They're unhappy because success isn't everything they anticipated. Many realise the money, status and influence no longer justifies the increasing compromises imposed on their lives.
They're looking for an answer or an exit, but don't want to lose face or everything they've worked for in the process. Most intuitively know something's adrift and deal with it before they find themselves cut off.
But a handful are already out on their own. They're isolated at the top of a mountain because when the path got rocky, they carried on climbing regardless. Left questioning their choices and decisions, their judgement and resolve, they’re now wondering how to get back down.
Struggling to reconnect to themselves, others and the world around them, they face a personal or professional precipice that has the potential to turn seriously ugly.
It's my job to help them step back from the edge.

The inner sanctum of my mind, often random blurts and brand-dumps du jour. Sometimes researched, structured articles appear based on my application of models and theories from psychology, neuroscience and society at large. Sometimes.
