“I will realize that the future is a probability. In terms of ordinary experience, nothing exists there yet. It is virgin territory, planted by my feelings and thoughts in the present.” — Seth (Jane Roberts)
We all have moments in our life where we have the experience we are exactly where we are meant to be. It often feels like all the gears in life conspired to materialize that experience. These movements of life often feel like the hand of infinity has nudged us in favor of a new trajectory. One that is mysterious, insightful, and invigorating.
Your reading this now could be one of these movements in your life. I don’t know what brought you here, but chances are, it is not by chance. Perhaps you can relate?
It was 2003 when I first learned that my perception of the world around me was the creative force behind my life’s experiences.
“I wish I could make a career out of this!” I told myself with the most excitement, sincerity, and desire. My wish for that future became an electromagnetic maelstrom, pulling along with it a family of ideas, people, resources, and events — all of which has manifested as today’s form.
What I get to do today was once a dream.
At first, I came across the martial arts (3rd Dan Taekwondo). Through my loving instructors (Lindsay Osborne, Maria De Rota, Lee Chung Won, and Park Have Man) I learned about the power of our conscious attention and breath. I hurled myself into competitive sparring, hoping to overcome my fear and dominate my opponent — this would often fail. Instead, I stumbled upon a greater path to winning — Love.
Along the way, I learned to master the power of the written word through Robert Collier. Through the artform of copywriting and ghostwriting, I learned that the written word was much more than a means of communication— it is a method of creation. The words dancing off every page have the power to change the way we think, feel, and act in life. It is the same with words you speak or hear, both on the inside and out.
Finally, and most significantly, I discovered Marin-style NLP (Transformational NLP), attributed to Carl Buchheit (Co-Founder of NLP Marin and Training Director), Carla Camou (Trainer), Michelle Masters (Trainer), and it’s many loving predecessors such as Jonathan Rice (first clinical psychologist to merge NLP into this practice) and other teachers of non-corporeal forms.
Its ever-evolving curriculum provided me the necessary codex from which to both codify and extend the transformational work I do. The goal is to assist clients to achieve change and growth such that you do not have to defeat, overcome, or submit any aspect of yourself to get what you want. Tricky business I must say. But there are a few main pillars to our style of change work:
Unify the wonderful criteria of your creature neurology (safety & belonging), human Self (growth), and Soul Self (value fulfillment) so they can all row in the same direction.
Extend validity to all aspects of your being, your emotions & experiences, and behaviors so that you do not need to sacrifice anything to feel inherently good, worthy, deserving, and Whole.
Facilitate (not fix) so that change sustains in your life without your ever remembering things being different, and, without you having to try to be different.
Work with your nature (natural tendencies, likes, dislikes, inclinations, and disinclinations) not against it.
My early practice of this work was primarily in the business and Bay Area startup space, where I coached founders, C-suite, and executives. To date, I have helped early-stag startups raise more than 800MM+ in venture capital, and navigate extremely turbulent macro environments, all while assisting them to evolve quickly to suit the needs of their business at numerous growth inflections. If you look closely, you will see numerous footprints of NLP Marin’s work across many executive coaches and their institutions in Silicon Valley.
Today, it is my intention to extend this work to any human who feels compelled to express their excellence and to continue learning within their precious expedition called Life. It is in servicing and assisting others to learn more about themselves and their eternal validity that I get to appreciate the triumph of my multidimensionality in human form.
As one of the numerous successors of this Field of work, I extend the invitation to work together.
“One good illustration is worth a thousand words. But one clear picture built up in the reader's mind by your words is worth a thousand drawings, for the reader colors that picture with his own imagination, which is more potent than all the brushes of all the world's artists." — Robert Collier
