Overview
Richard Barrett was years – if not decades – ahead of his time when he set out to make the world a better place by supporting leaders to transform themselves as a path to transforming their organizations. Emphasizing alignment of personal and organizational values through the company that he founded, The Barrett Values Centre. BVC has been successful in contributing to the evolution of humanity into higher levels of consciousness through its most influential forum - business.
Now Richard turns his attention to a new endeavour, The Barrett Academy for the Advancement of Human Values. The Barrett Academy was created by Richard Barrett in 2018 to give a broader focus to the mission of the Barrett Values Centre®.
Based in London, The Barrett Academy is an international think-tank which seeks to provide evidence-based practical advice on the evolution of human consciousness. The purpose of the The Barrett Academy is to discover, incubate and develop ideas, concepts and practices that support the evolution of human consciousness.
