With everything that’s happened over the past few years, it’s more important than ever to be in control of how you create your income and how you live your life.

Are you…

Try not to resist the changes that come your way. Instead, let life live through you. And do not worry that your life is turning upside down. How do you know that the side you are used to is better than the one to come?

"Before you can improve, transform, or make a change in your life,
you have to start with the process to re-imagine."

To Reinvent Your Career, Start by Imagining a New You

Herminia Ibarra, a London Business School Professor, has written a compelling book called:
'Working Identity - Unconventional strategies for reinventing your career'

Key things contributing to this are:

The 4 Stages of The Reinvention Roadmap

1. Search

Where you gather information. Often unintentional, it’s something that will ultimately lead you to an unexpected new role.

2. Struggle

When you’re disconnecting from your previous identity but haven’t figured out the new one.

3. Stop

Pulls you out of your routine, allowing all of your previous ideas and experiences to join together.

4. Solution

Completing the pivot to your new identity.

We tend to focus on just the first and last steps of reinvention, conveniently ignoring the messy struggle in the middle.

Joanne Lipman ~ The Power of Reinvention in Life and Work

We are not nouns, we are verbs. I am not a thing...an actor, a writer, an entrepreneur…I am a person who does things...I write, I act...and I never know what I'm going to do next. I think you can be imprisoned if you think of yourself as a noun.

Stephen Fry

“We want passion. We want purpose. We want self-fulfillment. We want flexibility. We want so much from the work we do, and we're increasingly impatient and wanting to move on if we don't get those things.”

"People tend to confuse habitual behavior with authenticity."

“We grow. We evolve. We're multiple. We have different facets, different aspects of who we are that play out. We need to be able to express that complexity.”

If you're serious about building a sustainable lifestyle, where you can work from anywhere, and be in full control of your life –
it's time to re-imagine your future.

Are you comfortably unhappy in your life?

Do you have doubt about what to do next and how to take full control of your life?

Are you frustrated doing the same things again and again, and expecting a different result?

Do you have no clear plan about how you can confidently create more certainty in uncertain times?

Are you overwhelmed, feeling stuck, and no clear path to the future you desire?

Do you feel stressed, anxious and trapped going round and round on the hamster wheel, not knowing how to free yourself.

IT DOESN’T HAVE TO BE THIS WAY!

Why give up the best part of your time to someone else? Do you think that one day you’ll look back and think, “You know, I really should have handed over more of my life to a large corporation?” There’s a true power shift taking place. Power is taken, not given. There’s never been a better time!

Chris Guillebeau

You need a lifeguide to keep you on course.

In life it's so easy to drift off course. One day, you suddenly look up and you're miles away from shore.
You look back down and find yourself in deep water having drifted way off course. This is where you need a lifeguard to course correct. In reality you have to course correct constantly throughout your life.

You need to start to map a course that is really aligned with your core values, which are not given to you, but are discovered and realized and actualized. And for that you need Dennis, your lifeguard, to keep you on course.

Lydia Campbell ~ Relationship Coach

Are you living
someone else’s story?

Are you done wasting time and ready to choose to live the life that's been calling you?

Follow these 3 steps

Choose the direction you want to go.

Turn your vision into reality and create a business
that gives you freedom.

It’s hard to stay stuck when you have
the next step in front of you.

It's time to live the life you actually want to live!!

When you harness your superpowers, it will enable the radical changes you need.

There are only two mistakes one can make along the road to truth; not going all the way, and not starting.

Buddha

the future's bright BE Yourself take control invest in yourself DO What you want HAVE What you desire

DOES THIS SOUND A LITTLE TOO FAMILIAR?

It's time to get honest with yourself
and ask these questions:

What would life be like if I could overcome my problems?

Have you reached that point in your career where you really need to course correct?

You've checked all the boxes, got the title, got the salary, and then realize it was somebody else's life?

Or your not really happy. Been giving to everyone else. And you don't want to spend the rest of your career doing that and ending up with regrets.

Or you're running around meeting everyone else's needs except your own.

You've probably been sold a version of success
that isn't actually yours.

It's time for change...

Don't do it alone. If you're looking for a way to make concrete changes in your life, I’m here to guide, support and assist you on your journey.

