THE CONSULTATION
WITHOUT CLARITY
EVEN THE RIGHT WORK TAKES US THE WRONG WAY
There comes a point in every man’s life when the old map stops working.
We’ve spent years looking outward. Building. Achieving. Providing. Becoming competent in the world.
Then something changes.
What we want changes.
What got us here won’t get us there.
Jung called it individuation. James Hollis, the dark wood.
The first half of life requires our energy to build competence.
The second requires us to use it to build character. To finally become the man we know we can be.
The only way through is in.
That requires a different map.
The Consultation creates that map.
A private four-stage process to understand the man you are, the man you had to become, the man you could be — and what’s standing between them.
01 — THE MAN YOU ARE
Where are you now?
We start with the truth.
The man you are. The life you’re actually living. What’s working. What isn’t. What you’ve built. What you’ve neglected.
Not the story. Not the intention.
The truth about where you are and who you are.
02 — THE MAN YOU HAD TO BECOME
How did you get here?
None of us arrives here by accident.
We look at what shaped the man you became.
What served you. What protected you. What it cost you. What you’re still carrying.
Not to blame the past.
Not to find fault or make excuses.
To accept responsibility.
03 — THE MAN YOU COULD BE
Where are you going?
The man you know you could be. The life you actually want to live.
What matters. What doesn’t.
Not who you should be.
Who you could become.
04 — THE WORK
Closing the gap.
Now we know where we are, how we got here and where we want to go.
What’s in the way?
The final stage is built entirely from what we’ve found in the first three.
We establish what’s standing between the man you are and the man you could be.
And what to do about it.
THE PROCESS
The Consultation is conducted across four stages over approximately one month.
Each stage consists of:
Questionnaire — 30–45 minutes
Completed independently before the session.
Review and analysis
Responses are reviewed in advance and used to prepare the session.
Private session — 45–60 minutes
Conducted online with Laurence.
Post-session review
Findings are recorded and carried forward into the next stage.
Stages One to Three follow this sequence.
Stage Four is built from the findings of the preceding stages. A bespoke questionnaire is prepared, the responses analysed, and a personal report produced before the final session.
The findings are then brought together in The Blueprint and The Manual.
THE BLUEPRINT
The map.
The Blueprint sets out:
what needs attention
the beliefs and patterns involved
the work to be done
what order to do it in
What matters now. What can wait. What doesn’t need fixing.
A map of the work ahead — and where your time, energy and resources should go next.
THE MANUAL
The companion.
A bespoke book, written and produced for you in an edition of one.
Eight chambers. Each exploring a different part of the journey ahead.
The Blueprint gives you the map.
The Manual travels with you.
The patterns to watch. The things to remember. The places you’re likely to lose your way.
Professionally designed, printed and bound.
Something to return to as the work continues.
A quiet hand on the shoulder.
WHAT COMES NEXT
When the Consultation is finished, you’ll have the clarity to decide what comes next.
There is no prescribed next step.
Continue with Laurence. Work with someone else. Or do the work yourself.
