November 2010. Renewal® becomes the official licensee in Spain of Arbinger training programmes and coaching processes.

Arbinger (www.arbinger.com) is an international consulting and training firm established in the Unites States and with affiliates around the world. It's main objective is to enable organizations and individuals to successfully confront the deep implications of the problem of Self-Deception. Within an organizational culture that lives in self-deception, most people feel that others cause problems, but few people feel that they themselves cause them. Consequently, no one feels responsible, and individuals and organizations seem doomed to live with problems no one seems willing or able to solve.

Some of the most successful organizations in the world -including Microsoft, IBM, Intel, Raytheon, 3M, Federal Express, Nike, Cornell University, the U.S. Navy and the U.S. Air Force- have worked with Arbinger to achieve dramatic improvements in performance, achieving amazing results, including hundreds of millions of dollars in cost savings, return on investment of two digits, and the positive resolution of seemingly intractable conflicts.

Arbinger's first book, "Leadership and Self-Deception", exposed the general public to the problem of self-deception. The book has become an international best-seller with over 700,000 copies sold in more than 20 languages.
