Helping you live in mid-life without a crisis

CALLING ALL MEN
I am looking for men who would be open to being interviewed by me. This is on going research regarding mens’ Disquiet. This interview can be done by phone and usually takes less than an hour. Your name will not be used in the study but I will use the following demographics: age, race, and profession or industry.
In my work with clients over the years, I have noticed a unique Disquiet among men that doesn’t get expressed in the same way from women. We make jokes about a mid-life crisis, but there is something uniquely male about this unease that is out there in very large numbers.
In fact I am pretty busy with it! So busy, I am creating a new service – a coaching program that focuses on this Disquiet for men. This Disquiet is hitting men in different ways – some at the top of their game and they have it all, yet they feel dead inside. Others are force-fitting themselves in what society thinks success looks like and as a result, they check themselves at the door to their office each morning and are walking around like zombies. It shows up in other ways as well and affects their relationships and roles as husbands, fathers, and friends.
The interviews are fun!� Everyone I have spoken with so far has found them very enjoyable and thanked me for the chance to explore this issue.� Many reported a sense of relief and of being helped just by the chance to open up about it.
It’s also a great way top learn more about this for yourself!
If you are interested in being interviewed, please click here to contact me and I will get back to you to schedule an interview at your convenience.

[...] My study continues. I interview on average 4-5 men a month. When I hit 100 interviews, I will pause and write a formal study that will also lead to a book. If you would like to be interviewed, I would love to hear your story. I am collecting basic demographic information for the study, but can easily keep your identity confidential if you like. Some men prefer to stay confidential, others are enjoying the exploration the interview affords, and are sharing it in their world. They have given me permission to identify them. So from time to time I will feature their story here. [...]
