unlocking unlimited potential
I unlock the x-factor in you and your team through enabling mind-body well-being and happiness.
I offer group courses that teach the science-based and practical skills of human flourishing.
Outcomes in teams include increased energy, physical vitality, optimism, and motivation; greater self-confidence and ability to relate, connect, and lead, especially in a virtual context; improved mental & emotional resilience, and ability to master stress; increased engagement and sense of personal fulfilment; greater agency, accountability and self-directed self-leadership, especially in distributed work contexts.
I help individuals build the science-based skills for greater happiness and mind-body well-being.
​
Outcomes include reduced depression, stress and anxiety, greater appreciation of self and others, increased self-confidence, energy and vitality, more frequent feelings of love, compassion, hope, calm, contentment, gratitude, and living from a place of personal direction and meaning and purpose.
My signature talk Highways of Happiness is a a powerful and moving talk about lasting happiness and about the reliable pathways of getting there.
​Science-based, informative, and exhilarating, the story unfolds against the backdrop of extreme distance running in the Sahara Desert. It weaves together the hard-earned wisdoms from the edge of human endurance with the neuroscience and psychology of happiness and fulfilment. Infinitely human and timely, this talk has the power to transform lives.
Spending time in Nature has the power to restore and heal us.
I offer life-changing, multi-day kayaking expeditions in Greece,
and multi-day hiking retreats in the mountains of South Africa.
These adventures create the physical and emotional space for deep rest, reflection and reset. You will return feeling rejuvenated in heart, body and soul.
