We are Beth Banning and Neill Gibson, the founders of Focused Attention. We have spent most of our adult lives studying, trying out, and practicing personal development and relationship-building techniques. Combined, we have over 50 years of experience exploring the work of many spiritual leaders and experts in the human potential movement, such as Ram Dass, Carl Jung, Carl Rogers, Marshall Rosenberg, Martin Buber, Byron Katie, Abraham Maslow, Caroline Myss, Napoleon Hill, Maxwell Maltz, Gary Zukav, Dan Millman, and Marianne Williamson.

Our vision is a global culture that embraces the values of abundance, prosperity, and inter-reliance--one that promotes "the evolution of everyone." A world that has shed the illusion of scarcity and the desire for domination, which has for so long promoted our culture of "the survival of the fittest."

Our goal is to make a significant contribution to this shift by offering concrete, practical skills that help people exchange ideas and resources in harmony with their most deeply held values, and by living the principles and practices we offer through our work.

For the past five years we've offered seminars and materials that provide people with skills and understanding that allow them to make remarkable improvements in the quality of their relationships and their lives. In addition to learning new skills for communicating more effectively, they emerge with a whole new way of relating to themselves and to their world.

Our workshops have helped people create happy marriages, co-parenting relationships have miraculously changed, and people actually want to go to work because they enjoy their work environment for the first time. Our results have become consistent and predictable. 80% of our graduates tell us that their relationships with their families, their friends, and their colleagues have improved remarkably, and in ways that endure.

We're awed, inspired, and grateful to be able to contribute to these results through our Focused Attention work.
