The International Institute for Radical Forgiveness and Leadership (IIRFL) has been borne out of the Institute for Radical Forgiveness, which was developed by Colin Tipping in 1997. In 2019, Colin chose Godfrey O’Flaherty to be the Global Custodian and owner of the Radical Forgiveness work. Godfrey bought all the Radical Forgiveness Intellectual Property, as well as the business of Radical Forgiveness, as a global enterprise from Colin Tipping.

Our Vision

‘In conscious compassion we shine the light of hope on the pathway of Global harmony, in acceptance of self and others, in order to create a more peaceful, vibrant and loving New Earth .’

Co-created by JoAnn Tipping (Beloved Patron) and Godfrey O’Flaherty (CEO) and facilitated by Lorree Appleby (Seasoned Senior Coach).

Our Mission

The Institute’s mission is to raise consciousness through expanding forgiveness across the globe. The IIRFL is the official international body which will govern all the work of Radical Forgiveness, globally.

IIRFL Around the World

Radical Forgiveness has been translated into 9 languages across 51 countries. The IIRFL accredit and register coaches across the globe, to add to its already thriving body of coaches and students.

Additionally, IIRFL will continue to expand its global reach, as it recently set up the Africa Institute Affiliate for IIRFL. The Africa Institute will work throughout the continent in the field of forgiveness and as a bridge-building institution for individuals, organizations and communities.

The Future

Training and Development

Under the direction of Godfrey O’Flaherty, we are establishing a Centre for Research, to focus on coaching research about the impact of forgiveness and healing of the body, mind and soul. The Institute is in the process of refreshing our current Radical Forgiveness Coaching and developing other future programs, including:

• revamping the existing Radical Forgiveness Master Coaching program
• developing an MSc program in transpersonal psychology, based on the Radical Forgiveness body of knowledge
• creating a Master of Art (MA) in Radical Forgiveness Coaching, which will be a step up from our Master Coaching Program and
• intending to develop Doctoral programs in those two fields in the future

The Colin Tipping Foundation

The IIRFL will house the Colin Tipping Foundation, in loving memory of Colin and his incredible work. This foundation will be a philanthropic organization, managed on behalf of funders. It aims to create projects and programs run under the Radical Forgiveness banner that will facilitate emotional healing around the world. Using the Radical Forgiveness methodologies, projects will include developing youth leaders, addressing gender-based discrimination, and guiding communities globally on dealing with social challenges. (Using the Radical Forgiveness technology, example projects include developing youth leaders, empowering women and dealing with social challenges faced by communities around the world.)

Education

IIRFL seeks to play a more active role in the education space. We aim to equip the youth globally, especially from disadvantaged communities, to deal effectively with the challenges these communities face. With this aim in mind we strive to contribute constructively to the emotional wellbeing of young learners throughout the world. The Colin Tipping philanthropy foundation will fund these international systemic forgiveness projects. The mission of the Colin Tipping Foundation is to facilitate emotional wellbeing, and living with awareness and resilience, which will enable learners to embrace, advance and develop their full human potential.

Leadership Development

Finally, leadership development is also at the heart of the Institute’s future focus. With the IIRFL, Godfrey seeks to use his passion and experience in leadership development, by creating programs that will help leaders in communities, organizations and all walks of life to rise above their own egos and in so doing being released from their shadow that derails them from their purpose. In this way, the IIRFL aims to bring reconciliation and promote healing through Radical Forgiveness programs.

The International Institute for Radical Forgiveness and Leadership looks forward to partnering  with you on this personal growth and development journey.
