"LIFE'S JOURNEY is not to arrive at the grave safely, in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting "Holy shit, what a ride!"

Who Is This Guy?

I left a cushy consulting job in New York (an actuary working with Fortune 50 companies, believe it or not) to return home to Australia and follow my boyhood rock and roll dream. Despite a shocking singing voice, I actually got paid for it, and once even embarrassed myself on TV (embarrassing video and pics).

In 1998 I found out there was a career where you can actually help people make big life changes, and get paid! As I'd been trained as a coach by Landmark Education (more), and LOVE coaching, I jumped at it.

With all the coaches on the net, you're probably trying to work out if I really know what I'm doing. So I'll start with the impressive part - the things that look really good. I've:

  • Coached 1,250 hours by phone in 15 countries around the world (US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, England, Ireland, Scotland, France, Spain, Italy, Sweden, Switzerland, Brazil, Hong Kong, and Japan)
  • Mentored 90 coaches
  • Coached on national TV and radio
  • Been certified as a PCC by the International Coach Federation based in Washington DC (more)
  • Served as Chairman of the ICF Publicity Committee (US)
  • Founded a global coach training school
  • Set up a successful online business so I now get paid while I sleep (more)

The Whole Picture

OK, now that I've tooted my own horn - I want you to know something just as important as the above points: I'm not a guru! My life isn't perfect. While I may look it, I don't have it all worked out and I'm in fact very, very human.

I feel all the human emotions, and am often judgemental, righteous, arrogant, stingy, lustful, defensive, stressed, angry and scared. I eat a lot of chocolate, and most days have a beer. (So if you're looking for a cross between Ghandi and Mother Theresa, I can save you the time right now!)

And...<grin>...I'm excited about life - every day. I'm excited about what we can do in our relationships, our careers, our businesses, and how much fun we can have! And....I'm grateful to be living a truly amazing life.
