Stan Sanderson is the founder of The Spiritual Coach and creator of the Spiritual Coach Program. He studied the technique of Transcendental Meditation in the early 1970s, as taught by His Holiness Maharishi Mahesh Yogi through the International Meditation Society. His personal spiritual experiences were confirmed in A Course in Miracles, which he has fully embraced. A Course in Miracles also helped inform his universal spiritual principles. Over many years, Stan has used his personal experience and teaching skills to help others find the happiness they seek. He recently set up a website, www.thespiritualcoach.net, to provide an "electronic outreach" for members of the Spiritual Coach Program. Stan enjoyed successful careers in both the medical supply business and the financial services industry before retiring from active business in 2001. He has been an industry leader, having served as both president and chairman of the board of directors for the Canadian Association of Financial Planners (CAFP) and president of the Canadian Surgical Trade Association (CSTA). His public service commitments have included accepting an appointment by the government of Ontario to serve as a trustee and, subsequently, as chairman of the board of trustees 153 for the Ontario Public Service Employees Union Pension Plan. His biography is listed in the Canadian Who's Who.
