We help you fulfil your potential and become the best version of yourself: confident, successful, powerful, yet relaxed and loving, with good communication skills and relationship skills; feeling good about yourself, having peace of mind and being happy.
SOELmethod combines the latest, scientifically proven personal development techniques, with the best of ancient wisdom.

A personal development coach helps you create a more enjoyable and fulfilling life.
Personal Development Coaching
Personal development coaching is available in group format and as one-on-one sessions. A personal development coach accelerates your transformational journey by helping you get unstuck, then bringing clarity and direction to guide you through the many possible paths, and help you avoid the pitfalls.
A personal development coach has three main tasks:
- Information Giver
Shares information and techniques about the best ways to do things. - Insights and Feedback
Is an objective observer, who gives you honest, unbiased feedback, points out what’s in your blind spot, and asks you questions that you wouldn’t ask yourself. - Motivator
Reminds you that you can enjoy a life that is much better than just ‘normal’, and focuses you on taking the small steps that keep you improving.
Group Coaching Sessions
A group of about 8 people meet weekly or fortnightly for 8 2-hour coaching sessions. The groups are part personal development course and part support group: about one third of the time being class/teaching, and two-thirds being group sharing and discussion. Groups may continue for another 8 sessions and thus become ongoing support groups and the participants may develop good friendships.
Available Live in Arnhem, Netherlands or online via Zoom.
Individual Coaching Sessions
If you want to turbocharge your personal development, and get help with letting go of the thoughts, beliefs, and behavior patterns that are preventing you from experiencing your full potential, then this is for you. One-on-one coaching sessions give you the space to explore the issues that are most important to you, and receive the individual attention and advice that will help you accelerate your growth.
Available Live in Arnhem, Netherlands or online via Zoom.
Meditation is the second pillar on which personal transformation stands.
Meditation Classes & Workshops
Personal development can give you success in many areas of your life, but it is really only meditation that can give you a deep sense of peace and contentment; and then moving beyond that into a feeling of connection with the universe.

Have fun making new friends and learning how to make friends.
Making Friends Workshops
The Making Friends workshop has two objectives:
- To help people make new friends at the workshops, and to build a little community of friends based around the workshop at a particular location.
- To teach people how to have better conversations and how to make friends. It is meant to be like a less formal version of Toastmasters, but where Toastmasters helps people become better at public speaking, the SOELmethod Making Friends workshops help people become better at conversational speaking.
Expats Making Friends Workshops
Making friends in a new country isn’t easy, especially if language is a barrier.
This is a fun workshop that will:
- Put you in a room with Expats like yourself, who are keen to make new friends.
- Teach you strategies and skills for making friends out in the real world.
- How to be better at conversation.
- How to be a better listener.
- Help you become more confident.

We can all be much more than just ‘normal’.
My Personal and Spiritual Development Journey
I began my personal and spiritual development journey over 30 years ago, and it has taken me through many different stages. As a result, I teach what I call enlightened personal development, which tends to focus on the deeper aspects of who you are as a person, in order to help you fulfil your true potential. I help you achieve your core goals of self-confidence, peace of mind, happiness etc. not just the surface level goals along the way.
- I was born in Australia, earned a Bachelor of Mathematics majoring in computer science, and I was a staunch atheist until soon after I attended my first personal development workshop in my late twenties.
- The workshop changed my life, and I went full-on into personal development.
- At about the same time, I also became a New Ager for a few years.
- Then I dropped the New Age stuff and became deeply involved in enlightenment spirituality leading to a profound awakening experience.
- Then I got on with life and forgot about spirituality and became an agnostic.
- Finally I returned to spirituality and began teaching enlightened personal development.
