Testimonial
Detective Sergent Dave Austin
Approximately one year ago I reached out to G. I have known and admired him for years. When set against his backstory, His personality, achievements and accomplishments make him all the more impressive. Anyone who can go from being homeless, living under a bridge in a third world country to achieving the heights he has is truly worthy of respect.
It was that emotional intelligence that caused me to approach him. When I did I was experiencing a real rollercoaster of emotions, with turmoil occurring in both my personal and professional life.
His experiences meant he was uniquely placed to provide genuine and unique insight and guidance, without judgement or prejudice.
His simple yet highly effective approach was pivotal in enabling me to face, then smash through emotional constraints. Navigating that terrain was tough.
But as he kept reminding me, “we can’t climb smooth mountains”
The truth is, dormant demons do not like being awakened, much less confronted. But they have to be conquered. Some days were, and still are harder than others.
On good days Ive felt immortal. Like I could solve Brexit. On other days I’ve found myself teetering on the abyss staring into an empty void.
Sometimes when things weren’t going well I’ve found myself scraping the bottom of the barrel. When I couldn’t scrape anymore I had to dig. Ive had to venture penetrate my subconscious and venture deep into my soul.
Whilst the work is by no means finished, the results have been truly transformative. My mindset has completely changed. The energy around me has noticeably changed.
G’s infectiously positive, approachable and non judgemental approach to life coupled with his unique sense of humour are qualities that are difficult to find in this day and age.
I can categorically say that working with G is an an investment that will, without a shadow of a doubt, pay dividends in the long run. Applying his principles and approach has enabled me to operate two ranks above my pay grade, as well as causing me to reassess my approach to my private life.
G will challenge U. It won’t be easy. Whilst Its true, we can’t we can’t climb smooth mountains”, G will provide U with the tools U need to succeed. U just have to put open your mind.
