you were shaped by survival

you are built for truth

Most people live just inside their real capacity —
organised by what keeps them safe, not free.

There is another way.

Full intelligence.
Full self-trust.
Full contribution.

Coherent Power.

You keep encountering the same internal ceilings

Not from lack of intelligence, effort or capability —
but an internal structure you were never taught to see

Human behaviour isn’t driven by willpower.
It is organised by survival.

An adaptive system designed to:
preserve safety
protect identity
maintain familiarity

It quietly determines:
what feels possible
what feels threatening
how much visibility you tolerate
how much authority you inhabit

And your life follows.

Most people try to improve behaviour.
This work reorganises what produces behaviour.

when survival stops organising you

Decision-making simplifies.
Energy stabilises.
Authority becomes natural.
Expression sharpens.

You stop managing yourself.
You start operating cleanly.
What you build begins to match your capacity.

This is coherent functioning.

Not optimisation.
Not mindset work.
Not performance theatre.

Structural clarity at the level identity is formed.

this is not a skill problem

Most development work improves what you do.
This work reorganises what drives you.
It works at the level identity is formed.

Where:
• safety overrides capacity
• visibility triggers contraction
• authority feels dangerous
• expansion feels destabilising

It integrates:
identity formation
nervous system conditioning
cognitive pattern recognition
embodied awareness
existential orientation

Not as theory.
As operating architecture.

When identity reorganises, performance follows.
Not the other way around.

THE FIELD OF COHERENT POWER

A structural model of human functioning — integrating identity, nervous system conditioning, cognitive architecture, and lived spiritual intelligence into one coherent framework.
This work is being articulated in real time.
Essays, models, and field notes are published as it evolves.

about elisa

Elisa Tidswell is the originator of the Coherent Power model — a structural model of human functioning.

She is the founder of The Field, a living environment where this work is practised embodied, and developed in real time.

Elisa is Faculty at Mindvalley.

Years at the intersection of identity, human development, business and lived transformation

Leaders, founders, and coaches worked with across private and organisational contexts

Clients report sustained and continued transformation

the development shift underway

The Old Model of Growth

Human growth has historically focused on:
Improving behaviour
Optimising performance
Managing emotion
Accumulating insight
None of these change the internal architecture organising identity.

The Emerging Model of Human Development

Is one that integrates:
Human development — individual and civilisational
Identity formation
Neuroscience and the nervous system
Psychological patterning
Embodied and lived spiritual intelligence
Not as theory.
As operating reality.

What Comes Next

This is not personal development. This work addresses the structure of identity itself — and what becomes possible when it reorganises.
It is the next stage in how humans understand themselves —
and how we lead, build, relate, and contribute from that understanding.

real world consequences

When internal architecture reorganises, outcomes follow.
• Decision clarity increases
• Relational depth increases
• Leadership effectiveness increases
• Performance ceilings dissolve
• Expression stabilises

Working with Elisa has transformed my approach to leadership. I’ve seen significant clarity and decision-making improvements in my role.

David Mitchell

My mind has never been clearer, I am more free. My relationship with my children, wife, myself has all deepened. At work, I broke the company’s all time sales record within four months of working with Elisa – after being there for 16 years.
