22.01.2022 A great morning with NZ South Island’s best bankers from ASB. Such a passionate and enthusiastic group who represent over 170 years of corporate history supporting the financial welfare of their fellow Kiwi’s with great pride. #mindsense #mentalhealth #mentalstrength #iamenough #emotionalcocktails
22.01.2022 Off to Auckland to speak at the OnGas conference and help them to make sense of their minds. Life itself is ‘benign’. It just exists around us. Our experience of it though is often quite different. Instead of thinking you had a tough day realise that it was your experience of the day that was tough. So how do you change your experience of aspects of your life that create discomfort? The discomfort is not created by external factors it is created by your internal struggle with these factors. Hence the answers lie within. Start by looking in the right place!
19.01.2022 Another awesome bunch of people for our MINDsense Retreat this weekend. Great conversations, shared insights and experiences and we were beautifully nourished by my gorgeous wife Vanessa who looked after us all with such style and grace. So blessed to have courageous people that honour us with their presence at Karinya for our weekends of learning, growing and evolving!
19.01.2022 Our next MINDsense Retreat is scheduled for June 17th to 20th at the beautiful Karinya in the Byron Hinterland. Message me if you’d like more details.
17.01.2022 It’s very easy for the sub conscious mind to be obsessed with what we’ve lost right now. On what is wrong! Much better for your mental health to consciously focus on what you’ve got. On what good things we’re seeing right now and the examples of the best of mankind. Such an important time to practise gratitude during these strange days.... What are 3 things you’re grateful for right now?
17.01.2022 Over the last 12 months I have had the pleasure of working with one of the smartest groups of people I have encountered in my 19 years teaching MINDsense; The Data Analytics team at CBA. They embody everything about High Performance Behaviour and it is no wonder that they have the global reputation that they do. When it came to our final session and the chance to put in front of them someone who was the best in the world at what they do I chose Kerri Pottharst. Kerri understands what it takes to be world class and the process it takes to execute and deliver on a dream. Only a few win Olympic Gold Medals and even fewer can articulate the process that produces such a world class result! Thanks Kerri for your generosity and insights!

15.01.2022 There is no better way to describe the MINDsense Retreats at Karinya than this quote. If you are ready to find yourself or feeling lost come and join us in February for our next retreat.
14.01.2022 A great morning in Wellington with the ASB Bank crew. What an enthusiastic and energetic team to carry on a 172 year history that ASB has serving the financial interests of Kiwis. Thanks for having me team!!
14.01.2022 Well that’s a wrap for our MINDsense retreats for 2018. An awesome group last weekend who have all left feeling ‘enough’ and with a new sense of direction and purpose, ready to take ownership of their lives and, most importantly, how they experience life! If you’re keen we will be back with our next Retreat in February next year from February 14th to 17th at Karinya. Time to change the way your think, quieten the mind and begin experiencing more joy and peace in life?
14.01.2022 So incredibly proud of this young man Diego Ferri. About 3 months ago I was asked to work with him by Brisa Hennessy, world #10 ranked women’s surfer, who I’ve been working with for the last 18 months. Today, at 16 years of age and still a junior, he won the US NSSA Open Surfing Championship. Couldn’t be prouder of this awesome achievement. He’s surrounded by a beautiful, supportive and nurturing family and he is a wonderful young man bought up on solid values. A joy to work ...with! Just the beginning of the journey champ!
14.01.2022 A Sioux creation story says that long ago the Creator gathered all of Creation and said, "I want to hide something from the humans until they are ready for it. It is the realization that they create their own reality." The eagle said, "Give it to me, I will take it to the moon." The Creator said, "No. One day they will go there and find it." The salmon said, "I will bury it on the bottom of the ocean." "No. They will go there too."... The buffalo said, "I will bury it on the Great Plains." TheCreator said, "They will cut into the skin of the Earth and find it even there." Grandmother Mole, who lives in the breast of Mother Earth, and who has no physical eyes but sees with spiritual eyes, said, "Put it inside of them." And the Creator said, "It is done." See more
13.01.2022 A great day in Auckland yesterday with 80 senior executives from ASB spent exploring what impacts the way that we experience life. Given that the way we experience something is a reflection of how we feel in that situation and that feelings arise within us perhaps we should start looking internally for insights rather than blaming external factors like our circumstances or other people. Just something to think about this Friday.....
