The Listening Space

Have you ever felt like the Black Dog, depression,
is pulling you down into a place
where you have no sense of direction or purpose in your life?

It’s a common problem for many men.

The black dog makes it hard to see the road ahead,
to see possibilities and when you’re stuck in that place,
it can feel like there’s no way out – no options left.

What causes this?

Often, it comes from avoiding self-reflection — pushing away the difficult truths,
the hard things, we don’t want to face.

The more you avoid them,
the stronger and heavier,
that feeling of overwhelm becomes.

It’s like trying to outrun your own shadow;
the more you try,
the more trapped you feel.

But here’s the solution: the way forward is not to avoid, but to confront what’s happening inside.

As a mindset and communication coach,
I help men just like you work through those difficult truths.

By learning to how to challenge and change your self-talk,
building healthy routines and habits,
and resetting your mindset, you can start to regain control over your own life – be who you are.

You can create significant shifts in how you perceive the challenges you face and
turn them into opportunities for growth.

It is simpler than you think.

The benefit?

You’ll feel empowered to not only put a leash on that black dog, but to live a life
with meaning, purpose, and direction.

You’ll build stronger relationships with the people you love,
take ownership of your own journey,
be empowered to live your own life,
be who you are and
break free from the grip of the black dog.

This is about reclaiming your life, and it starts with that first step.

If you are ready to take that next step, I’m here to walk that road with you, to guide you. Let’s face those truths together, you are not alone. Let’s talk.
Click on that link right there, and let’s get started, what are you waiting for?

Nothing changes, without changing something.

Empowered men, know who they are.

I would love more men to recognise that working with a coach, you gain:

- deeper insights into yourself,
- grow your emotional intelligence and
- increase your ability to communicate effectively.

Successful men, work with a coach - whether it's sports, business or even pursuing a passion.
Why not you?

Big thank you to O'Halloran and https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100063524378395&mibextid=ZbWKwL
Such a wonderful opportunity to reach more men who may be struggling right now, and know that someone sees what you're going through right now, and is here to bring you some powerful tools, to empower your life, and live the life you want.

One of the challenges in life – particularly as you transition to retirement is finding a reason to get out of bed each day – or what is commonly referred to...

This is a shout out to any men who are willing to volunteer 45 minutes to an hour of their time to have a chat with me, share their story and in return, I will give you a free coaching call. Don’t worry it’s not for publication. I am validating my own research.

If you're interested, or want to learn more send me a private message and I will explain what's involved and you can say “Yes, I'm in!” or opt out at that point if you wish.
It’s just a phone call so you can remain kind of anonymous.

Even if you say, yes, there's still no obligation to continue. You can just explore with me what this is, understand what I am looking for and see if you're still willing to share your story with me.

My main purpose is to ensure that the new programs I have designed are meeting the needs of men who are looking for meaning and purpose. I want to know that what I’m offering is what men need in order to live a life of meaning, direction and purpose.

Men need services designed for men,
designed ‘with’ men.
Are you that man?

I look forward to hearing from you. Don't be shy, message me

So here's what I've been up to.....can't tune in?
I'll share the link in the comments as soon as it's available. This one is all about how I work with men. Ladies, tune in! 😀

Confidence is something that anyone can develop. Not something you're either "born with or not".
It's like going to the gym, to build muscles you actually need to take action and pick up the weights or jump on the treadmill.
With experience, comes confidence - you can develop it

Are you in control of your life?
Hands up if you fear failure, and so you don't want to try anything new.
What if failure is just giving you results, and an opportunity to change something, to ensure you succeed?

Feel like you want to have more control?
If you want more control in your life, start taking responsibility for where you are now, and know, that only you are responsible for the choices you make in your life, for the very next action you will take.

Now you are in control!

Once you have accepted this, you'll know that each time you start to make changes, big or small, you are in control of your life, and getting results. What you learn from each failure is the opportunity to make a new plan when the old plan isn't working....

Now is when you can start to change your life - comment below or give me a 👍 if you agree with Napoleon Hill's quote “The primary reason for failure is that people do not develop new plans to replace those plans that didn’t work.”

If you knew it only takes 2.3 seconds to create change, a new connection, firing up a new neural pathway in your brain...Would you do it? Comment below - what do you think is the key to it not changing back, in 2.3 seconds?

I am building some exciting new things to bring to those of you who want to focus ahead and get even better results in life! Stay tuned....new offers are on their way!

Sometimes the path we want to travel hasn’t been travelled, there are no role models or something to take and make our own because it just hasn’t been done before – you are the first!

Comment below:
Is this an opportunity for you to shine and blaze the trail – take it any direction you want, it’s yours so there are no rules to follow?

OR

Do you keep researching - there must be someone who has done this before, someone who can show me the way. If it hasn’t been done before, maybe I shouldn’t do it either…It’s a sign that it’s not a good idea. And ditch it?
