What is Continuous Renewal -
Personal, Relationship & Organizational Renewal for Sustainable Bottom-Line Results

Renew: To make like new, to restore to freshness, vigor or perfection.

Continuous Renewal is an organization of men and women dedicated to helping successful people create transformational improvements in their business and personal lives.  Mot importantly it is a new way of life.

Continuous Renewal staff is committed to transforming every home and workplace into a university of life - it all centers on the individual and all their relationships. 
~ John Konstanturos, Founder of Continuous Renewal

With Continuous Renewal you will transform the quality of your communication and relationship skills in your personal life and in your organization.   You will enjoy creating relationships that embrace personal responsibility and accountability as core values; essential building blocks of success.  Through one-on-one coaching, structured personal development programs, and retreats, Continuous Renewal guides you in breaking through old patterns of thinking and behaving and generating entirely new relationships within yourself, your life, and in your organizations.  You will learn to use and teach innovative processes that combine ancient wisdom with leading-edge self-improvement technology as you soon begin to experience a shift into the quality of life you deserve.

We have heard that when the student is ready, the teacher will appear. 

Meaning is not something you stumble across, like the answer to a riddle or the prize in a treasure hunt. Meaning is something you build into your life. ~ John Gardner

We work with individuals and organizations to lead you through the critical changes essential to achieving higher levels of performance, while improving the quality of work at life and the quality of life at work.
Formerly known as Konstanturos and Associates LLC, Continuous Renewal was founded by John Konstanturos as a manifestation of his own lifelong pursuit of renewal.  Based on lessons learned from 25 years of helping business leaders achieve superior results in their companies and in their personal lives, John has translated these lessons into powerful methodologies that build exciting futures beyond those possibilities once believed possible.

This sustainable, results-oriented developmental process enables you to move beyond those self-limiting addictions, such as the need to be right, choosing to respond with comfort over truth—and to grow into a new life of wisdom, purpose and contribution that you desire.  By working on the challenges and issues that most companies ignore, you can develop the leadership skills and organizational competencies that drive sustained growth and profitability in today’s highly competitive markets.

If we all did the things we are capable of doing, we would literally astound ourselves.
~ Thomas Edison

A Lifelong Process
Continuous Renewal is a developmental process and it is the name of our organization.

As an integrative process, Continuous Renewal emphasizes the combination of traditional personal development methods -- such as learning, exercise, healthy nutrition and regular checkups with your doctor -- with the rarely practiced dimensions of renewing the thought processes that drive our reactions and behaviors, our feelings, and our capacity for the spiritual and social dimensions such as love, peace of mind and execution.  You will more often experience greater mastery of your thoughts and reactions, and less often the slave to your unseen habits that diminish and sabotage the quality of your life and the growth of your organization.

Continuous Renewal - How it Works & Benefits

An Integrative Approach to Personal Growth and Development

All of us are as unaware of our blind spots as fish are unaware of the water they swim in. Mistakes Were Made - but not by me ~ Carole Tavris and Elliot Aronson

Continuous Renewal guides you into those deep, dark areas that harbor the blind spots, bad habits and negative thought patterns that inhibit personal growth and damage important relationships.  Through a gentle process of self-examination and personal accountability, you will learn to move beyond your self-imposed limitations and engage in a lifelong process of renewal that improves every facet of your life.

To assist in improving your work/life balance and achieving your life goals, Continuous Renewal offers workshops, training and coaching in the areas of:

  • Complete and lasting resolution of “impossible” issues in your personal life,
    your relationships and your business life
  • Building families and management teams that thrive rather than just survive
  • Personal and family renewal planning
  • Personal goal setting
  • Developing personal, family and organizational purpose statements
  • Spiritual coaching and mentoring
  • Discovering the “gifts” in recovering from setbacks and loss
  • Succession planning

Rather than customary “canned” approaches, each training program is custom designed to meet your unique personal renewal needs.  Presentations and retreats are also available upon request. For more information on these programs, please click here to contact us.

All improvements of relationships, families, groups, organizations and nations must, of necessity, begin with improvements with the individual – within our selves.

True regime change begins within, by freeing ourselves from the tyranny of our own confusions, delusions, shortsightedness and myopic concerns. . . . We become more aware of the profound interdependence of all things and the far-reaching influence of our decisions as they ripple out into the world and into the lives of countless beings.  And we come to live and lead in ways that encourage confidence in others willing to work with us in stewarding the emergent potentials for a better world.
~ Integrative Leadership, Richard John & Lilas Marie Hatala

Transform The Quality of Your Life

Personal renewal involves developing new attitudes, skills and techniques for getting more out of life.  When you engage in Continuous Renewal’s life-changing process you will:

Develop a personalized game plan for renewing your relationship to your thoughts, emotions and spirituality.

Personal renewal is not to be confused with adding new ideas to ways of producing results in your life.  It generates clarity of desired results and developing commitments that produce the outcomes you intended.  Sustainable outcomes become a habit that you will enjoy.

Feel physically and mentally sharper than you have in years.