11.01.2022 One of the most important traits in life is curiosity, the desire to keep exploring and learning and challenging the status quo. It is this trait that I have admired in Pete Evans for a few years now. His desire to challenge some traditional views that haven’t necessarily served us well and to present alternatives. I also love his youthful enthusiasm and approach to life, something we have in common.... It was such a pleasure and delight to be asked to share some insights with Pete for his Podcast Series. I hope you enjoy listening.... #mindsense #mindfulness #bestversionofself https://play.acast.com//4497335d-009f-4d55-b90e-306665af19
10.01.2022 If you want to defeat the enemy, first you have to recognise it!
09.01.2022 It's long overdue I know but I am finally responding to the demand from my clients to offer a structured approach to helping people achieve promotion to the next level of leadership. Let me know if you are interested in hearing more. #leadership #achieve
08.01.2022 Our first MINDsense Retreat for 2019 - what a great 3 days with wonderful people committed to changing the way they experience life. It’s always such a pleasure for Vanessa and I to work with people who bring so much energy, enthusiasm and passion to our retreats here at Karinya.
07.01.2022 So how are the trillions the world spends on arms and warfare going to help us right now? Money only needed to be spent because of the rhetoric of the insecure on all sides who peddle mistrust, division and greed that pits one person against another. But all of humanity is in this together and we can only get through this together!... This crises will be solved because one country’s talented scientists will find a cure and they will collaborate with colleagues across the globe to do so and then they will share it with all of mankind, friends and supposed foes alike! I feel at this time it is really important to be conscious of the lessons we are collectively learning as we grow through this experience. This will help keep us focused on positive outcomes and the possibility of a better world. I hope that in a few months time we can reflect that the first lesson we have learnt is that it has been love, care and compassion for our fellow man that has helped us to get through this. The second lesson is that the only war we need ever face as a race is against enemies of the whole of mankind. Enemies such as diseases like Coronavirus, hunger, poverty and our destructive impact on the environment to name a few! When the dust settles it is time to abandon investment in weapons of destruction and to invest in the welfare of all mankind and in restoring the health of our planet. No more mistrust, just love, compassion, empathy and concern for our fellow human and the planet. Please feel free to share if you agree. Maybe if enough people share this sentiment the world might become a softer, kinder place where our resources are put to the greater good!
06.01.2022 In these days of growing uncertainty in this fragile world in which we live it has perhaps never been more important to consciously manage your mental health. As globalization has become the new normal in a world that is getting smaller the current levels of uncertainty seem unlikely to abate any time soon. How are you thinking about this situation? While it is nonetheless a challenging time for all are you thoughts logical, rationale and providing a level of calmness? Are yo...u maintaining a level of consciousness about what’s real rather than imagined or perceived or is your sub conscious running amok with its fears, doubts and catastrophe? What impact are you having on those around you? This is a time for a purposeful, diligent and thoughtful approach. What actions can you take to give yourself the best chance of getting through these difficult times? Who do you need to be right now? Conscious intent rather than the panic and drama often created by the subconscious mind. You are enough. You will deal with this as you have every other challenge that life has thrown your way. It is a time for mindfulness and consciousness. Stay the course!! #mindsense #mindfulness #youareenough #consciousness #bestversionofself
05.01.2022 Just a few from this mornings harvest. Ready for our Retreat guests this week. Love fuerte avocados.
05.01.2022 You have no work to do on self. You just have to wake up to who you already are! When you awaken, the peace you were born into returns.You have no work to do on self. You just have to wake up to who you already are! When you awaken, the peace you were born into returns.
05.01.2022 It takes just as much energy to consciously work out how to achieve a goal as it does for your sub conscious mind to tell you why it isn’t possible. Your call!
04.01.2022 It’s always great when your message resonates with your audience.... and they take the time to let you know. Hi Mike Thanks for a brilliant session at our Conference last week.

Many thanks again amd congrats on making a positive difference in the world.
04.01.2022 We are feeling blessed and excited to be able to relaunch in 2021 our MINDsense Retreats at Karinya [www.Karinya-Byron.com]. The first in February was sold out and a great success and our March retreat next week is also sold out. There are a couple of spots left for the April Retreat [15th to 18th]. If you are keen, send me a message. There is perhaps no better way to explain the retreat journey than the quote below.
