I have been involved in the “wonderful life” business for over twenty years – that is, the art and science of assisting people in living ever more wonderful lives.  During that time, I have experimented with dozens of different methodologies and hundreds of philosophies all claiming to be “the way” to experience greater happiness and more success in life.  I’ve even been certified in a number of these approaches, ranging from Neuro-Linguistic Programming to Positive Psychology and from Alpha Healing to Hawaiian shamanism.

Yet over the past few years, my work has evolved from an interventionist, technique based approach to something which could be fairly accurately described as “conversational coaching”.  We talk, something new gets heard, and people’s lives transform.

I have heard whisperings from the community chalking up this change to everything from a marketing ploy to a religious conversion, yet the truth is far simpler.  I’ve seen some fundamental things about how life works that changed the way I approached everything, from my relationships to my business to my quest for happiness and success.

One of my clients, a top executive who worked with me before and after my own transformation described the difference like this:

When Michael first coached me in the mid-2000s he showed me lots of very useful techniques – the result: I became a more resourceful and more successful busyaholic.

Now Michael’s coaching has transformed into something that is genuinely life changing.  I have come to see that our natural state is one of wellbeing and that our thoughts create our reality, not our circumstances or our beliefs about ‘who we are’.  It is truly liberating to see that having a busy mind is not an inevitable side-effect of a prolific life; it is actually counterproductive.

The result: more inner peace, wellbeing, confidence, focus and effectiveness for me and my clients.

What has this got to do with you?

For the first time ever, this July I will be running a retreat-based intensive in beautiful Ojai, California. We will engage in the transformative conversation, exploring the nature of the human experience and how a deeper understanding of the principles behind life allow you to transcend your personal circumstances and live a life of relative ease, effortless success, and gentle well-being.

Of the 18 spaces available, the first 7 are now taken with people flying in from Belgium, France, Germany, Sweden, and the United Kingdom.  Because of the limited space available at the exclusive 5 Diamond resort where we will be staying, I would like to fill these spaces by the 6th of May – so here’s my offer:

1. If you want to join us, book now and I’ll give you a personal coaching session by phone before the retreat and include it in the price.

2. Book with a partner or friend and you can save $1000 off the cost of the retreat.

3. If you’re not sure yet, join me on a special introductory call next Wednesday, April 27th where I’ll be sharing more about the retreat and you’ll have an opportunity to experience the transformative conversation in real-time.  You can register for this call here.

(If the retreat is fully booked before the call, we’ll still get together and chat – most people love being part of this conversation wherever they’re currently at in their lives!)

Have fun, learn heaps, and I look forward to spending some time together in Ojai this July!

With love,
