The word ‘energeia’ is commonly translated as ‘being at work’. It’s the basis of the modern word ‘energy’.

Aristotle had his own philosophical interpretation, that of ‘a constant state of being at work’. More importantly, his focus was on the idea that ‘telos’  (the aim or result) – was the work – not separate from it

This might be the source of the common wisdom that ‘the journey is more important than the destination.'

The work is what matters. It is its own reward. Energeia is not potential; it’s a fully realised state in action.

That’s going to be important to remember because it is fundamental to how Energeia coaching works.

We don't promise 'results'. We can't. It's not honest or realistic. That's a sign you might be dealing with a scammer.

We will not ‘10X your business’ or your life. We won’t help you ‘blow up’ on social media and 'make a million in residual income in 12 months'. Your results are YOURS. The mileage you get from our advice and support may vary.

This is not a cop-out on our part. Our methods focus on what we can control, and we cannot control the 'results'. This is explained in more detail in the Core Courage programme.

What we DO promise are the tools, the ideas, the guidance, the truth and the encouragement that our preferred clients need.

Then, there are three different approaches...

Online-only, guided self-coaching

Perfect for people on a budget, or who prefer to work privately and at their own pace.

A hybrid approach of online content and coaching support

Access online coaching content, with either 1-1 or group coaching calls.

1-1 coaching calls in the traditional manner

Zoom calls can be purchased individually or in bundles of five.

Whichever you need, however you need it, we have an approach to suit you.

The core of everything we do

So many people are lost and fearful for the future. They didn’t know who to listen to, who to trust or what to do.  They are surrounded by noise from self-serving people and have never felt genuinely listened to. Everything feels like scam, and they're fed up with it.

They are the subjects of constant discouragement, told that they are not ‘enough’.

  • Not ‘smart’ enough.

  • Not ‘qualified’ enough.

  • Not ‘experienced’ enough.

  • Not young or old enough.

  • Not ‘connected’ enough.

  • Not ‘respected’ enough.

Over time, this stole their courage, their voices, their vision and, ultimately, their comfort about the future.

They didn’t feel viable.

They were burdened with the weight of their previous career advice or mistakes. They felt nailed to the spot in their career, on what they realise is the deck of a burning, sinking ship.

When it came to who they were, they felt no choice but to 'mask' and 'fit in'. They were afraid of being themselves, despite all the encouragement to be 'authentic'. They'd seen what happened when they were.

When it came to their current jobs, they weren’t treated like viable contributors to the business mission. Their work felt empty and meaningless. They felt like impostors, just waiting to be exposed.

When it came to new jobs, they didn’t feel like viable applicants.  Many were behind the curve on the latest ‘desirable’ certifications or skills, and they’d lost their taste for that particular song and dance.

Many wanted to work for themselves, but didn’t feel they were viable for that, either. They didn’t know what they needed to do, or how to do it. They did not know how to package and sell their wisdom on their own terms.

Not feeling that they were viable in the future was a source of constant concern.

The Energeia Viability model™ presents a clear process for how to develop future viability in all three areas - as a person, as an employee and as a business owner.
