MASTER HOW YOU CONNECT TO YOURSELF AND OTHERS TO CONQUER YOUR PERSONAL AND PROFESSIONAL LIFE
LIFE IS ALL ABOUT CONNECTION. High functioning relationships add meaning and joy to everything we do. To connect deeply with your true self and with others is fundamental to winning at home, at work and in life.
WHAT'S GOING ON?
There's an area of your life that just isn't functioning as highly as it could, would or should be right... It's become easy to recognise now because your desire to get more enjoyment and fulfillment out of life is showing you that you're falling short somewhere.
To take yourself to the next level, there’s a potent philosophy and simple equation to keep in mind - Happiness = Success - not the other way around. The fastest way to happiness is through harmonious, supportive and light-hearted relationships - including your relationship to yourself.
By nature, we all want more in some way, to thrive and to have the best, happiest life possible. It's the human condition. Ambition and desire for more is a powerful source of progress and fulfillment. Therefore, to be successful, having the ambition to pursue success is a must.
By all means, focus on and create enormous financial success. While doing so, be aware that if ambition becomes mono-focused and other important areas are neglected, achieving any material success can cause mental and emotional prisons that suck the life out of you. So, be sure your ambition sets you free by aligning all your most important values so you can share it with the people you love and care about the most.
If you believe as I do that high functioning, personal relationships are the most fulfilling, uplifting and inspiring part of life - then it makes sense to nurture those connections by investing as much, if not more energy and resources in yourself than in anything else. That's how to thrive.
If ambition is the key to success then connection is the key to happiness. So it makes sense to pursue ever enhanced connection to ourselves and the people we love, support and interact with.
How highly we function in life as a whole can be easily recognised by evaluating the quality and health of our relationships.
So let’s do that now.
Here are a few questions and ideas to provoke a bit of introspection and self-assessment.
Have you ever noticed that even when your priorities and intentions are well meaning they can still be misunderstood at times - or worse - unappreciated? Maybe it causes friction between yourself and those you care about. The type of friction that undermines what you really want to achieve. The friction causes distraction from what you really value. Distraction that causes dysfunction in your thinking and behaving. Dysfunction causes mental and emotional disharmony and an unhappy and sometimes destructive cycle follows. Who has the time for that? Certainly no one wants to go through that. You know what I mean right…
There's just no good reason for friction, conflict, misunderstanding and dysfunctional relationships to be a part of your life. There's no reason why you should have to suffer having one person conversations with clever responses going around in circles in your mind. There's no good reason to continue with the negative thought and emotional spirals that uncontrollably cause you stress and anxiety. Nor for becoming trapped in relationships that are stagnant or low-functioning.
Why are we prone to waiting for “rock bottom” before we finally take action? How much worse does it have to get before we choose any and all means necessary to make things better? Why not start now?
Who wants to fight with their partner? Who wants to sleep on the couch or have their partner turn their back on them in bed at night? Who wants to eat dinner in silence, miss their kids growing up or worse, be arguing with them as well? Who wants to argue with their boss or colleagues and hate having to go into work each day? What about dealing with in-fighting or gossiping among friends or feeling like you don't really know who your "real friends" are? Do you ever feel like you have to do certain things to fit in or drink so you can be yourself?
Why would anyone put themselves through this a moment longer? Especially when the cycles can be broken and the old patterns or habits that caused it can be overcome with the tools that are available to you now. The isolation, loneliness, anger, frustration, stress, sadness, anxiety and even depression that can eventuate from the deterioration of relationships that should be the most uplifting and supportive part of our lives simply is not worth it.
I ask the above questions because they are all ones I had to navigate for myself. Unfortunately, I had to go to my rock bottom to learn my lessons.
Several years ago my world came tumbling down around me. My failing relationship with the love of my life took me to a friggin dark place of stress, anxiety, fear, sleeplessness and I suspect some kind of depression. The people who knew me best said I was no longer myself.
Somehow my mental and emotional state descended to a point in which I was even told that although I was loved, I couldn't be supported anymore if I didn't start to take ownership and responsibility for doing everything in my power to find my way out of the hole I was in.
That was a sobering message. To hear that from the people closest to me was a real kick in the nuts. It took me some time and distance from the situation before I could see through my own state and recognise what others were telling me.
