      <image:caption>I join the Con Versationalist - Con Koutsikas on his podcast to discuss my upbringing as someone born into the Jehovah’s Witness religion. We also touch on my work in business transformation, and what I’ll be doing moving forward to help bring an end to the abuse and harm caused by high-control groups, cult and coercive control.

      <image:title>Home - Who is Christopher Karvountzis?</image:title>
      <image:caption>To be truly effective we need to be driven by a clear sense of purpose. It should guide everything we do, from our interactions with each other through to the design of new programs and services. I believe in the power of strong and effective relationships and thrive on making local and national connections for the benefit of the people and organizations I work with. A confident and proactive communicator, I have the demonstrated ability to speak with conviction and influence, both to large groups in conveying compelling arguments and one-on-one closing deals or communicating sensitive subjects to the media.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>I was going to write my life's defining chapter. And I was going to do so by helping others to do the same.  This was my first experience of true freedom; and it defined my purpose.</image:caption>

      <image:title>My Work - To be truly effective, we need to be driven by a clear sense of purpose.</image:title>
      <image:caption>My purpose is to end the abuse caused by high control groups, cults and other forms of coercive control. This includes educating practitioners, service providers, policymakers, governments, and those affected by such groups. As a former cult member I take an empathy based approach to the subject and seek to help participants understand what the lived reality is for victims of High-control Groups and Coercive control. I breakdown how damaging this is to society in general on a personal, emotional and economic level and most importantly how escape and taking back their lives is possible for victims. The topics below have been designed to be interactive allowing participants to fully unpack topics discussed. Practitioners and service providers find this approach preferable as it allows for learnings to be related to the work environment.</image:caption>
