So many men have an interest in the world of men's work and the personal development journey, but stay on the fringes and prefer to listen or read rather than invest their time and hard-earned money in showing up at a circle, yet alone a retreat.
While this is understandable, I thought I'd share one man's inspiring journey who took the leap and jumped in. In the space of 18 months, Chris Barth went from having no association to men's work or masculinity, to now hosting his own men's circle and empowering other men!
Over the 32 minutes of this short-but-powerful interview, he tells his story of trying to pick up the pieces from a broken relationship, discovering men's work through my circle, coaching and the retreat we held last September, working with Nice Guy Syndrome...to then being inspired enough to create his own men's group with his friend Rik.
The main reason I wanted to share his story is because in many ways it is similar to my own, and so many other men out there, and I hope this resonates with anyone listening who's on the fence about trying out this kind of work. Also, with my next men's retreat in Denmark just a couple of weeks away, it gives anyone feeling inspired by what Chris says about it to grab one of the last spots and dive in....
Chris's humility, honesty and candour about his struggles, reservations and learnings are one of the many reasons I believe his own circle will grow and have a real impact on the men who show up in Karlsruhe, Germany. To find out more about his and Rik's offering, see the links below.
Finally, a huge thank you to Chris for jumping onto his first podcast and being so open about himself, which I've no doubt will land with and serve the men it's meant to.
