044 - What it's like coaching men with Mike Campbell

<p><strong>The challenges, the triumphs, and the deep purpose of coaching men:</strong></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Here’s something that comes up</span> <em><span style="font-weight: 400;">a lot</span></em> <span style="font-weight: 400;">in my work with men - the idea that guys are and feel the need to be a ‘Lone Wolf’.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We have glorified the idea of a man being entirely self-sufficient, never needing anyone or anything, no weakness, no whole in his wide and expansive capabilities.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Because if you’re not a lone wolf, well, you’re weak, you’re pathetic, there’s something</span> <em><span style="font-weight: 400;">wrong</span></em> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">with you, you’re less of a man.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Let me put my hand up right now and say - what total bollocks.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">At best a Lone Wolf fights to survive. Just to survive. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">So as a Lone Wolf, when you take on that identity, what you're signing up for is at best surviving. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">And when you're in survival mode, you can't have a very rich, fulfilling, rewarding life because all you're doing is fighting off death. Because at best he survives. At worst, the lone Wolf dies. Whereas the pack thrives.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">And that is what brings me to the podcast episode I have recorded for you today.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">After many questions about this and butting up against it first in myself for many years and now in countless me in my work, I have developed an ethos that centres around being in a pack, i.e.e having other good men in your corner as you work on yourself.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">And so, I have addressed this idea and the questions I get about coaching men.</span></p> <p> </p> <h3><strong>In this Episode:</strong></h3