Hi, I'm Dennis, your Guide, Advisor and Accountability Partner

The 3 words that describe Dennis best are:
Inspire – Guide – Empower

With a Post Graduate in Academic Practice in Art, Communication & Design, I’m also a fellow of Advance HE (FHEA).

FHEA is a globally recognized Fellowship award which champions teaching excellence. The award is given to experienced professionals, who have demonstrated their expertise and ability to deliver a practical approach to high quality learning, that’s focused on enhancing the learning experience.

This award endorses my practice, impact and leadership of teaching and learning.

Let me be your guide, so you can embark on your journey of transformation with clarity, confidence and a step-by-step plan.

What is true abundance?
True abundance is the experience in which all our needs are easily met. And our desires spontaneously fulfilled.

Deepak Chopra

I worked in the film & TV industry for over 30 years (I know, I don’t look old enough – right 🙂 ). During that time I worked on a variety of projects around the world (here comes the name drops) – including top brands like Diesel, L’Oréal and Red Bull. As well as for musical artists like Common, The Marley’s (a big concert in Florida featuring the whole family and commemorating the life of Bob Marley), Public Enemy, Red Hot Chilli Peppers and more. (end name drops!!)

I’ve been training the next generations of storytellers and filmmakers at BA/MA level at international film schools for well over a decade, and to fellow professionals from around the world for over 20 years.

As a consultant, I’ve worked on numerous video projects for small and large companies (including the Discovery Channel), helping them develop their video strategy and build their audience. I’ve also held numerous workshops for business owners and professionals who want to communicate authentically and effectively.



I spent 7 years teaching 1000+ solo and small business owners how to build an online presence and sell their products and services – this gave me an insight and real understanding of the struggles they really face, and what solutions can aid them in their journey of building a business that works for their life.

In 2006 I was awarded a DTI government grant for my innovative approach to online video distribution. I created a short film platform for independent filmmakers to sell their films, and build an audience, who watched them on their mobile phones. This was before the smartphone era (before the iPhone existed – yes there was a world before iPhones) and what we take for granted today. This led to me speaking on panels and delivering workshops at many international film festivals
(including The Cannes Film Festival).

This is just a snapshot of what I’ve done over the years, so I know what it’s like to make changes and live through them. The most recent change for me, is having to support ageing parents with health issues. Something I never expected, which now plays a bigger part in my life.

Over the past 5 years, I’ve been training, coaching and guiding business owners how to use the power of business storytelling effectively in their business, to communicate their value and sell more.

I helped them get crystal clear on the problem they solve and who their perfect-fit clients are. This led to them get in front of their ideal clients and customers more often, booking more calls and selling more of their products and services. 

They were able to market and sell their services with more confidence and conviction, as they incorporated the proven, time-tested frameworks and repeatable step-by-step systems I made available to them.

This is just one of the many things you’ll gain access to when you work with me.

The genesis of Define Your Journey was 12 years ago. While I’ve been delivering live workshops and helping people one-to-one for over a decade, I want even more of you to become masters of your own destiny.

So I’ve made the decision to fully embrace serving and supporting you, wherever you are in the world, with the tools, frameworks and experience I’ve developed and used to enable so many others, just like you, to Define their own Journey, and design the life and work that they’re proud of.

As you navigate the changes in your own life, whether they’ve been thrust upon you, or you’re ready to actively make a change through choice – whatever season you’re at in your life and your own development – I’m here to be your guide, advisor and accountability partner – so you don’t have to navigate these changes alone, and can have a clear plan to create your new reality.

Now you're ready for the next stages of our journey together...

The Define Your Journey process involves helping you create the best version of you in the world.

You can’t read the label from inside the bottle, and that’s what my program gives you – the ability to look from outside.

What everyone is saying about Dennis...

Dennis gets to the heart of whatever is actually blocking something from happening really, really quickly.

He has a unique ability to simplify things, and at the same time be razor sharp. And out of that, he elicits the story and the best way of communicating something.

He listens to the said and unsaid. And more importantly, he gets you to honor for yourself what you want to do and the barriers you need to overcome to achieve it.

He then guides you to put a practical plan in place, that has short, medium and long term benefits.

