Hey there! 

I never thought of myself as an author.  In fact, my English tutor from school would be in disbelief at that claim.  But I have written myself a new story for how I live my life - so I guess I can claim that title! I found the way to put down my old story and write a new one. One that I designed to be purposeful and fulfilling in all areas of my life.  And now it’s become true, a living reality.

I have been a CEO and a highly successful leader in world-class organisations, where I have led and coached thousands of people across Australia and South East Asia.  I know what it takes to be successful in business, and also the toll it can take on you.   Like many of you reading this I have lived the story where you push through stress, burnout and anxiety.  

Where you have nothing left at the end of the day for the other parts and people in your life.  Where you surrender your agenda to that of others. Sometimes only when you pause and reflect do you realise how far things have gotten off track.  This was difficult for me to accept as I always felt I would be the guy who had everything sorted out. 

While I know what it feels like to be trapped by the surrounding circumstances that you unwittingly created for yourself while you were busy trying make a great life for you and your family - and I know what it takes to change it for the better too.

A lifelong passion for personal development and a curiosity for life led me to make the transition from corporate to coaching.  This is where my business partner Josh and I joined paths creating a process and a business to help others also discover their own purpose. Having clarified and now living my own, I truly believe everyone can and should discover their purpose.  

I love helping others to realise their potential, unlock growth, find meaning and bring to life their purpose.   Everyone has a unique story, and the ability to write their next chapters of that story too.   It would be a great privilege to hear yours and work with you.     

Cheers,

Ben

Hey there,

I’ve not grown up being very philosophical but with a little reflection and some self-awareness, I’ve asked myself, ’how often do we roll along in life merely being reactive to it’s circumstances? Fixing something only when it breaks, addressing our problems only when they really threaten our well-being and just existing from day to day?" For me (and I’ve since learned many others) life meandered along where I found myself just surviving……. going through the motions, routinely living each day without meaning and fulfilment. . I had to admit to myself that I was burnt out, lacking energy, drive and motivation and completely off purpose.

This led me to re-define my purpose and I changed my life in the process. I sold my Physiotherapy and Allied Health business where I had worked, led, helped, coached and guided for 20 years and decided on a new direction. To be honest I had no idea what this looked like but I was propelled by the excitement of doing something that involved my passions, my interest and that allowed me the freedom and flexibility I was craving.

Doing the work on myself allowed me to understand where I needed to direct my attention. Coaching and guiding others towards purpose and meaning, coaching organisations to achieve effective wellbeing and clinical excellence in high performance sport became my professional passion pursuits. Importantly I realised that when you chase your passions, freedom and flexibility become plentiful.

I teamed up with great friend and colleague Ben Summons to start Purpose & Flow coaching & The Corporate Athlete. We began using our unique processes and tools to empower Business Owners, Executives, Professionals and Employees to find clarity, purpose and fulfilment in their life. Addtionally, I re-invented my love for clinical physiotherapy within the High Performance sector with the QAS (Queensland Academy of Sport) and now consult to Skate Australia, BMX Freestyle and Golf Australia for this Olympic cycle and beyond. 

I’ve lived and breathed the stress, anxiety, lack of motivation and dissatisfaction that many of you will have felt BUT I’ve successfully navigated my way forward.  I’ve found the freedom, joy and happiness I once had when I was younger and it’s this that I want to help others achieve.

I believe we all have this potential inside us to change and design our own life and live it now. Just as I did, you have the choice to do so and change your life forever.

With purpose

Josh
