What it is
The Life Navigation programme is coaching (process-based) and mentoring (experience-based) guidance for those who sense that something fundamental wants to change - in how they relate to themselves, to the world and to the unique specifics of their life. It is a human system upgrade.
It is not goal-oriented in the conventional sense. You will have issues or aims, and our work will address them - but not by fixing them. We will 'walk' together in the territory they inhabit, and they will be the surface-level access to the excavation work we do.
You will improve by getting out of your own way and being in better contact with your full self and the current reality of which you're a part - less distorted by the filters and rules of your old operating model.
Sessions are 60 minutes, held every 2-3 weeks by video call.
Where most people start
The full programme is a considered commitment. The Guided Taste is the natural entry level - three short videos, guided by Doug, that give you a genuine taste of the work rather than a talk about it. You work with your own material, at your own pace, in private. No scheduling, no live session to fit around a busy life. Paper and pen is all you need.
€19 for the video guide, or €37 with feedback - bring your reflections directly to Doug for a personal response. Start with the video guide and you can add feedback later for €20.

Twice a year, live
The Guided Taste is yours to work through alone. The Workshop is the same journey worked live, with Doug facilitating and time set aside to do the exercises rather than hear about them. Three and a half hours, several stations of the journey, and a room where your camera stays off and nobody sees who else is there.
Saturday 14 November 2026, 13:30-17:00 Irish time. €147 for this founding cohort - €187 thereafter.
Not sure yet? Life Navigation: A Live Taste runs free on Friday 9 October - ninety minutes live, and a fair way to find out whether this work is for you.
Anatomy of the Soul
Self-Leadership
Taking responsibility for your 'system' and its components: thoughts, feelings, and patterns. Updates to this system are the only ground from which genuine change arises.
Updating the Map
Your internal model of how the world works was built in childhood. When that map no longer matches the 'territory' of your adult life, disorientation is natural. We work with the mismatches to make updates.
Working with Cerberus
The somatic guardian of your old operating system: the racing heart, the clenching gut. It has kept you from Frankl's Gap. You'll learn to cohabitate and work with it.
The Old Story
The protective narrative you've been living inside, often without knowing it. Who you are. How the world works. What is possible. What is normal. Updating the story requires seeing it first.
Frankl's Gap
The sliver of freedom between stimulus and response. Finding it - and learning to live in it - is the core of the work. This is where Sovereignty lives.
Welcoming Outcasts
The parts of yourself deemed unacceptable by the Old Story and subsequently exiled. The work of becoming whole is largely the work of welcoming them to rejoin you in Frankl's Gap.
