Hi! I’m Jane. I am an author, speaker and consultant on change and also the Founder and CEO of Life’s Natural Solutions, a consulting and education service providing thinking tools for change though the lens of how we think both in self development and sustainability.
What do I know about change? A lot!
Having spent decades of my life in an attempt to understand what this means not only for myself in the context of self development and growth but also on a much larger scale, environmental change, as human beings are damaging the environment and planet as a whole on which we and all species depend; it all comes down to one thing, how we think. This is both the problem and solution for change.
Change requires awareness of what we are doing in thinking, how we are thinking.
How we think is not only the source of fears and negative thinking that runs and impacts ourselves, our lives, our choices, decisions and actions including how we relate with others, it is also the source of how we perceive the environment and the planet as a whole where we do not see the impact of our thoughts and actions. As a result, we are damaging and destroying the very thing that sustains us and all life. In essence, we are both the problem and solution for change.
MY BACKGROUND
I am the author of three books - Living Systems: An Introductory Guide to the Theories of Humberto Maturana & Francisco Varela, The Circularity of Life: An Essential Shift for Sustainability and WTF!?...How am I thinking?: A Thinking Tool For Change, my latest book.
I am an expert on the Biology of Cognition, the work of Chilean Biologist and Systems Thinker, Prof. Humberto Maturana who has received many international awards for his ground breaking work, the theories of living systems, perception and the biology of cognition.
I have given many talks, workshops and seminars on the Biology of Cognition to a vast array of academic and non-academic audiences in both Australia and the United States.
I am a former Associate Editor of the Journal of Applied Systems Studies, a bi-annual academic journal dedicated to applied systems theory and am part of the Great Transition Initiative (GTI), an international network of scholars and activists that analyzes alternative scenarios and charts a path to a hopeful future. I am a former member of the Advisory Board of the Barcelona Consensus, a project dedicated to transitioning to a sustainable society. I also initiated and led a global campaign to transition to a sustainable economy, Circular Economy.