Thanks Dennis, you've really helped me realize and activate my true potential.
Suzanne Alleyne
Founder of Neurology of Power™
I had always struggled finding a way to connect to my audience in a way that truly represented  who I really am. I had taken several courses and workshops trying to find my own voice, but none of those courses moved me into my authenticity. Reason why? I was leaving myself out of the process, trying to be someone else. 

In my experience, it doesn’t work! Authenticity can only come from you.

This is what Define Your Journey and Dennis' coaching will do for you. When you engage with it, you will find your true voice, you will find the truth of who you are and your audience will perceive your authenticity – perceive that your work and offering is coming from the love, the true and beautiful of who you are!

His coaching and process is 5 stars ⭐ for me !!

Working as a video producer for 6 years, I was looking to build a Video Marketing Agency. Dennis really helped me gain clarity and insight on setting measurable goals at the beginning, and helped me to identify the best route possible to bring my idea to life. I learnt so much from his genuine business and entrepreneurship experience.

I'm now far more confident and knowledgeable in overcoming any obstacles that may challenge my business. Dennis has such a contagious, positive and supportive personality that he encourages you to develop confidence in what you're building.

He's an absolute pleasure to work alongside.
Curtis Reece

I found Dennis' multi-session workshop really  effective, interesting and well taught.  Each session I gained new knowledge.

I found his approach put the group at ease whilst expecting (and gaining) results. If Dennis were running another workshop, I would certainly attend and advise others to do so.

There have been so many times over the past few months that I have thought about all of your advice and wisdom.

Finally, thank you for constantly encouraging me to get out of my small American bubble and meet new people. You've really helped me expand my worldview.

This was a very inspiring course. It's a great starting point for filmmakers. Dennis is a great teacher who shares his great deal of knowledge in filmmaking. He also encourages you to take action and shares valuable secrets of working in the industry, which come from his professionalism and experience.

I would certainly recommend this workshop to everyone who wants to develop and grow in their practice. It gives knowledge and tools for further learning and encourages to start taking immediate action instead of dreaming to do so. I would like to thank Dennis for this workshop and the knowledge he shared with us. 
Dovile Kirvelaityte

The course has been excellent. Dennis is a great communicator and conveyed a lot of knowledge over the 4 week period. Anyone wishing to do anything in this space - I would recommend this course! Practical hands on experience balanced with useful tips. You can tell that Dennis has done this before! It makes the learning more credible.
Kathryn Sherratt

I feel so much more confident in who I am and what I do! The knowledge that Dennis has is invaluable as he has been working in this field for many years and he has directed us to the best resources. Dennis is an excellent tutor who has given me the confidence to explore and develop my business.

He is enthusiastic and very knowledgeable.

He has created memories for each lesson learnt, tying analogies and small stories to each point he has made. 

Not only are they funny and make the class more enjoyable, but they are effective. 

Dennis tailored the course content based around what we needed and was relevant to us. 

He was patient with our questions, and all round had one of the most wonderful approaches to teaching I have come across. 

He has gone above and beyond what is required of him. His list of resources and suggestions have already proved invaluable to me and the development of my business.
Lucy  Franks
Event Curator
I like Dennis's approach to teaching and training. He covered a lot but his approach was simple and his analogies to aid our grasp of the workings were very clear. He drummed into us from day one that a lot would be covered but don't worry about taking notes as he would provide many resources including pdfs and interactive frameworks. That just getting stuck in would be better than note taking. 
Michelle Walsh

Thoroughly enjoyed this course, still can't believe it's such spectacularly good value for money. I've learned loads despite having been doing stuff online since 2008 and have picked up loads of useful tips. Dennis was a great tutor, we went through the material at a relaxed pace but not too slow, we recapped as we went along. The course was extremely well organised and flexible enough for any of us to bring up something else we'd wondered about. Top marks 🙂

Dennis has been guiding and supporting me in my business for the last 5 years, and has always played a pivotal role in helping me work out my next move. He's got a way of thinking outside the box, so even where I think there's a cul-de-sac, he will find or forge a new route open.

He's a great sounding board for ideas, and is very good at distilling ideas and quickly getting to the crux of where your ideas can work.

