One on One

 
 

I know it is incredibly valuable to get advice,

to have mentors, sages, and to seek wisdom, and to work to get to grips with the art of living. I also know that it is incredibly hard to figure out life alone, I’ve tried, it doesn’t work. We all walk with limp, and the only way to get to the finish line is to lean on one another (that sounds like a song cue if I ever heard one).

I’ll walk with you, trying to practice what I preach, smoke what I sell, and we’ll both get to the finish line, and hopefully finish strong.

I’m not going to promise you your best life now, in three easy coaching sessions, with an easy to complete self-development plan or even answers. Those are almost always bs and irritate the crap out of me. Life is hard, and complex, and frustrating, and beautiful, and awesome, and intense, and you have one go, ONE GO, at it.

So, let’s make it count.

I can however promise you that sessions with me will be hard, they will be inspiring, and surprising. They will help you cut through the nonsense and get to the real you, whatever that looks like, because the truth is, you already know the answer. We just need to get to it, and, hopefully, it will help you create your best work, good work, inside and outside.

What qualifies me? I have made many incredible mistakes. I have read a million books on spirituality, life hacking, theology, philosophy, design, business, and art. I have sat one on one with more people than I can remember, talking about everything from town planning to sexuality. I teach my kids art history, and how to throw a punch. I have a degree in theology and a diploma in fashion design (I dare you to beat that combo). I lead a contemplative Christian community in Cape Town, I’ve been into meditation and mindfulness since I was 15, before it was cool.

I am driven to create good work by doing the good, and difficult, inner work, that will incarnate into the good work outside.

Sessions content:

I don’t like cookie-cutter coaching, but here are some topics we can or will get into:

  • Getting to the real self, practices to align your inner and outer world.

  • Philosophy, wisdom for living, loving and working.

  • Crafting your intent.

  • Spirituality i.e. the interconnectedness, or reconnection of you to yourself, you to others, you to your work, you to your life, you to just about everything seen and unseen.

  • What you want and why you want it.

  • We’ll talk about money.

  • The world of work, and making good work. Moving through the different life stages, adolescences to adulthood, adult to sage for example.

  • And we will for sure be talking body stuff, exercise, food, sex.

  • I guide you with prepping for talks and can help you to give way better presentations.

  • I critique work, concepts, design, art, and business ideas and give creative direction and input, I’m quite harsh.

Each session will have a training exercise at the end i.e. homework, reading, or a practice that you must do. And we’ll take notes for each session.

Sessions will happen in-person or online, I live in Cape Town, South Africa, and we can meet here for coffee or wine if you are in town. I would love to get together if I’m in your city by chance, for coffee or wine, or both.

I’m looking forward to meeting you.
