This is the inflection point, the threshold.

Now is the time for courageous leadership. We need leaders to step in, to step up, to lead us through these times, we need leaders like you.

This is personal. This is a profound recalibration of your professional compass guided by your soul’s calling.

Inspiring message about courageous leadership

Purpose

To cultivate and nurture a space for men to connect with self and others. To learn, to grow, to take greater responsibility for our lives and the impact we have on others. To be of service to our relationships, families, communities and the planet upon which we live. To be more kind with ourselves and others.

Who is it for?

For the leader standing at the edge of their next evolution. For the anyone who has climbed the prescribed ladder only to discover it was leaning against the wrong wall and that wall is crumbling.

This is for the visionary carrying the weight of decisions that affect not just spreadsheets, but souls – this is for the leader who cares deeply about those souls. It starts with you and yours, this is for the leader ready to lead not from obligation but from the deeper calling of soul and purpose.

How it Works

We begin with a three month commitment. We meet for 90mins each week at the intersection of your desire for transformation and your potential, and what’s required of you now.

I’ll guide you through elegant frameworks and inconvenient truths as we strip it all back to the fundamentals of the work you’re here to do an most importantly, why.

There are a phases to this work that align with a rite of passage, there is no defined formula. This work of transformation cannot be prescribed or scheduled, only responded to with an open mind and open heart.

Having said that, what you can expect is to move through three phases:

Phase 1 - Unbecoming

  • Excavate the narratives and inherited beliefs and definitions of success that have shaped your leadership identity.

  • Map your decision making patterns and identify where you have been leading from fear rather than conviction.

  • Establish a new and emerging leadership philosophy - one that resonates deeply with greater meaning and purpose.

Phase 2 - Rebuilding

  • Purposefully design your leadership ecosystem: the boundaries, beliefs, rhythms, rituals and practices that sustain rather than deplete.

  • Develop a values based decision making protocol that honours both strategic imperatives and human needs.

  • Cultivate your unique and authentic leadership voice that inspires through deep resonance and presence.

Phase 3 - Embodying

  • Building the bridge between your vision and its manifestation through inspired action.

  • Lead yourself and others through change and uncertainty with grounded confidence and integrity.

  • Be the change that we so desperately need, be the example, walk the talk and be an agent for positive change.

This is not for

Leaders seeking quick fixes or surface level solutions to profound challenges. These are extraordinary times that call for an extra-ordinary approach.

People who are not willing to acknowledge and examine the role they play in the circumstances they’re experiencing. If you’re not willing to self-reflect and be accountable, this is not for you.

Those expecting transformation without the necessary discomfort of shedding and growth.

Next Steps

We begin with a conversation. It’s not an interview or a sales pitch, however we do need to see if we’re a good fit to work with each other. My approach is not suited to everyone so let’s have an honest conversation about this, your readiness and expectations. You also need to qualify me to ensure I’m the right person to support you.

Following this initial conversation there is a comprehensive intake process where I’ll understand as much as I can about your current situation and desired outcomes before we begin the work.

I only work with 3 people at a time.

Here’s what past participants are saying:

  • Who would have thought a bunch of men, strangers mostly, could open my heart so, with just a few words and a bit of connection?

    André

  • You have cultivated a space for men from all walks of life to feel comfortable and welcomed into a community that strives for deep reflection, vulnerability and accountability. Thank you for your commitment, love and care for me and the others in this group. You’re an inspiring leader of Men.

    Josia

  • Joining this men's circle group has been a profound opportunity for men to experience personal growth and emotional support in a safe, non-judgmental environment. This group has fostered self-awareness, improved communication, and accountability, while also fostering deep connections and a sense of belonging.

    Peter

  • You have created such a beautiful space for men to be vulnerable and feel connected.

    Mark

  • I owe you so much thanks for everything so far! It's been on a level I couldn't have anticipated. 

    Reuben

  • Practical and inspiring, definitely a great way to describe Monday night’s circle conversations. Powerful stuff, facilitated brilliantly.

    Nick

  • Joining a men's circle has been one of the best things I have done. It should be an essential part of life for modern men. It creates connection and supports a greater appreciation of healthy masculinity. It fills a void that I'm sure many men are not even aware of.

