“A year ago I was a far cry from smiling. I had hit my lowest point and staring down the barrel of defeat. I was in danger of losing my job, friends, everything I had worked for and everything that people had worked so hard to provide for me.

With the support of my family and business partner I began to see that there was a way out of the darkness but it required me wanting to change and get better. A major part of that is when I decided to go see a life coach [Dan].

It's not easy as a guy to open up and express feelings and it's even harder to admit your faults. But week by week and step by step we started to tackle the issues that were holding me back and bringing me down.

I learnt the importance of taking the time to put myself first and do things that make me happy.

It's been a long journey and I'm far from perfect – there are still times when I feel guilty and there are still times when I make mistakes but I know that I'm working towards a better and more balanced life.

“The process was challenging at times in terms of examining and shifting paradigms that were at times difficult to perceive and then let go of.

The service Dan provided was excellent, with the guidance and methodology incredibly practical and effective, without being burdensome.

Since engaging Dan, my quality of life has markedly improved. The tools that Dan has helped me with will continue to see my life improve.

Worth. Every. Penny. Don't be a dick, just do it!”

“[I came to Dan with] my perceived lack of assertiveness, past struggle with depression, and at times low self esteem.

Dan is all about taking action. After clinical and behavioural therapy for recovery from depression, I made huge improvements in my thought process. But Dan helped me stand up and act on the positive thought changes.

I was quite honest with Dan about my deepest reservations from the very first session, and I found a completely non-judgemental listener in him.

It will take time to notice major changes, but I can already feel a significant improvement in my sense of self-worth.

I definitely gained more than I paid for.”

“Dan had the wonderful skill of helping me organize a cluster of thoughts by breaking them down, tracing them back to their origins and determining their likely cause.

Which gave me greater clarity and the ability to plan actionable steps to work towards. This seemed to be set at my own pace.

From relatively simple steps creating a sense of achievement and momentum, to highly anxious events that really pushed my boundaries involving both successes and failures. Comfortably uncomfortable.

Dan gave me the impression of complete support, highly valued when testing yourself each week.”

“I have a lot more confidence and no longer live my life to please other people. My life is so much better now – I do what I want, because I want to do it – not to please others or because I think that is what someone else wants.

I feel I have wasted much of the last 35 years of my life trying to please everyone else and hating myself in the process. I feel now I can start to live my life for me without the constant self-criticism and self hatred.

Money could never buy the way I feel now.”

“To have coaching sessions with Dan is so much more than setting and achieving goals, it's about facing your fears and answering questions you didn't even know you had.

While you may come in feeling hopeful with a dream and a rough plan, you will leave feeling empowered and like YOU ARE on top of the world.

He will not perform miracles or tell what to do, however he will prove that YOU CAN do anything you set your mind to and that there are no limits aside from the ones you set for yourself.”
