Arbinger is a worldwide consulting company comprised of people who have been trained in business, law, economics, philosophy, family dynamics, education, coaching, and psychology. The members of Arbinger are mobilized to help organizations, communities, individuals, families, educators, those in the criminal justice system, and helping professionals. Arbinger claims that their clients range from individuals who are seeking help in their lives to many of the largest companies and governmental institutions in the world.
Arbinger is led internationally by managing directors Jim Ferrell, Duane Boyce, and Paul Smith. Local managing directors guide Arbinger's work in territories around the world. It has grown from a small organization with only ten facilitators and staff members in 2000 to an international organization with over 300 facilitators, coaches, and staff members. They offer public courses, consulting and coaching services, and tailored organizational interventions (including train-the-trainer options). These services are offered by in person seminars, online video courses, professional mastery courses, and facilitator training.
The word "arbinger" is the ancient French spelling of the word "harbinger." It means "one that indicates or foreshadows what is to come; a forerunner." The Arbinger Institute is a forerunner or "harbinger" of change. Arbinger's mission grows out of the work of an international team of scholars that broke new ground in solving the age-old problem of self-deception, or what was originally called "resistance." Arbinger was founded to translate this important work on self-deception--and its solution--into practical effect for individuals, families, and organizations worldwide.
Leadership and Self-Deception (published in 2000), introduced the world to this issue of self-deception. The Anatomy of Peace (published 2006), deepens the understanding of this issue, and shows not only how to overcome self-deception in oneself but how to help others to overcome it as well. Both books are authored by Arbinger and are their most well known books. They publish everything in the name of the company for three reasons. They want to keep the focus on Arbinger's ideas and not on personalities, writing is but one of many important tasks that are performed at Arbinger and they feel that those who write are no more important than those who contribute in other ways, and finally, writing anonymously helps individually and as an organization to avoid the traps and pitfalls of ego.