Just as I came to realise that I could not help the woman I loved unless she decided for herself to make positive change, no one could help me either. The day I took the decision to do everything in my power to put myself first and find any and all help I could was the day I began to take back control of my life.
That was the moment in which I realised that the people I love and care about deserve nothing less than the ever improving, very best me that I can offer.
That powerful realisation was the catalyst for enormous transformation of myself and therefore the results and the life I could look forward to.
It was the first time in my life I saw the enormous value of self-help and self-improvement. More importantly, I came to understand that self-help is not something you do alone. Self-help is recognition of a choice and then making a powerful decision to make positive change no matter what. It is the beginning. Beyond that, it's a process of learning from external sources with a view to creating internal change.Then, by embodying new habits of thought and emotion, new ways of being, experiencing and even creating life through conscious design become available.
I owe so much to the various counselors, mentors, coaches, leaders, courses, trainings, books, Youtube videos, podcasts and home study that I have dived deep into. I really left no stone unturned in my efforts to find my way - first out of the hole I was in - then toward creating an experience of life of my choosing. I continue to do so and always will.
Years later, I can see clearly through the eyes of experience just how significant disharmony in relationships is. Primarily for the reason that it demonstrates the extent to which life is out of balance. I also find it interesting how personal relationships also reflect the extent to which we as individuals can be out of balance.
Thanks to a dark period of my life that forced me to dive deep into my own psyche, I understand how core needs and woundings cause certain thoughts, emotions, behaviours, people and experiences to come into our lives knowingly and unknowingly, consciously and unconsciously. The experience showed me the powerful role of the subconscious in bringing to life that with which we are imprinted with throughout decades accumulating life experiences.
Consequently, I learnt to peel back the layers, find the core issues, find resolution and create positive transformation. I did the hard work over years to develop a formula for transformation to make it a much faster and smoother process for you.
To accomplish that in a way I can share it with others, I distilled all the best training, tools, wisdom and experience and compiled them into a sequence and plan of action that creates huge and powerful transformation. Making the unconscious conscious and choosing ways of thinking, feeling and behaving that support our desires is easy with the right teachings and guidance.
Just in terms of relationships, that has allowed me to communicate in more supportive ways, open my heart again after having it lock-down tight to protect me, love without dependence and prioritise my partner whilst being dedicated to my ambition. As importantly, I learnt how to have a beautiful, honest, transparent, loving relationship that supports all the other areas of my life in the same way that they support my relationship to the woman I love.
Now, I know that each and everyone one of us truly can choose to have all the best that life has to offer. It all starts with taking complete responsibility for doing anything and everything needed to harmonize our relationships to ourselves and others. From that foundation, all other ambitions have a stable launch pad.
WHY CONNECT TO CONQUER™
Connect to Conquer™ is an immensely powerful framework and program designed specifically to accelerate the lives of ambitious high-achievers. Freeing your mental and emotional bandwidth means you bring passion, ambition and balance back to both your personal and professional lives. Watch and feel happiness and success unfold in ways that fulfill you like never before. Happiness = Success.
So you're probably wondering, what more do I gain from all this?
- You will develop deep understanding of the values and beliefs that drive your interpersonal needs and desires so you overcome disharmony in relationship to yourself and others
- You will resolve emotional triggers caused by past events so you gain control of your mind and emotions. Doing so means you communicate more responsively (and less reactively) and keep cool, calm and clear in the most intense situations
- You will learn communication techniques and skills that harmonise your interactions with others so you can bring about the outcomes you want
- The above skills will enable you to make your partner feel more understood, valued and secure so your most significant conversations become a source of connection, love and greater togetherness
- You will gain clarity of direction in all areas of life. Align the highest values of all your ambitions to propel you faster than ever before. Direct all your energy, attention and focus very specifically to channel it productively toward what matters most
- You will reestablish the significance, the passion and drive for your love relationship so that you can be certain you are supported and uplifted by your partner, helping you excel at everything else as well
- Free yourself of that “stuck” sensation. The mental boundaries we create around a situation make it seem impossible to find a way out. Outside perspective and guidance will show you where opportunities lie to find resolution in external situations and within yourself
- You will transform your perception of your limitations so you are free to experience all new results through the power of optimistic, limitless and creative thinking
- You will thrive in the gift that is self-belief, peace and acceptance that comes from knowing you are in control of all of your life and therefore you are in control of your results
THE CONNECT TO CONQUER™ FRAMEWORK
Connect to Conquer is a non-linear framework for transformation and expansion. Using relationships as the lens for personal exploration, it allows us to strip away the layers of the past. In their place, we create a guiding force that opens you to limitless possibilities so you can balance your relationship to yourself, others and to all your ambitions.
