Executive Coaching Testimonial
"Paul has been absolutely life changing for me...words that I do not write lightly by any stretch of the imagination.
Paul's guidance, with both honest and insightful feedback, has enabled me to rebalance my goals, bring energy back into both my professional and personal life (which let's face it, were pretty depleted post covid) and be firmly back in control of living the life that I want to live. And all of this has been self-led which is both incredibly empowering and even more importantly, sustainable. And in case you were wondering...Paul keeps it real!"
Philippa Wood, Vice President, Volvo
Life coaching
How is This Coaching Different?
So, whether it's dealing with a mundane job or a life that's no longer fulfilling, we find ourselves stuck in these negative thinking loops that are doing our mental wellbeing and potential for happiness a massive disservice.
This is because we're conditioned by our previous peak emotional experiences, which results in unhelpful automated default responses and behaviours that lead to self-sabotaging behaviour.
This coaching program provides the structured framework, tools and accountability measures to help you transcend your self-sabotaging behaviours, once and for all.
Most people have heard of Abraham Maslow's 'Hierarchy of Needs' that ends with 'Self-Actualisation' which involves achieving your potential, and helping others to do the same. Most people however are not aware of Maslow's "Secret Pinnacle" found in his notes after his passing, and that is "Self-Transcendence".
Self-Transcendence involves the ability to transcend ego and years of unhelpful conditioning to achieve a higher state of consciousness and connection to a purpose that lies beyond your own personal desires.
After years of research we have developed an evidence-based process to help our clients achieve this, leading to new thinking patterns and healthier habits that empower total alignment with your values, responsibilities and purpose.
This is a confidential, no-obligation call to
learn more about the program, and an opportunity to ask questions, so you determine if it's a good fit for you.
Our Lead Coach –
Before co-founding The Open Mind Institute (TOMI) in 2016, Paul was a litigation lawyer who practiced in London, Melbourne & Brisbane.
From the outside looking in Paul had it all, he was in a prominent profession, earning a healthy income and should have been happy, but the harsh reality was that he was experiencing burnout, chronic stress, anxiety and prolonged insomnia.
Paul reached a tipping point when one of his clients took their own life which forced Paul to re-evaluate his own. He unplugged from "the profession" and used his research skills to learn about the strongest evidence-based processes to achieve self-transformation.
He applied these to his own life and achieved a profound transformation, completely eradicating burnout, stress, anxiety and insomnia, and after helping many others to do the same, he gave up the law and stepped into his purpose; founding TOMI in 2016 to share this information with the world.
Paul's articles have now been published in Proctor and Wellness Daily and he frequently appears on panels, podcasts, ABC Radio & across other media platforms on how to cultivate a growth mindset and achieve self-transformation.
Recently voted one the top coaches in Brisbane by Influence Digest, Paul Pitsaras LL.B B.Int.Bus. is our lead
mindset & performance coach and TOMI's managing director.