He challenges your own perceptions of what's possible, helps you explore possibilities and overcome any barriers you may have in your own mind.

What's great about Dennis is that he doesn't push his ideas on you. He listens to what you want to achieve, then guides you with different options to explore, that's aligned with your own ideas and vision.

Once he gets your vision and what you're trying to achieve, he's really very encouraging and supportive as you sows your new seeds. He puts a bit more wind in your sails and helps you push your idea along.

The most impressive thing about him, is that he's constantly learning new things and willing to share them with you. He's got a big heart, and openly shares the vast amount of knowledge and experience he's gained over the years.

His superpowers are helping you structure your business in a way that best helps you to continue living the life you want. You definitely feel like he's on your side and will lead you in the right direction.

I thought the workshop was excellent, and Dennis put a lot of enthusiasm and patience into the teaching. I felt, as did my classmates, that he did a great job at making the class interesting and very practical.

I have studied at several universities and done lots of night classes, and have rarely come across someone so dedicated, good at what they do and able to explain complex information in a simple way.

The task of teaching students at very different levels of competency is a difficult one, but I think the pace and depth of the class was attuned to all students’ needs very well. I think Dennis did an excellent job.

He has been able to deliver a learning solution to a very mixed ability class, creating motivation and enthusiasm from all the delegates. I liked that we had ownership for our own learning and research, and the pace was perfect.

The content is fantastic, a great mix of practical, theory and very interactive. Dennis' delivery was excellent, He is very skilled at breaking tasks down into manageable chunks and explaining complex information in a simple to understand way.

Dennis has extensive industry knowledge in digital and online business. I have worked with him a number of times over the years and every time anything pivotal has occurred on my entrepreneur journey it has been under his guidance.

His generosity of spirit means that he over delivers on his promises. I can't recommend him highly enough.
Lydia Campbell
Relationship Coach
Until recently I had been unsuccessful applying for jobs for months. The pandemic had meant very few face to face interactions. Less confidence. More doubt. Then I met Dennis and listened to him on a podcast. 

Simultaneously down to earth and inspirational, he unintentionally talked me into believing in myself again.

It couldn't have come at a better time. As I was preparing for my interviews I was listening to this in the background. But as I took in what was said it quickly became to the fore.

Dennis had a clear narrative that was linked together effortlessly in the process of conveying his point to the interviewer. His charisma shone through. It was the way he spoke, the confidence and conviction he has.

I wished I was like that... Then a thought crossed my mind. During my interviews I put myself in his shoes. I simply emulated him. The contents of what I was saying had not changed. How I expressed it, however, was very much shaped by Dennis's style. 

The result was that I got multiple job offers, and a higher salary than I was expecting.

Bottom line. Do it like Dennis.
Alexander Glover

Dennis provided me with all the tools and confidence I needed.

Dennis has been an amazing teacher, connecting to people of all levels, making things clear and easy to understand. I started this course not being confident in myself but now it has enabled me to grow and take on the task ahead.

Really simple to get excited about transforming my life and growing my business with a person as enthusiastic and encouraging as Dennis. The course itself is very useful and the structure builds on skills learnt week by week.

Being out of education for a while I was a little worried about joining the class but after the first ten minutes I felt at ease and excited about the weeks ahead. I would thoroughly recommend this course to people of all ages and skills.

I really enjoyed how all instructions and information that has been delivered at the workshop has been very clear and easy to understand. the learning environment was comfortable with the teaching of valuable information.

Dennis made sure each and everyone of us understood each information that he was putting across. He was able to give a one to one answer to any questions I had. His teaching method was also beneficial to my learning.

Dennis also helped me speed up the process of me learning new approaches to achieving my goals. This also allowed me to reduce the time period of my short term goals for my business.

One reason its hard to change careers is that we internalize our titles, relying on them to convey our worth and accomplishments to the outside world.

The challenge with those who know you best – friends, family and close colleagues – is that they know what you know.
They can’t think fresh about your choices.

But it doesn't have to be this way.

If you always put a limit on everything you do, physical or anything else, it will spread into your work and into your life. There are no limits. There are only plateaus, and you must not stay there, you must go beyond them.

