Last week, I had the great privilege of befriending Jean Oelwang – the CEO of Virgin Unite – Sir Richard Branson’s not-for-profit organization.
Jean has met some pretty influential leaders in her time working for Sir Richard, and she told me a story that inspired me and confirmed something I’ve suspected for a long time.
Jean shared with me that she spent a few days on Nekker Island with The Elders.
The Elders is a group of the greatest peace makers and social revolutionaries of our time. It was founded by Nelson Mandela, is chaired by Archbishop Desmond Tutu and includes people like Kofi Annan and Jimmy Carter.
Recently, Sir Richard charged Jean with the task of observing and studying The Elders (during their time on his Caribbean Island) to find out what they all had in common.
In this candid interview, I share openly about the ups and downs of my romantic life and how my partner and I learned to create a relationship that acts as an incubator for self awareness and personal transformation.
You’ll learn:
How I ended my depression without pills or therapy…
How letting go of everything might just get you everything you’ve hoped for…
How to get your romantic partner to open up to you…
Why waiting for your partner to initiate intimacy is a trap that never works and what to do instead…

If you ask me what I do for a living, I’m unlikely to reply “Relationship Breakup Coach“. However, it appears that the powers that be seem to think I’m up to the job of helping people heal from heartbreak.
How did I get this title?
Well, it all started with me sharing the intimate, most vulnerable feelings about my last breakup on this very blog. As I often do when I am facing a problem I have no idea how to solve (in this case, getting my ex back), I researched breakups, relationships and romantic partnerships from the best of the best.
Soon, word spread that I knew a thing or two about the human dynamics that occur between two people when they breakup, and I was approached to “open” the Breakup Solution Summit as their keynote speaker.
In the interview below, you’ll learn practical advice, healing insights and powerful tools to not just get over and heal from a break up, but also how to communicate with your ex, and when to let go.

Ever noticed how your current relationships may turning out very similar to your past relationships – business or romantic?
If you’ve ever broken up with someone, or been the one on the receiving end of a breakup conversation, you know how painful breakups can be. Also, you probably know how easy it is to carry the hurt and pain of a past relationship into all your future ones…
When we don’t complete our relationships powerfully and with love (i.e. completion means wrapping them up once they end such that you feel empowered), we carry the pain, hurt and unnecessary meaning (emotional baggage) from that relationship into future relationships.
To help avoid this destructive pattern, I’ve created 5 short conversations to have with your ex (business partner or lover), so that you both leave the relationship with your power and sense of self in tact.
Interestingly, when my last relationship ended, I went through this process with my ex… We were both in tears of appreciation for each other afterward.
One month later, she called me saying that she wanted to spend the rest of her life as my life partner. We’re back together now and deeper in love than ever before. I don’t think that could have happened without these 5 conversations. Read the rest of this entry
In this article you’ll learn a time tested technique for becoming the kind of person that is considered sexy, commands respect, and has people knocking down their door wanting to help them succeed.
A few questions before we get started…
Why is it that the doors of love, wealth, power, achievement and joy seem to naturally open for some people, while for the majority of the population these things seem like pipe dreams their entire lives?
What magic makes people who are successful at dating and relationships different from those who are not?
What magic allows Richard Branson have so much influence that just by saying he plans to invest in a business increases it’s share price?
Is it their track record, their network, their skill set, their personality, luck even?
Actually it’s all of those things and more, but if you were to put a magic umbrella over them all, the answer to that question would be TRUST.
In my opinion, a conscious, loving relationship is THE SINGLE most powerful transformational tool there is. Whether or not you’re in a relationship or interested in learning about the conscious kind, the distinctions I am about to share will be useful in any context, because our lives are made up of relationships.
If you’ve been a regular reader of this blog, you probably know that my last relationship recently broke down. This got me thinking about what I want in a future partner and what I feel will make it last…
I’m going to approach the concept of “conscious romantic relationships” as a system, with components that make the system run as designed…
Although the 7 components I will put forward here don’t include every piece of the puzzle, these are the ones I find most useful. I hope you do too.

By writing this, I am not claiming to be a relationship expert. However, I’ve screwed up and loved in enough relationships to have learned a thing or two about what doesn’t work and what does.
1. Close Your Escape Hatches
In romantic relationships, we all have escape hatches – ways to avoid dealing with the issues that confront us when we embark on the journey of loving another in the context of a committed relationship. Read the rest of this entry
This is a continuation of the series of posts about my healing process after Amy and I split up. If you haven’t yet read part 1 and part 2, I recommend you do so after reading this.
After spinning into the depths of despair when my girlfriend (Amy) broke up with me last month, I’m on the up and up again. This is good news!
The easy thing to do would have been to take my foot off the gas after having experienced so much pain, but I know that NOW is the best time to do the important work of turning myself inside out to ensure that I don’t repeat the same patterns in my next relationship.
Adele (my ex-wife) stepped in to support me healing and recommended I re-read Harville Hendrix’s book, “Getting The Love You Want.” It was an eye opener, so much so that I want to dedicate a post to what I learned from this extraordinary relationship therapist…
Have you ever wondered why you keep attracting to the same type of relationship over and over again, even when you don’t want to? Read the rest of this entry