MISSION
The mission is to become explicitly clear on how you prefer life to be. If you can imagine it, you can create it.
We will align your values, desires and beliefs in an all encompassing vision to guide your every choice and action. The purpose is to design a compelling future that acts as a light in the darkness to guide you on your path to everything that is meaningful, empowering and inspiring to you.
In the Immersion program, we go deeper into each of the most important areas of life so each one adds greater support to your overall vision.
This is so much more than a form of goal setting. THIS IS CREATING YOUR FUTURE THROUGH CONSCIOUS DESIGN. Something that very few people ever take the time to do and most successful people have.
DISCOVERY
In this process we look very closely at your current situation and circumstances. More importantly, we begin to understand how they relate to a lifetime accumulation of experiences. These underpin the conscious and unconscious choices that imprinted or programmed the beliefs, values and filters that hold you back.
Typically they are things like:
- self limiting choices and limiting beliefs
- limiting states like apathy, fear, doubt & uncertainty
- emotional triggers
- destructive states like anger, frustration, jealousy, withdrawal
- the impact of influential people, culture, events
- behavioural, thought and emotional compulsions, habits and even some addictions
- protection mechanisms
Here we make the unconscious conscious.
TRANSFORMATION
This is the fun stuff. This is the part of the process where we break down those layers.
We utilise belief change modalities and emotional release techniques to do so.
Then it gets even better.
Through conscious personal design and the exploration and choosing of supportive ideas, philosophies and strategies, you take responsibility for creating your future and the future you.
By doing so, you take control of your state, your actions and therefore the outcomes you will achieve.
EMBODIMENT
This is where the new you begins to emerge as a habit.
Now, with newfound freedom from past ways of thinking, feeling and behaving, you consistently think new thoughts, experience new emotions, make new choices and act in new ways that are guided by the meaningful and compelling future you designed. By doing so, a new and chosen identity comes to the fore.
This new identity has clearly aligned beliefs and values that support passionate and harmonious relationships balanced against and supportive of all other great ambitions.
By making the conscious unconscious again, you no longer even have to think about or try to be the new you. You just are.

***Should you decide to continue into the Immersion program, the money you invested in the intensive will be deducted from the Immersion
"An investment in yourself pays the greatest dividend in time."
WHAT'S IT WORTH?
The value of personal transformation with all its benefits is a personal thing. Putting aside the education that lasts a lifetime and the healing from past emotional events and the flexibility of identity that allows for new future possibilities - the value is related to the outcomes you want.
Ask what it's worth to you to transform your struggles the fastest way possible so you can get on with doing what matters most.
I’ve had clients who have saved their most important relationships. Another realigned with his motivation and regained his focus to such an extent that he doubled his business within 6 months thereafter. More importantly, all have done it with a new sense of lightness and freedom.
Others have related the value to me in terms of the costs avoided such as heartbreak, divorce, lost business or work productivity.
In truth, only you can decide what your transformation is worth now and what the foundations we establish now are worth over time.
So what's the investment?
I won't bullshit you by ending the value with a 97 or 99. Nor will I insult you by saying it's usually worth this but today it is worth this, just because I feel like it. The truth is that Connect to Conquer™ is worth this much and probably a whole lot more because you and the people you love deserve nothing less than an always improving you. For now, the full Connect To Conquer™ Immersion is valued at:
$7,500 AUD paid up front in full
or
3 x monthly installments of $2,700 each paid up front (Total $8,100 AUD)
Or ask me about how you can double down and go faster to take control over your struggles even sooner
$2,800 AUD paid in full in advance
or
$800 AUD paid in 4 x weekly advance instalments
TOTAL $3,200
***Should you decide to continue into the Immersion program, the money you invested in the intensive will be deducted from the Immersion based on whichever payment structure is applicable
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Who do you work with?
