CP Training with 'cult'characteristics (29/07/2010)
The World
The following account has been given by a person who attended a Common Purpose course involving families and children. Participants are encouraged to reveal highly personal information in front of strangers, the event is tightly controlled e.g. no going to the toilet and when the person decides that they do not like the training and want to withdraw they experience hostility. These are all characteristics of cult type training, including religious cults, where people can become changed to the cult agenda in a matter of days. Imagine what would be happening in society if Common Purpose was using 'cult' techniques to implement a political agenda to change people'e behaviour to conform with their vision of a new utopian society. We would start to see people making strange decisions, acting outside their authority and acting against common sense and common decency. Isn't this exactly what is happening. Zenna Atkins a Common Purpose leader and former Chairman of Ofsted the schools inspection body was recently quoted as saying that "we need more bad teachers!".
Her reason is so that young children can learn how to to deal with "shit" teachers - (her word not mine). Many people labelled her words madness, but in reality she believes what she says. Under the marxist doctrine the existing western society and democracy must be destroyed from within before the new marxist state can be built. Destroying education allows the state to claim children through their ignorance and their vulnerability to state propaganda. Wherever you see common purpose and a 'change' agenda, you are really looking at subversion to destroy families and our existing democracy. Most CP people will be totally unaware that they have been subjected to this type of 'cult' training. They will be totally unaware of the fact that they have been subjected to NLP to change their thoughts and behaviour. Such training without their consent represents assault.CP Said Business School Oxford University Heather Katz Psychotherapy (02/04/2009)
Oxford
CP is now linked to Oxford Said Business School. Said Business school is linked to Paris based business schools specialising in NLP. Here we see a Said Business School associate trained in psychotherapy. Neuro Linguistic Programming, psychotherapy and Common Purpose's Kolb mind training. Oh what a tangled web for our new 'leaders of society'. Do they know who they are after re-framing?
CP links with Oxford University Said Business School (01/02/2009)
Oxford
Web advert for a combined course with CP and Said Business School Oxford University. Interestingly, research suggests that the CP leadership, diversity and behavioural training programmes largely originated from Oxford University in the late 1960s early 1970s. The courses were then aimed at relations between 'blue and white collar workers'. The objective of behavioural modification was the same. Links have been found between Said Business school and Paris based business experts in the field of Neural Linguistic Programming. Oh what a dangerous tangled web. Please investigate and find out for yourself.
Common Purpose advice on countering resistance to their advance of change (13/11/2008)
UK
Excerpt from a Common Purpose document which gives advice to graduates on how to overcome objectors and resistance, or people who say NO! The whole theme is that the Common Purpose plan must be rolled forward whoever raises objections and however pertinent those objections may be. There are more graphic descriptions of how Common Purpose graduates should overcome resistance or 'black holes' in Julia MIddleton's book: Beyond Authority. Try to borrow it, as although interesting from an analysis point of view, it is not worth the money.
Common Purpose links with ARK, Teachfirst and Tavistock Institute (05/11/2008)
England
This summary kindly provided by Ms Cassie shows links between Common Purpose, Absolute Return for Kids ARK (already being researched for its suspect activity with children and big business Academy Schools), Teachfirst (a 'leadership' teaching recruitment organisation), and the Tavistock Institute (home of mind control techniques). Just what are these people up to? Are our children safe?
Shocking expose of Common Purpose behavioural training of Police Officers (02/11/2008)
England
Shocking document exposing mental re-framing of police officers using psychometric tests, personality instruments, neuro linguistic programming, and more. Read summary CVs detailing the future of policing; the psychological contract; the role of qualifications within the police professionalisation agenda; the blame culture within the organisation and the paradigm change needed for police reform; and whether centralized policy unduly influences leadership style. Just what is the PARADIGM CHANGE needed for police reform? How does European mentoring and Coaching help our police to uphold law and order and catch criminals? Are police officers aware that they are having their beliefs and values changed by neuro linguistic techniques? Does this explain why are police are becoming more aggressive and domineering? Does it explain why they are obsessed with Political Correctness and Diversity? Are the police training colleges insured for claims for the mental illness that can occur after neuro linguistic and hypnosis?
Suffolk County Council spends over £400,000 on leadership training with NLP. (02/11/2008)
Suffolk
News paper article exposing Suffolk CC spending over £400,000 on leadership training using Neuro Linguistic programming. The article does not mention Common Purpose but the training appears of the same type and participants in the course will not be aware of the full impact of the psychology being used on them. NLP carries a risk of mental illness and depression for example, particularly in those who already have mental health problems. How did we function as an honest orderly and efficient nation previously? Why do we now need to be NL Programmed?
Conservative leader David Cameron uses psychometric testing (13/10/2008)
UK
Daily Mail report that Conservative Party Leader David Cameron MP is driving the use of psychometric testing within the Conservative Party. Aside from the unethical 'testing' of individuals personalities by others, the real danger of this testing is that it allows personalities who are susceptible to 'mental reframing' to be identified. Cameron is already linked to Common Purpose and his drive for psychometric testing would facilitate the use of Common Purpose type behavioural or experiencial reframing, or other mind control techniques and training within the Tory party. Such training may be labelled 'leadership', 'empowerment', 'stress management' or 'diversity' training for example. All of these psychological training techniques pose a risk to individuals personality and mental health.
