THE PRACTISED LIFE
Meaning-Centred Coaching and Mentoring
As a member of a family business, are you are carrying more than one serious challenge at the same time?
The marriage and the business?
The grief and the career?
The identity that no longer fits and the one that has not yet formed?
The simultaneous weight of succession conflict, business distress, and a marriage in crisis?
The required full-scale public performance, while no single adviser knows the private cost?
Being a senior professional whose defining role has ended, and has discovered that the structures which created your identity are gone, and you have no replacement architecture for your life yet?
Being that person whose therapist has addressed the acute crisis, but now needs ongoing support for the existential question that remains: Given that this has happened, how do I continue, and on what terms?
It’s a lot to carry. And you are tired. You’ve tried endurance. And endurance kept you upright, but has it told you why remaining upright matters?
I know this because I lived it. For 17 years, across a protracted divorce, the near-collapse of a 115-year-old family enterprise, and the long work of becoming a father my sons could trust, I documented a daily practice of philosophical survival through journalling.
Not therapy. Not motivation. Not a programme to complete.
But a practice. A discipline.
A way of holding steady when everything is in motion.
