I’m putting together an online program based on my decades of applied coaching. It helps people become free of their depression, anxiety and emotional stress and turn it into pure potential, without months or even years of conventional therapy. It’s called: Reconnect: Moving beyond depression, anxiety and emotional stress. Within the … [Read more...]
I don’t want to live any more.
My own audience of interest in what I teach is beginning to take shape. I didn't go looking for them, they have actively seeked me out. Young men mostly, with pockets of women that really desire a philosophy of living, over and above a short term therapy, are starting to contact me for coaching. It appears young men in particular are starting to … [Read more...]
Comfort kills.
We are all seeking a comfortable life. But if we really want a life worth living, there needs to be an element of risk, an active seeking of discomfort. Comfort kills. It kill dreams, it degrades our own story and destroys potential. Worse, it can even take lives. Lives that would rather be trapped in a suffocating comfort of safety, of the known. … [Read more...]
Personal mentoring.
Many people have previously enquired about personal one to one coaching and I now have time to work with a few extra clients if you are interested. I only take on a very few personal coaching clients because, aside from the six sessions where we will work intensively together, I also offer considerable additional support outside of the … [Read more...]
The last 2-3% of the mind is everything
Whenever I talk about coaching elite sportsmen and women to others, they almost always refer to an idea of the final 2-3% of the mind needed in helping the athlete achieve a slightly greater level of potential and excellence. Not so. This idea of the final 2-3% is to devalue the effect on an athlete or anyone else for that matter that is serious … [Read more...]
Truth.
Jack Nicholson and his immortal line in the movie A Few Good Men, is the most remembered part of the film - "You can't handle the truth!" Few people have the courage to face the truth. This is a word that people demand on a daily basis. "What is the truth?" Or "How can we find out the truth?" We should be careful to ask such a … [Read more...]
Wolf blood – reclaiming our intelligence.
We now crave a return to the simplistic enjoyments of life. Real fires, walks in nature, exercise in nature, barefoot running and walking and time away from devices and gadgets that stifle the creation of space that holds the key to our own peace of mind. We are also driven back to real food that has been eaten for thousands of years and not … [Read more...]
The Narcissistic ego – learning to defend against it.
Modern society has become a breeding ground of the narcissist, someone who has an obsessive interest in or admiration in themselves. We've all met one or perhaps know one. Rather than a long detailed analysis of the narcissist, let's briefly look at the traits of what I have controversially called a mental health issue, before learning how to … [Read more...]
Seek death in life – The connection to our greatest power.
The day will inevitably come when we take our last breath. It is the greatest fear, death. We have no idea when this will happen but happen it most certainly will. All the personas and characters we play to neatly slot into our society will come to an end. For many there will be a sigh of great relief, as the great egoic display that has … [Read more...]
Fitness – mindfulness and survival
Fitness is survival. I am not necessarily referring to a life and death situation but a heightened experience of life that relies on physical stress inducing movement that leads to inner peace, less thought, greater mental strength and a more expansive, formidable mind. These are the basis of any survival. But, for it to work it must not be part of … [Read more...]
