and we do not
want it to be revered. We are fortunate to have the friendship and
mentorship of people from many countries, each with proven
expertise in key areas.
3. Management Secrecy
Secrecy is characteristic of organizations – and cults. Many details of
your government are shrouded in secrecy. Corporations in your country
protect their commercial secrets. We plan that Soulwork will be transparent;
although we support privacy and we will attempt to control information that can
be misused by untrained people.
4. Financial Openness
Financial evasiveness is characteristic of organizations – and cults.
Financial secrecy may contaminate our role. We advocate financial
transparency.
5. Dependency
Authoritarian leadership is characteristic of organizations – and
cults. It encourages members to become or to remain dependent. We encourage
Soulwork coaches to be independent.
INDIVIDUALITY
6. Conformity
Conformity is characteristic of organizations – and cults. Consider
militaries and large companies such as IBM. Soulwork encourages
individuality and appreciates diversity.
7. Special Language
A “specialized language” is characteristic of organizations – and cults.
Groups that work together often develop jargon. Consider
computers and psychology. Such jargon can become a secret language. Soul
Centered Changework uses unusual diagnostic terms – and we strive to keep
our terms simple and easy to understand.
8. Dogmatic Doctrine
Norms and doctrines are characteristic of
organizations– and cults. In cults, theories became dogma. Soulwork Systemic
Coaching discerns between theories and what can be readily demonstrated.
SPIRITUALITY
9. Doing good
Some cults are obsessive and distrust individual excellence. We applaud competence and
we distrust obsession. Soulwork is based on integrity. Instead of asking people to
have faith, we repeatedly demonstrate whatever we describe.
10. Relationship with God
Some cults claim to “define” God. We minimize "God talk" and esoteric
concepts throughout Soulwork. We provide experiences and demonstrations that
allow people to check what is effective. We recognize,
accept and encourage people – whether they have spiritual, religious, agnostic or atheistic beliefs.
