I came across the MPN Program at a time of rising life pressures, many of which I deemed out of my control. Living with family mental wellbeing challenges and having itchy feet at work at an age where job changing and/or retraining are not so easy, I felt trapped, unproductive and generally dissatisfied. As I progressed through the program, it became clear to me that this was the perfect starting point to regain life control and to find different perspectives. The program covered a wide variety of topics in a gentle and subtle conversational manner, and provided many practices to continue to develop oneself on an ongoing basis. My MPN coach had amazing communication skills and demonstrated that he is an effective and active listener. He seamlessly weaved the course contents into the life subjects I raised and he engaged in such a giving and passionate way, it gave the course extra potency. Since starting the course, changes started fairly quickly. My two-year blockage preventing me from starting to write a novel melted within the first week or two. General contentment levels have risen and I can tackle mundane jobs without them feeling just a weight and a chore. The best measure of the efficacy of the MPN's program was my wife’s summary saying I had more focus, more energy (passive and active) and more resilience.
