“Just go for it”
“Live your best life”
“You have your whole life before you”
Why does well meaning advice and encouragement from the people around us seem to paralyze us with overwhelming burden rather than propel us into creative and life giving endeavours?
Sure we want to live our best life.
Sure we want to become the best versions of ourselves.
Sure we want to use what we’ve been given for the good of others.
But somehow soundbite sentiments don’t seem to capture the nuance of our particular situations.
I’ve found there are deeper challenges at play that hinder our progress.
We are living at a time when systems and society are shaping us to become people of comfort. Or put another way, we are trained to avoid or medicate any forms of discomfort with the help of overly efficient apps, recreational pursuits, drugs (literally), pornography, self gratifying hookups and transactional relationships. Rather than face discomfort and grow from it, our default is to find comfort. Instead than applying our creativity to problem solving, we passively consume.
We are now comparing ourselves on a daily basis with people we have never met across other parts of the world versus a time when comparison was just with a neighbour or small village over decades. The result is we live with constant self doubt and constantly seek affirmation - even though we may be affirmed from a few close people around us.
While all my work with clients is at the deep transformation level, I created "Immersion" specifically for those at a crossroad in life and who desired to get the best of me including a behind the scenes look at how I approached all of life including business, relationships, creativity, personal health and spirituality.
Here are the key components of this 10 month all-of-life "Immersion" program.
Development of your personal branding and profile for purposes of work and creative endeavors
An individual project that tangibly connects your gifts to what the world needs e.g. Business, research, leadership or creative
An in-person experience in Vancouver, Canada with me including behind the scenes insight into my life and business
Development of whole of life practices utilizing the LiveHolystic framework that will help you sustain health over the longer term
1:1 mentoring/coaching sessions and collaborative input from other leaders to help you keep on track with your redesigned life and accompanying commitments
I'm James and I'll be with you on the journey every step of the way.
What makes this program apart from anything else you'll ever do?
Well, in essence the difference is found in both you and me. Your willigness to offer your whole-self, your disappointments, your dreams and your wrestles to the process. And my commitment to bring the best out of you utilising the best of me including my diverse experiences, training and connections.

Still on the fence on whether this is for you? Well if the program makes you feel a bit edgy, uncomfortable and slightly excited, then I'd say that's a good sign.
The Immersion program is not like anything else.
It provides ways forward through some of the most pressing challenges facing society including unhealthy addictions and coping behaviours, decision paralysis, deep community unbelonging and identity.
It is positioned to come alongside someone’s schedule and help propel them in a new direction while navigating their current day realities
It incluedes structured learning experiences that incorporates a blend of deep coaching, spiritual guidance and mindset training while providing unstructured opportunities where change is "caught more than taught"

For as long as I could remember, it was so normal for me to feel hopeless and stuck. Whenever I was faced with the need to change my life, it felt like I had already tried everything and it felt like "this is as good as it gets". James was able to come alongside me on this journey, not just as someone who spoke life and encouragement, but as somebody who was careful in being real and honest with me. Nothing was ever simple throughout this process, but that was one of the reasons why I knew deep and lasting work was being done.

James helped me understand myself holistically and I learnt to apply a new mindset, practices and tools that make me a better person. If you feel stuck in your struggles, I'd recommend you consider this program to approach your challenges from a different angle. Having James as a coach and facilitator makes an immense difference. He's gone through the same experiences and can speak from his own journey.

"James’ secret weapon is that he truly cares. He is one of those rare people whose wisdom ranges over any sphere of life as he has the ability to see into the unique needs of a situation, and communicate effectively whatever is needed to find wholeness. I would not only recommend James, I would broadcast my support on national TV
Ivy Adara

"James is a warm and deeply empathetic person who pours his immense energy into a genuine passion for helping others be their best selves. Having overcome a number of significant challenges in his own personal life to build a successful entrepreneurial and corporate career, he brings a wealth of experience and wisdom to every conversation.
