  3. EmotionsBuild resilience, composure and sovereignty in difficult situations – the true strength of a man – feared and appreciated by men, loved by women.

BUILDING HEALTHY PATTERNS WITH SYSTEM

IMPRESSIONS

AND A LITTLE FOOD FOR THOUGHT

Who am I? Scholars all over the world have been studying this topic for centuries. And they are all searching for the true self. This story from ancient Persia already hit the nail on the head back then:

Vlong, long ago, the gods sat together to discuss what they should do with the wisdom of the universe in order to preserve it from humans until they were mature enough for it.

One of the gods suggested hiding wisdom on the highest mountain on earth. But they quickly realized that man would soon climb all the mountains and that wisdom would not be hidden safely enough on the mountain top.

Then another suggested hiding wisdom in the deepest part of the sea. But even there, the gods thought there was a danger that people would find the wisdom too soon.

Then the wisest of all gods spoke up: "Let us hide the wisdom of the universe in man himself. He will only look for it there as soon as he is mature enough. And that only happens when he takes the path into his inner self."

The other gods were delighted by this proposal and so they hid the wisdom of the universe in man himself.

In principle we know what good is for us and have the answers to all the important questions already within us. And yet we often (if not for the longest time) do something different than we should... why? Because the wisdom of the universe is usually not really accessible and conscious to us. Because that would require precisely the maturity that the Persian gods spoke about. Time to get back to the source.

Nature of Man

The Nature of Man program deals with our true self and ways to find it again. As the name suggests, we look specifically at ourselves as men. Of course, women have the same questions about themselves. But honestly, we men already have enough to do with ourselves and leave women's issues to the women during our work.

Nature of Man is a very special form of personal development. We see it as a journey to yourself. To being a true man, to the power of your inner wisdom.

THE hero in you wants to be freed

Act 1: Departure

Every hero's journey begins with a wake-up call that reaches the hero of the story. This hero is you, even if you don't know it yet. At the beginning you will ask yourself, "What is this Nature of Man program anyway and why should it appeal to me of all people?"

Your subconscious has already responded to the call. You don't yet know exactly what it's really about, but you're still curious. You want to know more. Your intuition tells your mind: "Stay tuned, find out more. What do you have to lose?"

The first step is to arrange a no-obligation meeting with one of our top trainers. Perhaps he or she will be your future mentor during this program? During the conversation, many things will become clearer to you and you will know whether the time has come to make one of the best decisions of your life.

Act 2: Adventure

Time to leave your comfort zone and embark on an adventure. 6 different tests await you. Every day, you will focus on one of your 6 essential areas of life and let the true man in you have his say.

  1. Physical fitness: strength, vitality, stability and health.
  2. Mental fitness: Clear head, clear goals, commitment to yourself and the word you have given.
  3. Emotional fitness: resilience, composure and confidence in difficult situations. The true strength of a man. Feared and valued by men, loved by women.
  4. Social fitness means showing compassion instead of pity. Understanding instead of agreeing. Listening instead of talking. Helping without expectation. Giving without giving in return. Doing without complaining.
  5. Material fitness: make the most of opportunities. Keep your common sense in all material matters.
  6. Spiritual fitness. Walk your talk, be your best possible self! Focus on the big questions in life.

Each day ends with a test, the result of which will show you whether you are already a mature, holistic thinking and feeling man in this area of life or whether and how much potential you still have.

The important thing is: you are now on your way and you are not alone!

With the completion of the final exam, you will be solemnly welcomed into the community of the Nature of Man included. A community of men, forged through shared experiences, formative adventures and the knowledge that all members value each other and can rely on each other.

Act 3: The return

As a newborn man, you return to your everyday life and cross the second threshold. Parts of the old world will try to bring you back into your old life. You may even encounter resistance and envy. But your newfound self-confidence, clarity and inner strength will allow you to continue on your new path. Unwavering and yet adaptable. Straightforward, respectful and self-determined. You are a master of both the old and the new world.

Act 4: Your mission

Tell as many men as you can about your hero's journey and help them to release their inner hero too. The world can use more of us - especially now, at this time.

The Holistic Life Cycle

As we all know, every person is unique. This is precisely why it is almost impossible to truly and deeply understand this person in the fullness of their personality.

In our work as coaches, trainers and mentors, we always try to get as close as possible to this true personality with the help of different models and tools. A holistic view is very important to us in order to recognize, experience and experience as many facets of a person as possible.

The Holistic Life Cycle is a suitable, holistic model that was developed by our senior coach Stefan Sillmann after a conversation with his own spiritual teacher. It sees the human being as a unity of body, mind and soul. After many long hours and days, the model that is now complete was gradually developed with 6 fields or, as Stefan has named them, the six fitness areas of life.

The original name for the model was: "The Holistic Life Cycle", but every time Stefan announced this model in his coaching sessions with exactly that name, you always had the feeling that the coachee was thinking: 'But I don't want that! How did Stefan come up with this? Well, his gestures and facial expressions were clear!

In the end, the coaching model was called the "Holistic Life Cycle" and we know that there are many other coaches who have adopted and adapted it for themselves (with his approval, of course), which he is happy about because it means it works!

Building healthy patterns

Studies show that our brain needs at least 30 days to establish new habits. 90% of all new projects fail within this period!
That's exactly why we support you for a whole 90 days and help you in your change process.