Description of psychological manipulation within a Local Authority (30/09/2008)
Sheffield
This document provides a very astute analysis of a disfunctional Local Authority and the use of psychological techniques to control people within the organisation, and to attack those challenging the practices of the Local Authority. Is this description Common Purpose at work? Where did the individuals learn such practices? Were they taught them, and if so where? We leave you to judge. Comments on this article would be appreciated, especially from those witnessing or experiencing such practices.
Research showing teaching connections between ARK, Teachfirst and Common Purpose (30/09/2008)
UK
Research document which shows a number of interesting connection between ARK, Teachfirst and Common Purpose. CP is associated with Teachfirst, and Teachfirst works in partnership with ARK. Teachfirst offer their ambassadors a one thousand pound discount to go on Common Purpose courses. ‘Teachfirst’ works in partnership with ARK (Absolute Return for Kids), NCSL (National College for School Leadership), ‘Teaching Leaders’ and ‘Future Leaders.’
Teachfirst ‘headhunts’ graduates and gives them 6 weeks teacher training, after which they are placed in schools, with a Teachfirst mentor, gaining qualified teacher status after two years. So, plenty of ‘guidance’ from the likes of Goldman Sachs along the road to becoming one of the ‘future leaders’. The Goldman Sachs Foundation is working closely with Teachfirst. Teachfirst also has an interest in developing teachers’ behaviour. However, students get no experience of being inside schools, and wouldn’t recognize typical or atypical behaviour in a school.
What are these organisations doing with our children and what are they doing to the people teaching our children? Are you happy for strange organisations to mix Experiencial and Behavioural psychology with education....all funded by major commercial interests and big banks? Thanks Caz for the research.

CP Mind Control Experiential and Behavioral Training David Kolb CV 2006 (20/08/2008)
USA
CP website www.commonpurpose.net quotes “(CP)Uses brain-washing techniques?” No. Common Purpose programmes use experiential training techniques and a set of conventions to promote mutually respectful behaviour among all participants. There are no tests. There are no brain-washing techniques. There is no coercion. No programme participant is required to complete a programme if they elect not to do so or to have any continuing contact with Common Purpose should they wish not to do so once the programme ends. The vast majority of participants complete their programmes, often returning to undertake further development training and enjoy gaining access to the Common Purpose graduate network. Experiential learning is a widely used methodology and is largely associated with David A. Kolb (Professor of Organizational Behavior in the Weatheread School of Management). unquote. See web info on work by Kolb including links to Jung.

CP Mind Control Adaptive Flexibility David Kolb 2000 (20/08/2008)
USA
Work by CP's guru Kolb. Note reference to works of Jung: "Jung discovered the universal mandala symbol in many cultures and religions throughout time representing this holistic, dynamic adaptive process. Mandala means circle, an eternal process where endings become beginnings again and again. "The mandala form is that of a flower, cross, or wheel with a distinct tendency toward quadripartite structures." (Jung, 1931, p.100) It often represents dual polarities, the integration of which fuels the endless circular process of knowing. "Psychologically this circulation would be a 'turning in a circle around oneself': whereby all sides of the personality become involved. They cause the poles of light and darkness to rotate..." (p104). In their theories of experiential learning Jean Piaget, William etc etc". CP now trains young children. For general research on mind techniques see also "Creative Visualisation" used by Leeds Education and others.
CP Mind Control Experiencial Learning in Teams David Kolb 2000 (20/08/2008)
USA
Note pages 19,20,21 where: "Mills’ model is useful in defining the issues about purpose and goals that are important as a team develops from a group of individuals into a highly effective team. Early in development, teams focus primarily on their individual concerns and goals. Only later do group members become a team and focus on a collective purpose". CP sets the common purpose as with their discussions on Curfews for 16 year old for example. The team members are taught how to have authority outside of their organisations.....an area for which they are not accountable to anyone, least of all the taxpayer. By this means CP can encourage the Chief Constable of Devon and Cornwall e.g. Maria Wallis for example to have a 'collective purpose' in European power politics for example.
CP Participant Quotes (10/08/2008)
UK
CP flyer giving participant quotes to show how good the course is. Comments by Susan Rice Chief Executive Lloyds TSB Scotland are interesting..."There are no easy answers and Common Purpose is no easy ride. It challenges every personal and professional prejudice you have. It's unsettling. It's also the best learning I've ever done". Has Ms Rice got more predjudices than the rest of us? Has Common Purpose eliminated those predjudices? Why is she unsettled? Some people report "Common Purpose has changed my whole world" ....others say "I'm ready to take my place in society". Richard Sambrook Director BBC news talks of "a generation looking to change the world......." Just what does CP do with people? Judge for yourselves by reading the material on this site.