Bruce Lee

You can be your authentic self (quirks and all) and find your people who want what only you can offer.

There’s power in walking away from
what no longer serves you.

How will you design the rest of your life and career?

The whole point of building an online business is because you get to choose the work you do, and get to design your dream life.

You get so little time in this life we have, and the days disappear quicker and quicker. You blink and another year has gone, just like that.

It’s so easy to forget how long you’ve been on this planet – and our future is not a given.

Therefore it’s imperative that you make the most of your life – and get into alignment with how you want to live and who you desire to be.

Thinking through the lens of possibility
creates the most solutions.

The Odyssey Plan

developed by Stanford Professors

1

What would life look like in 5 years
if you continued with your current trajectory?

2

What would you do if Plan A didn’t happen and how would you pivot?

3

What would you do if
money and time were no object?

It's time to choose yourself and create your own future. Be the master of your own destiny.

Taking risks is scary, but by taking action (rather than just dreaming about it), every step builds confidence and resilience.

So ask yourself: Can you afford not to take that risk? What’s the long-term cost of of not taking the quantum leap!!

The 5 Freedoms

Dan Sullivan, founder of Strategic Coach is the creator of the 4 Freedoms. He talks about the 4 Freedoms we want and strive for in our life. I've included an additional and important Freedom to his list.

What are the 5 Freedoms that can transform your life, and turn your work/life balance into a life/work balance – so you have the time and Freedom to love your life, and be able to do what you want – when you want, on your terms?

Freedom of Time

Freedom of Money (Financial Freedom)

Freedom of Relationships

Freedom of Location

Freedom of Purpose

I want to be responsible for my life, rather than feel like I'm subject to whatever the world throws my way.

Our ultimate freedom is the right and power to decide how anybody or anything outside ourselves will affect us.

Stephen Covey

Live from Freedom and Flow

We want to live from freedom and flow rather than fear.

Having a plan and taking action is how you create that freedom.

Visualization plays an essential role in you reaching your milestones, achieving your intended outcomes and gaining and keeping the freedom you desire in your life.

Are you ready to create a life where you get the freedom to choose what it looks like, and have the power, financial resources, and time to create it?

What I want is to be master of my own destiny. Money gives you that freedom.

Karla Saaranen ~ Shantaram

In order to have the freedom we want in our lives, we need control over our time, priorities, and most importantly,  our results.

By creating an offer that resonates with a specific audience, and knowing your business economics, you have the ultimate control over your business (and, by extension, your life).

What does FREEDOM look like to you?

It's time for you to have the financial freedom, time freedom and creative freedom
you're after, by building the life and business that you design.

Choose your own Metamorphosis

Create a new vision and live it.

Your business isn’t actually designed to give you freedom.
It’s designed to give you $$-CASH-$$
It’s what you do with that cash that determines
how you create wealth and freedom.

Your greatest investment is in yourself...

The hardest part of navigating your life and career is knowing what to do next.

You deserve to be happy, fulfilled and love the work you do.

You deserve to live a full, wholesome and successful life that is aligned to who you truly are at your core.

You deserve to be surrounded by people who really ‘get you’ and support you.

So what’s holding you back?

My people are conjurers. They don’t stop at dreaming, they make something needed where there was nothing. They make magic in the real world.

Ayana Elizabeth Johnson

It’s important to design your business with freedom in mind because:

1. You need to make the money.

2. You need the time to be able to enjoy it.

3. You need to be willing to spend it.

Have the confidence to design your business the way you want, according to your very own preferences (and nobody else’s).

It’s time to start building something that truly supports your ideal lifestyle.

  • Go from surviving to thriving
  • Gain greater clarity and understanding
  • Removing obstacles to your objectives
  • Transform insight into action
  • Create and live the life you want
Malachite
It's time to transform

In your career, you will find
yourself in 3 pathways:

1

Build – how do I find a work arena that builds on my skills, identity and reputation?

2

Pivot – how do I shift to a new area when the old area is no longer suitable or possible?

3

Leverage – how do I curate my work so that it plays to my strengths without devoting all my time to work?

When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be.

Lao Tzu

This all becomes possible when you have the right guide
to support you on your transformational journey.
Let me be your guide, advisor and accountability partner.