I work with people who are ready, willing and able to open up, confront their limitations and commit to their own transformation. My clients realise that their loved ones and the causes and projects they support deserve to see, hear and receive their absolute best. If you recognise the power of doing your inner work and are prepared to take responsibility for the results you achieve then you are ready for the guidance and support to get you there.
How do I know we are a good match for one another?
The simple fact that you’re considering this gives me reassurance. How well we connect is a foundational component of doing our most transformative work together. Our initial, complimentary consultation is an opportunity for us to get to know each other. You can ask any questions you have for me and I will do the same. If for any reason I don't think we are a fit then I will happily refer you to anyone I know that I think might be able to help you more
Do you do one off consultations?
Following one of my programs, I offer week by week continuation if a client wishes to maintain their momentum and continue to make greater transformation. This is arranged at a weekly rate calculated from the original arrangement with all the same inclusions. I prefer not to offer sporadic consultations because this work is about transformation and embodiment which requires consistency. Separately, for certain people I will offer one off consults for $500 each for specific stress, belief, emotional or past event resolution.
Is there space in the program to deal with new or extra things if they come up?
Absolutely there is. The structure of the program is a framework rather than a rigid sequence. It is designed this way to accommodate individual needs as they arise to provide you the best possible and most appropriate service. Furthermore, the things that come up are usually a great indication of where the greatest transformation needs to take place
Will there be additional work between sessions?
I like to set tasks to be undertaken between sessions. They're a good opportunity for guided introspection that does three things. 1.) it helps you to look deeper into the layers of your identity and 2.) it allows us to make greater progress in the time we work together and 3.) it allows us to go further in sessions because a lot of extra discovery is undertaken between sessions. This means we can take things much further during the period in which we are working together. It adds even more value
What do you stand for?
Fundamentally, I believe that the people and causes we love and support deserve the absolute best of us. I believe everything is a choice on some level and we all have the ability to make personal change - we just have to figure out how
What if I sign up for the Launch and want to continue into the Immersion?
The value you paid for the Induction will be credited to the cost of continuing into the Immersion at the applicable rate depending whether you choose to pay the rest up front or on a monthly basis. Should you want to do the full duration of the Immersion on top of the Induction it will obviously be billed on top
I value getting things done fast . What if I want all the outcomes of the immersion in a shorter time frame?
Let's talk. We can agree an intensive program bundled into whatever length of time you are prepared to dedicate to your transformation
What's the difference between you and a psychologist?
I guide clients to transformation that leads to success and that is not contingent upon having a degree in psychology. This is a full support service. One to one sessions last as long as need be - no clock watching. There is regular contact between sessions for additional support. Often guided activities are provided between sessions. Most importantly, it is outcomes focussed meaning we obtain the results you require. If i'm not the man for the job I'll gladly refer you on to someone more suited. Our work together does not require years worth of weekly chat. It is all about resolution and education so that your change is lifelong and you no longer need regular support thereafter.
Do you work with people face to face or remotely/online?
Both. Because I work with clients from anywhere in the world I predominantly work online via Zoom. If we happen to be living close to one another and have an appropriate space then we can work face to face.
What times are available?
We arrange times together so a suitable one can always be found. I love what I do so I am not limited to "regular work hours".
How long do sessions go for?
The basic answer is about an hour. There is no clock-watching here so I will always suggest a client allows at least 90 minutes. Occasionally I will suggest leaving even longer if we think there is more to get through on any given day.
Is there additional support between calls?
Yes. This is a fundamental part of the service I provide. One that I believe is integral to creating the greatest amount of change in the shortest amount of time
How do I know this program is suitable for me?
We have an initial call to satisfy us both that we are a good match for one another, that I am offering a program that suits your needs and that I am the right person to guide you through the transformation you seek. This work is something we do together - not something I do to you - so must be capable of taking some measure of self-responsibility for the commitment and courage you put it
What if I desperately want to commit and I'm having trouble finding the money?
Let's talk. I'm sure we can agree a payment structure that suits us both