Learning to overcome self-limiting thoughts and behavior patterns frees up energy that has been bottled up inside, often for years.  Increased energy produces greater integration of mind and body, enabling you to achieve more than you ever believed possible.

Reduce anxiety, worry and stress by reducing your own contribution to the damage you produce to your health, and relationships.

Our anxiety and the physical impact of stress on our health and well-being is self-induced, created by our own negative thoughts and emotions.  Working with Continuous Renewal, you will learn how to reduce anxiety and stress by developing a fresh and impactful relationship to those thoughts and feelings that produce unhealthy results in your life and too often detract from the enjoyment of interactions with important people in your life..

Resolve conflicts in your personal, family and business relationships.

Failed relationships are often your primary obstacle to living a happy and fulfilling life. 

You will become skilled at resolving long-standing avoidances, blaming and conflicts, and become your own coach in preventing or quickly resolving future relationship issues. 

You will develop deeper, more intimate relationships with your loved ones.  Family and friends will come to you for guidance in resolving their own issues. 

You will be sought after as a mentor in transcending the blame game.

Discover and build a sustainable commitment to your purpose in life.

When what’s next seems to lack clear direction, often it’s due to the need for focus, clarity and alignment on your purpose.  Through gentle, guided self-exploration, Continuous Renewal coaches you in discovering your true inner purpose and guides you in developing strategies for actualizing that purpose. 

Enjoy a more positive outlook on life.

By connecting with your thoughts, emotions and spirituality at a deeper level, you will discover a fresh relationship with and commitment to your purpose in life.  You will find inner peace and experience more joy and happiness in all facets of your life.

The Continuous Renewal process has proven successful with thousands of Executives, organizations and individuals throughout the U.S., Canada and Australia.  To find out how it can transform the quality of your life, please click here to contact us.

We are personally responsible for most of the major events in our lives and for all our responses to these events.  Recognition of this fact opens up a vision of human reality that is at once vivid and durable.  In addition, it relieves us of the strain occasioned by the excess baggage of self-excusing fictions. ~ THE GRACE OF GREAT THINGS, Robert Grudin

A Track Record of Results - Why Choose Us

I will pay more for the ability to deal with people than for any other ability under the sun.
~ John D. Rockefeller

Although the work of Continuous Renewal is sometimes described as the “soft” side of business, this work never fails to produce tangible bottom-line results.  Here are some of the results our clients typically achieve:

  • Improved communication.  People learn how to present and resolve issues without blaming each other.  They develop the critical skills of listening and giving positive, actionable feedback and correction rather than polarizing criticism.
  • Conflict resolution.  By learning how to build trusting relationships, people feel safe in bringing forward the disagreements they typically hide under the table.  Hidden agendas are eliminated and personal conflicts get resolved in a timely and constructive manner. 
  • Enhanced creativity.  When people feel safe in expressing their differing viewpoints, they readily bring forward their best thinking and creative ideas.  The discomfort produced by innovative ideas is dramatically  reduced when  divergent thinking replaces convergent thinking in the dialogue.
  • Improved leadership skills.   Leaders at all levels of the organization learn to communicate more effectively and give appreciative feedback while holding themselves and each other more accountable.
  • Beyond agreement to Organizational alignment.  When people feel heard and appreciated, it creates greater alignment with the vision.  When people are aligned with the vision, they work with each other rather than against what the whole organization must achieve.
  • Tangible results.  Long-standing bottlenecks are eliminated or significantly reduced.  Employees, customers and suppliers develop deeper, more committed relationships with the company.  Goals and objectives are set and achieved, often in record time.

What do these results look like in the real world?  At Continuous Renewal we have:

  • Coached the CEO and senior management team of a struggling drug development company from internal management chaos and near bankruptcy to a complete turnaround, both financially and culturally.  In a little more than 18 months of working with Continuous Renewal, the company went from almost no cash flow and plunging stock prices to introducing a successful new drug in record time and being purchased by an industry giant at nearly 10 times what the stock had sold for two years earlier. 
  • Facilitated the development and implementation of a succession plan for a $2.5 million family business in the environmental and natural disaster structural standards industry.   The plan involved intensive teambuilding, transition workshops, relationship coaching between the owners and the new CEO, and the structuring of a successful earnout package.   Seven years later, the company had obtained $8.1 billion in guaranteed federal government contracts. 

  • Coached and mentored the management team of a medical supplies manufacturer that was being torn apart by politics, internal dissension and lack of leadership skills.  Resolution included off-site retreats to build facilitative leadership and conflict resolution skills.  Morale improved and the company enjoyed a huge upswing in performance, results and profits.
  • Helped a large Canadian family-business consulting firm with multiple offices overcome severe internal dissension because of a president who was not liked or respected by the regional managers.  Continuous Renewal implemented an intensive personal and company renewal program including team building and facilitative leadership programs involving executives from all the offices throughout Canada.   Within three years, the company increased profits by more than 20 percent annually and outperformed all their competitors in spite of a steadily declining market.
