Pauline McKernan
Coach & Experience Designer
Pauline is known by people as the silent rock who may appear to sit in the shadows but nothing could be further from the truth. Her true passions are her family, traveling and the work we do. I may have a big mouth but Pauline is the one with the big heart. Personally I think she should be playing a greater role at the retreats I run and while I know this scares the crap out of her I say this with compassion: Get over it!

Matthew Lütz
Creative Director
Well, Matt has the hardest job as he looks after my image and that’s hard as he’s not a makeup artist. Matt however does look after all our online presence and runs a fine line between letting the world know about my message, and coming across as simply trying to sell you shit you don’t need. The mind of a marketer and the heart of a lion.

Amy Steele
Client Liaison & Assistant to Philip McKernan
Amy is the air traffic controller for our company and is the first line of contact. She is responsible for keeping the company running like a well-oiled machine. Her job is akin to herding cats, but she does it with style and vigor.

Philip McKernan
Speaker, Filmmaker & Enlightened Hooligan
Well, I am fantastic, beautiful and gorgeous. I get very few perks and being the one writing these short bios is one that I am going to take advantage of. Joking aside, I think on occasions I love the work I do too much. I am the one who does most of the talking and I am very humbled when people listen.

On a more serious note…
I always wanted a small team who wanted to help others and were good at what they did. I have neither. What I do have is a small and dedicated team who get what I do and deeply care about our clients and just happen to be brilliant at what they do. We dont have time for politics, put our hands up when we make mistakes (and we do make them), make decisions based on impact, not profit, and have some laughs along the way. What I am most proud of our team is that we ALL believe in growing as people and each member have honoured me to the core by attending one or more of the live experiences I run.
Special Thanks
I’m a very visual person by nature, so when it came time to creating our new brand and website, I wanted to use visuals that moved me to my core and that stirred something up in my soul – and the photography of Cole Thompson does just that. His work is powerful, gritty, real and bold, much like the work that we do. So I wanted to give a special thanks to Cole for letting his fantastic work grace our website.
