Every week, my clients teach me something.
Not from a distance,
Not through theory,
By sitting with real men
In real moments
Watching truth break through.
I guide men, yes.
I also learn from them.
And this week,
Five lessons reminded me in a way
Lessons about
1️⃣ Openness,
2️⃣ Presence,
3️⃣ Silence,
4️⃣ Stillness,
5️⃣ Embodiment
Lessons that every man needs to hear,
Especially the high achievers
It can BE lonely at the top
When you’re disconnected
Here is what I learnt.
Lesson One:
Openness creates the field.
I watched men hesitate before opening.
You could feel the internal battle,
The fear of being
“too much”,
“looking weak.”
And every time a man opened
Even a little, the entire space shifted.
His body softened.
The tension dropped.
Clarity arrived.
Openness isn’t a risk.
It is leadership!
It creates the field others rise into.
Lesson Two:
Emotional absence hurts more than physical absence.
Several men this week were physically present
And emotionally gone.
Not by intention,
From overwhelm,
Long-term stress,
Fear of conflict.
People around them felt it.
Presence isn’t measured in hours,
It’s felt in availability.
A man returning emotionally.
Can change the energy of a relationship.
Lesson Three:
Silence is the slowest form of self-sabotage.
Men are not falling apart because they feel too much,
They’re falling apart because they say too little.
Silence looks like strength on the outside
It becomes
loneliness,
resentment,
distance on the inside.
Your relationships don’t need perfection.
They need clean communication.
Your silence is costing you more than your mistakes ever will.
Lesson Four:
Slowing down is where the truth finally speaks.
Most high-achieving men believe the answer is in speed.
Push harder.
Fix it quickly.
Get it done.
And this week, the breakthroughs came in the pause.
When a man stopped long enough to feel,
To breathe,
To reconnect,
The real insight arrived.
Stillness is not a luxury.
It is the doorway to the truth you’ve been avoiding.
Lesson Five:
The body tells the truth the mind avoids.
Every time I guided a man back into his body,
His jaw,
Chest,
Breath
His entire state changed.
Intensity dropped.
Perspective widened.
The overwhelm softened.
A man becomes grounded the moment.
He returns to his body.
“Your body is not the enemy.
It is your compass.
Closing Reflection
These lessons didn’t come from a textbook.
They came from witnessingmen in their rawest,
Real honest moments.
Men who are doing the work.
Men who are tired.
Men who want to be better
Better husbands,
Better fathers,
Better lovers,
Better leaders.
What I learnt this week is simple,
Men are not broken.
They are disconnected!
And the moment they reconnect to….
❤️ Their body,
❤️ Their truth,
❤️ Their voice,
❤️ Their entire life begins to shift.
If these lessons land for you, you’re in the right place.
I know I AM
