Meet Paul

Back in 2019, I had a life-changing moment. I had a breakdown.

I mean full-on, world-falling-away-from-my-feet, dark night of the soul stuff.

I’d moved to Thailand to ‘live the dream’:

To escape the rat race.

To become a digital nomad and start an online business.

To live in paradise.

The only problem was, paradise soon became hell.

The truth is, I was running away from problems I’d spent decades ignoring, and they’d finally caught up with me.

Isolated, not eating, thousands of miles away from home…

I was in serious trouble and knew I had to come back.

On returning home, family and friends immediately saw what
was happening and threw their arms around me.

There were days when I couldn’t get out of bed.

There were lots of tears.

There were days when I thought the unthinkable.

But...

I started seeing a therapist.

I worked on my diet and incorporated exercise into my life.

I started working with a coach.

But most importantly, I started to focus on my mind and my mindset.

Once I had climbed back out of the deepest, darkest hole, I started to think about how I could turn something so dark into something that could help others.

And so, I decided to work with men who also want to bring about change.

Background

I spent nearly 20 years as a major donor fundraiser; securing donations for various charities from high-net-worth-individuals. I once chatted to Rod Stewart in The Ritz about football and Prince Philip at The Chelsea Flower Show (ask me about these!)

I’m a certified NLP Master Practitioner and Trainer. NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) is the ‘study of the structure of your subjective experience’ – basically how you ‘do’ your world. I started to learn about NLP back in 2012, due to persistent periods of depression, and I wanted something that would help me to master my mind.

I created my signature programme, MAN:tra, to help men master their mind, and subsequently maximise their life. I want other men to experience the power of NLP, so they too can achieve their outcomes. To be – and do – better, in a way that is right for them.

I currently live in Staffordshire, after having spent nearly 15 years in London. Whilst it’s certainly a lot quieter here, my cockapoo Ralph loves the forests this place provides (and the endless squirrels he gets to chase).

People always ask me what I’ve done personally, using the
NLP tools and techniques that you have access to on our MAN:tra experience.
Here’s a few examples:

I secured millions of pounds worth of donations, in my role
as a major donor fundraiser, from high-net-worth-individuals.

I created three different training and coaching businesses
in the areas of major donor fundraising, investment banking and now men’s
personal development.

I won the jackpot on a gameshow (before my move to live in
Rio De Janeiro in Brazil in 2009).

I wrote a book, called ‘Normal Loaded People’, whilst
running my previous training company, for major donor fundraisers.

But most importantly, I learned to how be happy and
grateful.

And that, for me, is priceless.

can have access to these life-changing tools and techniques.
