THE SHORT VERSION
I am a CEO and business strategist, Holistic Mentor, Higher Purpose Business Specialist, entrepreneur, philanthropy facilitator, CTC Master Therapist and trouble shooter. I have broad and diverse experience which gives me a pretty unique perspective.
What drives me is a strong social and moral compass and a desire to leave the world a better place. This is in total alignment with my holistic approach that helps people to live a life they truly love - tapping into their passion & purpose, unleashing their inner power and finding their authentic voice. It's all about leaving your unique ripples in the world and where your contribution makes a difference.
Although my approach is holistic and understanding of energy, I've also been in business for over 30 years and a coach for over 15. My background is unusually broad and diverse which gives me a somewhat unique perspective. I have personally lost nearly 30 kg and regained my health and vitality. My approach to life has always been centred around growth, learning and personal development.
My purpose is to help people to live a life that they truly love – a life full of passion, purpose & power, health, wealth, freedom & love. I love to help anyone that isn’t satisfied with their situation and wants to transform their physical health, their financial situation, their business or their happiness. I possess a strong social and moral compass and a desire to leave the world a better place.
On the personal side I’ve been married for 37+ years and have 3 adult children (all boys). I HAVE also had a parallel life in the performing arts and am a singer and actor (I don’t dance though!).
THE SOMEWHAT LONGER STORY
I have transformed and reinvented myself many times over the years. Some of the things I have done include being:
a frustrated child with no direction
a rebellious teenager and young adult
a grossly overweight and unhealthy adult
an army officer in training
an executive recruiter and head hunter
a financial services executive
a corporate trainer
a director and chairman of both companies and not-for-profits
a business owner
a facilitator of philanthropy
a music industry entrepreneur
a business coach & mentor
an actor and singer
a spiritual seeker
a husband (one wife, 34 years and going strong)
a father (3 adult boys)
an author and speaker
a CTC™ Master Therapist
My background is obviously pretty broad and diverse which gives me a somewhat unique perspective on life. My approach to life has always been centred around growth, learning and personal development. It also took a huge upturn when lost nearly 30 kg and regained my health and vitality.
I woke up one day and realised that my true purpose was to bring all that knowledge and experience I’d gained with me and live a life of flow - and then to teach others how they too can live a life they truly love.
That type of life comes from:
Freeing yourself of all that holds you back from being the best you can be
Bringing your energy, your spirit & your power back into present time
Doing work that revolves around your passion, purpose and soul goals so you do what you love and love what you do
Taking control of your health, improving your physical performance, regaining your youth and transforming your body - so you can feel the best you've ever felt and live a life without limits
That's where your personal magnificence lies and that's how you build a higher purpose life (and higher purpose business if that’s your thing). That is the ultimate success.
At this stage of my life I am a CEO and business strategist, Holistic Mentor, Higher Purpose Business Specialist, entrepreneur, philanthropy facilitator, CTC Master Therapist and trouble shooter.
Overall I possess a strong social and moral compass and a desire to leave the world a better place.
In my philanthropic work I have chosen to align with the Australian Friends of Tel Aviv University (AFTAU). Tel Aviv University (TAU) believes in pursuing the next big idea, the next challenge, the next mystery that will advance human knowledge and improve all of our lives. It is the largest and most multidisciplinary university in Israel. AFTAU supports TAU’s vital role in changing lives that change the world.
My purpose is to help people to live a life that they truly love – a life full of passion, purpose & power, health, wealth, freedom, love and authenticity. I love to help anyone that isn’t satisfied with their situation and wants to transform their physical health, their financial situation, their business or their happiness.
I also work with people who want to build the most successful and profitable form of business on so many levels - a Higher Purpose Business - leaving your unique ripples in the world and where your contribution makes a difference.
MY HEALTH JOURNEY
I was feeling burnt out and exhausted. I was super-stressed, in a state of perpetual overwhelm and my performance – to be kind – was abysmal. I was feeling my age and could no longer do everything I wanted to do. I was starting to feel the effects of being over 50, overweight and unhealthy.
My son (a personal trainer and a boxer) introduced me to a world class nutritional cleansing system that literally turned my life around. Not only did I donate 28 kilos back to the Universe in way less than a year, I have kept it off. And I also have my mojo back :-D. I’m totally revitalised with bags of energy – and sleeping so much better too. More importantly my motivation and zest for life is back to where it used to be when I was in my 30's.
I have what I need to perform at a high level over the long haul and that’s why I’ve set a goal to help a million people (or more) over the next 40 years to live a life that they truly love – healthy, happy and looking & feeling good.
MY MIND & SPIRIT JOURNEY
Like many of you, I was carrying a great deal of “stuff” along with me – baggage I didn’t need. I had to learn to let go.
I studied the concept of flow closely in an effort to get closer to it. I learned that flow comes from loving yourself and loving what you do. That when you pursue your Soul Goals you get into flow. I came to understand that flow is about recognising your own magnificence and spark of the Divine.
I also discovered just how much your thoughts and beliefs have an effect on flow.
The conclusion was therefore, that if there were any blocks to flow, it was me that had put them there! In moving more and more into flow I found that I was actually clogged! Clogged with so much “stuff” – physical stuff, emotional stuff and spiritual stuff.
I had to learn to release many things such as:
Surrendering the control I had so jealously protected for so long
Stop living in the past and worrying about the future – rather to live in the present moment
Jettison the physical “stuff” that was crowding me out of my house
Liberate myself from ineffective programming and limiting beliefs
Discard the false sense of identity created by my Ego and the various “roles” I had taken on
I learned about the CTC™ and was very excited as I’d stumbled across a process designed to free you from everything holding you back from being the best you that you can be.
So, I had one - and was able to release a multitude of things that had been holding me back. These included limiting beliefs, negative emotions, habits, fears and ineffective thought patterns. Even more specifically - blame, judgement, guilt, anger, sadness, fear, hurt, negative self-beliefs, spiritual baggage, old emotional scars and unresolved issues. And of course, a heap of excess weight.
As a result of the CTC™, I was able to eliminate uncertainty, fear and suffering and instead feel empowered, happy and ready to take on the world - in pin-point alignment with my true inner compass and Soul Goals.
And having had that experience, I wanted to be able to facilitate it for others, so I embarked on becoming a CTC™ Master Practitioner.
