Flavia Pal

Flavia is the editor of the book Choices of Now. She is a former English and French teacher and translator who is striving to utilise her passion for languages to spread and share life-supportive messages with others.  Her journey of change in support of our world started when she decided to adopt a vegan diet three years ago; ever since, she has been working on becoming the change she wishes to see in the world by practising kindness and compassion on a daily basis and by sharing life-supportive practices with those having a genuine interest in making the world a place that all beings can peacefully share.

Agnes Lau

Agnes Lau is a Director, Trainer, NLP & Enneagram Coach of Mind Transformations, Barney’s business partner and co-author of Choices of Now. Her passion and expertise is in coaching, personality profiling and complementary health, where she focuses on increasing one’s overall wellbeing holistically.

She has worked with many organisations including the Institute of Public Administration & Management, Armstrong Industrial Corporation Ltd, Standard Chartered Bank, Rio Tinto Minerals, Rohde & Schwarz Systems & Communications, Asia Business Forum and more.

Previously, Agnes enjoyed a career in research in the civil service and corporate sectors, with a Bachelor of Science (Hons) degree from University College London, U.K., and an M.B.A. from Monash University, Australia. In 1997, she left to find true meaning and purpose in life. Now she feels blessed to be able to share her body-mind-spirit modalities, awakening people to a higher consciousness and connecting with their multi-dimensional selves.

Choices of Now gives Agnes the avenue to reach a wider audience, to connect the current reality with multiple ways one can choose to be life-supportive, and the reasons why personal responsibility for our collective future is in everyone’s hands. She believes that our innate desire for a better world does not have to be a wish, it can be expressed through intelligent and practical choices in our daily lives. This book is Agnes’s way to share her beliefs and practices on how she strives to make the world more harmonious, sustainable and humane.

Barney Wee

Barney Wee is one of the authors of the book Choices of Now. He is the founder of Mind Transformations, an established training, consulting, and coaching company in Southeast Asia, specialised in Neuro-Linguistic Programming, Enneagram, and Quantum Psychology.

Barney is also an Organisational Development Consultant and he has worked with several large organisations, including the Basic Military Training Centre of Singapore, National Healthcare Group Polyclinics, DHL, DBS, Elsevier, Atos Origin, BBC Worldwide Distribution, the National University of Singapore, and many more.

The book Choices of Now is the result of Barney’s extensive research and application of the information into all aspects of his life; he and this book are the living proof that one does not need to be a politician, scientist, billionaire or an expert in ecology to educate oneself, take a stand, and make a positive difference in the world. Barney has set an example for those who want to make the world a better place. He is showing everyone that one does not have to wait for some external authority to take the lead and make a difference. Regardless of education and professional background, anyone can be life-supportive.

Barney is now part of the solution to our global issues by living a life-supportive existence and striving to educate and lead others into a much needed new living paradigm. The motto that has been the driving force for him is, “In the power to change oneself, is the same power to change the world.”—Anwar Sadat.

How can you be the solution to our global problems?

Science and spirituality are uniting to tell us that we have the power to create the kind of future we desire. It is TODAY that you and I must choose how TOMORROW will look like for humanity and our planet.
So come! Join us to find out how we can literally create a beautiful New World, how we – you and I – can make life on our planet sustainable.
The clock is ticking. The choices we individually and collectively make now determine what we will all experience in the near future.
The planet-wide issues that most of us have been confronted with lately are escalating toward a point of no return which is approaching faster than we can imagine.

While not everyone may sense in their daily lives the urgency of needing to take action, the crises affecting most aspets of our lives are very real. What we need is first of all to be aware of what is happening to us; what is happening to our time, work, money, relationships, children, weather, land, water and so on. If we are not aware of the problems we have in the world, we cannot take action to change anything. 
Without realising it, we have brought ourselves very close to what can very possibly be the end of life on earth. Human beings are entirely responsible for the present state of the planet; through our lifestyle – overconsuming planetary resources, our life depletive actions and thoughts we have created a world in which the differences between us are the basis for most of our activities.
The good news is that since we have been capable of bringing about all our multi-systems crises, it is equally in our power to make a change and start creating a new world, one that is based on the things that unite us, that we have in common, in which our activities stem from cooperation and compassion for one another. Imagine what a beautiful world that can be!
If you too believe that a better future is worth creating and that our children are entitled to live, we urge you to get informed (Choice of Now – the book), and to take action – today!
