Are you stuck and seeking a breakthrough in your life?
Wondering about your sense of purpose and mission?
Have you begun to consider what your legacy will be?
Do you have a personal relationship on hold or off-track?
Is there a significant decision you need or want to be making?
There are the types of questions and concerns that clients come to me seeking input about.
My clients typically say something like, “I have a sense that I’m off course in some way.” It’s an awareness they have that they’ve lost – or simply haven’t yet found – the deep sense of directionality they desire … about something in particular, like a relationship or a decision … or in general about what to be doing with their life.
Although most people need to “feed the monkey” that pays the bills – very few clients seek me out because they are chasing more success in purely economic terms. Most of my clients are provoked by a crisis of some kind that has emerged in their lives … pragmatic, existential or ontological crisis. What these clients are seeking most is the experience of a transformational breakthrough … they want to transcend the limitations of they are experiencing and any lingering sense of malaise.
What my clients come to me for and actually get from our interaction is a new way of being in the world – practical, implementable ideas they can use to enhance their performance and their ability to get the outcomes they need and want to manifest – what they wind up with is a new and higher quality of life.
If we boil it down to basics it’s about having an experience of
profound power, wholeness, satisfaction and peace …
profound power, wholeness, satisfaction and peace …
Using a term taken from one of my intellectual mentors, Joseph Campbell, I call this experience coming to rest in the State of Perfection – and the MythoSelf® Process model I began designing in 1990 is all about creating exactly this experience.
Many of the clients I work with are already highly successful … executives, entrepreneurs, business owners and professionals … many have significant careers in government, entertainment, sports, the arts … and others have yet to experience this level of success in their lives.
Regardless of where they are coming from, or where they are in the present moment in their lives, most of my clients come seeking a significant shift … as I’ve said already, my clients come with the desire to experience a transformational breakthrough – and I’ve built my private practice around delivering the kind of profound results that match their expectations.
”Hi Joseph … remember my crisis at job? Well, in the “manifest world” all finished fine, almost un-noticed … But, in my inner world, I had a specific profound moment of realization that “yes, I can really quit here and now, and all my future is still here in front of me”… what a magic… and from this position… “everything is the same, and nothing is the same”.

The Essential & Consistent Piece Behind All Of My Work
The essence of what I do when I work with clients remains the same regardless of the format. The nature of the work I do, and the approach I take, is all about finding the answers that come from a deep personal awareness and authenticity … tapping into the Success Blueprint℠ that is inherently available to us all. And yet, sometimes despite our deepest desires to access it our Success Blueprint℠ remain elusive.
Intuition
Some folks refer to the kinds of answers I’m referring to as intuition. What I mean when I refer to intuition is the sum total of all of your life’s learning that emerges instantly in whole-form and informs you precisely about how to approach the situation you are facing. Rather than something that is mysterious or unexplainable intuition is a trainable and dependable skill that you can learn and count on.
The primary distinction of the work I do is that it is based in real-time performance. It’s all about developing the ability to respond and act in real-time like an elite performer, regardless of the circumstances, including moments of crisis and chaos. FWIW I love doing this work … and I love the result my clients get working with me even more.
As a cognitive scientist I tend to take a much more pragmatic and down-to-earth approach to what intuition is all about than how you might have read or heard about in other places. My approach to assisting my clients develop their intuition is built on cutting-edge areas of cognitive science like naturalistic decision-making, recognition primed decision-making, situated cognition and embodied cognition.
Signals In The System℠
A phrase I’ve coined to wrap up the nature of this area of focus and the work that emerges from it is “Signals In The System℠” … i.e.: the ability to notice subtle signals in the system in which you are interacting (internal and external), to attend to them appropriately (both on the inside and on the outside) and to respond effectively in moving your towards your outcomes.
Creating your outcomes – regardless of the situation or circumstance you find yourself in, i.e.: whether others, the world or the cosmos is aligned to support you … or not – is what learning to operate in relation to the “Signals In The System” is all about.
How To Get The Ball Rolling …
All mentoring begins with scheduling a session directly with me. We’ll schedule a time to speak by telephone or Skype and discuss where you are in your life, and what you want from mentoring with me. (Many clients tell me that this first telephone meeting begins the process of transformation they desire from doing mentoring with me before we even meet formally.)
During our telephone call we’ll come to an agreement together about whether or not mentoring is for you. If we agree that mentoring is right for you we’ll usually speak for another 15-30 minutes about what you want, and by the time we’re done with that conversation you’ll have a very clear idea of what you can expect from me. Of course if some reason we decide that it’s not the best course of action for you to be taking there’s no obligation whatsoever – we’ll simply abide and move on, agreeing to connect again if the timing is more opportune to do so sometime down the road apiece.
If you’re ready for it reach out to Niki, my PA, and schedule a complimentary call with me.