    Ky

  • Joining the men's group has been a transformative experience for me. It provided a safe space where I could freely express my vulnerable self without the fear of judgment. This sense of security allowed me to explore and understand my emotions in a way I hadn't before. I’ve also forged deep connections and friendships within this group that have enriched my life. If you're considering joining, I wholeheartedly recommend it; it's an opportunity for personal growth, self-discovery, and meaningful connections that I'm truly grateful for.

    Dylan

  • Mikey's Mens Circle was transformational. Through listening and observing others, and sharing my own story, my own truth, it helped me understand a little further who I am, what's important, and how I should go about life. It has amplified a greater sense of awareness, and has moved me a little closer towards self confidence, contentment and self love. I am grateful for the brotherhood I have now become part of.

    Tim

  • Its helped me understand a little further who I am, and how I should go about life. It has amplified a greater sense of awareness. It has moved me a little closer to self confidence, contentment and self love.

    Tim

  • Having sat in others self help groups, I found this much more on point, specific to contemporary issues and relatable.

    Ben

  • DO IT! You will absolutely get value from working with Mikey. I had reservations and I'd done Men's Work previously and thoroughly enjoyed my time in the company of other incredibly powerful, honest and vulnerable men.

What to Expect

  • ✺ Connection

    Weekly gatherings online. Connect from the safety of your own home. You’ll build connections and relationships with other men sharing a similar experience.

  • ✺ Be Celebrated

    You’re doing great. You’re human, too. There will be setbacks and lessons to learn but we’ll spend time each week focussing on the wins that happen too, and we’ll celebrate you.

  • ✺ Be Challenged

    We’re here to grow, to stretch into a better version of ourselves. That’s going to be unfamiliar and it’s going to take courage. You will be challenged and you will be supported.

  • ✺ Integrate

    You’ll get to know parts of yourself, some of which may have been hidden for most of your life. You’ll learn how to connect with these parts and build trust. This is a big step on your journey back home.

  • ✺ Be Witnessed

    Something very special and powerful happens when we get together and share our experiences. When we are seen, heard, witnessed and honoured by other men. It’s a gift to give and an honour to receive.

  • ✺ Belong

    Loneliness is perhaps one of the greatest mental and physical health challenges facing us in modern society. We no longer have places to gather, to connect and be in the company of others. This is a thriving community and you belong here.

This is priced on a sliding scale - pay what you can.

5% of all proceeds are donated to a charity or not-for-profit of the group’s choosing.

✺ Frequently asked questions ✺

  • We meet online via zoom, join from wherever you are.

    We also organise quarterly gatherings in person in Melbourne and the Gold Coast, you are invited to these and welcome to join.

  • We begin with a ritual opening of the space. There may be a poem or story shared, or a guided meditation.

    We'll then check-in and begin. There is a protocol for how we operate, this will be communicated before we meet and reinforced throughout.

    There will be a theme for discussion each week which we'll explore. You'll have the opportunity to share or to contribute as much or as little as you like.

    We wrap up by honouring each other and what was shared and check out. This is a 2hr session.

  • You’re not alone! Most of the men in these circles are doing this for the first time and turn up with some trepidation and uncertainty.

    You are guided and supported throughout, you’re not obliged to do or share anything you don’t want to.

    The feedback after the first couple of sessions from most men is that they wished they’d done something like this a lot earlier in life.

  • That’s fine, it happens, you have other commitments and things pop up. We ask that you simply let the group know via our WhatsApp group.

    You won’t be disadvantaged for missing a session and I’ll catch you up on what you missed.

  • Yes. Each circle has its own dedicated WhatsApp group chat to stay in touch and share updates throughout the week.

    You will be paired up with another man to check-in with during the week. I get consistent feedback that these check-ins are one of the highlights of the program.

    I email you during the week too, with some follow up resources. I’m available via WhatsApp, email and voice memos to support you through the duration of the course.

  • No. This is not therapy and it’s not a substitute for therapy. If you’re experiencing acute mental or physical issues, see a trained, qualified and registered professional.

    This is a facilitated experience that may involve coaching. I’m a trained and qualified teacher and coach and have been doing this work for over 20 years.
