I know what I'm doing.

It's good to know what you're doing.

It would be nice to always be able to say, "I know what I'm doing." But sometimes you know and sometimes you don't know. What then? What do you do when you don't know what to do?Sometimes it can wait. You can trust you'll get there eventually. You can wait for inspiration to find you.But sometimes, it can't wait.

It's the same steps every time.

If you work with me, the first thing I do is to have you tell me everything you're doing.We check each thing to see if it's what you need. And if it's not, we check what you need instead.If there's anything that you need to do that you're not doing, we check what's in the way.

This is what I do.

What I don't do

The way I work has become simpler and simpler, year after year.Making things simple is something I'm known for.So, if you speak to someone who has already worked with me, you'll find out I do the same thing every time.I won't make you tell me your life story.
I won't ask you to explain every detail of your situation.
I won't get you to make a plan for what you will go and do next.I'll ask you what you're doing and I'll check if it's what you need.

This might be you.

When your work (or your life) is big and complicated enough that you can't just ask someone else what to do, you need to know what you're doing.And sometimes you can't afford to wait for it to sort itself out.Sometimes it's because there is something major at work that needs to be tackled.Sometimes "it doesn't feel good" is enough of a reason.

Who I work with.

What else?

You can drop me a line.

If you think you might like to do some work together, or if there's anything you'd like to ask, you can just send me a message.I've also just written a book about my work.It's taken me about 20 years. It's not been easy. It's only about 40 pages. But it sums up what I do and how it works.It's a chance to meet me before you meet me. Drop me a line and I'll send it to you.

The principles of clarity.

In 2020, I wrote a new treatment and new commentary based on an old teaching by the Buddhist master Atisha.The aim was to make something that would convey the power of that teaching, but in a way that made it immediately easy to understand and easy to relate to everyday life.My (nearly annual) retreat based on this teaching is built around 42 short teachings. It's designed to run alongside a full, busy schedule - spread over 14 weeks.If you'd like to add yourself to the waiting list for the next one, drop me a line.
