Ashkan Tashvir is a best-selling author, thinker, and philosopher with a profound interest in and knowledge of metaphysics, ontology, epistemology, phenomenology, and ethics. He is also an engineer and the founder and CEO of Engenesis, a business movement of global venture-builders, investors, business management consultants, advisors, practitioners, and coaches. Ashkan's interests extend beyond theory and abstracts of philosophy to their application in the real world. One of the greatest challenges he has faced in this regard has been to make his intellectual bodies of work relatable and accessible to as many people as possible to broaden their reach globally and maximise the benefits received. With accessibility and relevance in mind, he applied a structured and holistic approach to the study of human consciousness, leadership, transformation, and being through a series of practical frameworks, tools, and methodologies. One of those frameworks is the Being Framework, which incorporates an ontological model consisting of 31 Aspects of Being, the Being Profile, and the Transformation Methodology. Today, this readily accessible and relatable framework supports people worldwide to derive fulfilment from their contributions and be more effective and integrous human beings. The framework is also applied within organisations for team effectiveness and company-wide transformation. Committed to supporting human beings to raise their awareness by shaping a more congruent, authentic, and accurate conception of reality, Ashkan's overarching mission is to facilitate transformation in the world, one human being at a time. The Being Framework supports him in achieving his mission by offering practitioners a methodology and tools that encourage individuals to focus on who and how they are being and leverage their potential to tap into and project the power and unique being that lie within. When not writing, studying, coaching, or building his businesses, Ashkan spends his time close to nature with his family and their beloved dogs. He also enjoys cooking, singing, and playing the oud and harmonica.