Define Your Journey takes an holistic 360º approach to life, and how work and earning an income fits in.

The thing is, if you’re not the architect of your own life – if you don’t embrace full responsibility and take full control of your life – somebody else will.

So it’s imperative that you create a business that takes full advantage of your skills and personality, whilst at the same time aligning these with the skills and requirements the market and your ideal audience are looking for and demanding.

It all starts off with the Define Your Journey’s unique self-evaluation framework, that is focused on YOU, and helps you prepare and align your personal and professional intentions.

Don't ask yourself what the world needs. Ask yourself what makes you come alive, and go do that, because what the world needs is people who have come alive.

Howard Thurman

I designed a framework that take a more self-reflective approach – where it’s about what you want and desire, so you can create and build a business on your terms, that’s designed around the lifestyle you want.

It helps you identify and develop transferable and professional skills relevant to take your life and business to the next level.

By understanding what you really want and what you have to offer, you are better prepared to develop and package your skills and services, related to the services wanted in the marketplace.

The world needs people like you. People gifted with compassion and a desire to make a difference. People who see a problem and create a solution.

Manifest the change you want to see in your own life by taking the first step…

Defining Your Journey in life can be challenging — launching a new service or business can be even harder.

It requires a whole new set of skills and abilities, that you need to incorporate into your personal skill bank.

You need the right guidance, resources and support to enable you to prepare, launch and present your signature offer to the right people.

The Future You...

Paulo Coelho ~ The Alchemist

I have spent my whole life scared, frightened of things that could happen, might happen, might not happen, fifty years I spent like that.

A Portfolio Career

What is a Portfolio Career?

A Portfolio Career is a career or work life that is not reliant on just one single source of income. You focus on generating income from several different income streams and several different sources. This is how you diversify your risk.

Keep expanding your frontier as opposed to settling into a comfort zone that's going to make you much more vulnerable to the "what got you here won't get you there" phenomenon.

The solution...

Choosing a Portfolio Career approach. This makes your career and life change a realistic option for you.

This is how you can part or fully finance a life reboot and career change.

I told my children when they were leaving education that they will be well-advised to look for customers, not bosses.

Charles Handy
Social Philospher

Going portfolio means exchanging full-time employment for independence.

Charles Handy
Social Philospher

Look for customers, not bosses

If you're currently an employee, don't get stuck in that employee mindset. It's time to start diversifying your risk between several different income sources versus just being reliant on one employer, one job, or one single source of income.

A Portfolio Career approach combines several income sources, which also includes doing highly skilled professional work that pays well. So with your professional experience, you already have loads of in-demand skills and experience to offer and get paid well for. This makes it a perfect fit for you.

I'm not talking about the gig economy here.

We're talking about a grown-up portfolio career economy.

You can continue to make money throughout your transition as well as also increasingly making more money from your new career or business.

That's the power of age and professional skills. You already have a ready-made set of skills you can offer.

Your age is to your advantage!

So instead of what you currently do, you take those skillsets that you worked so hard to develop over the many years, to several other places to make them finance your transition as much as possible.

This is where you, as a seasoned professional actually have way more options of financing your career change than those who are much younger than you, who don't have those valuable skills and experience to offer, in return for good pay.

This often includes looking for and landing part-time contracts, longer term contracts or assignments with a variety of clients in your current professional industry.

It's time to take your highly valuable skillsets and go elsewhere to partly of fully finance your transition.

Your professional skills might not be what you want to use in your new career or new business.
Therefore, this is only for a temporary period of time, where you use those skills to build up the new career, the new business, the money source, the new life you desire.

🔥 You're not too old.

🔥 It's not too late.

🔥 You are perfectly positioned right now to diversify your career portfolio and develop multiple streams of income.

Blue Pill... or Red Pill... you choose...

You take the blue pill... the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill... you stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes.

It's time to embrace a new way of living and working

“Freedom from a boss, time constraints, and location constraints.
And freedom to pursue my own wealth (financial, health, personal) and not someone else’s.”

It can be terrifying for humans when a way of life dies. Even if that way of life is a way of death. And yet, we have no choice. We must outgrow our fear of a new world.
