"Before you can improve, transform, or make a change in your life,
you have to start with the process to re-imagine."
It's time ⏰ to take the Quantum Leap
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!
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.

and ask these questions:
- How long have I been stuck for?
- How much have my problems cost me?

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.
- Are you ready to make the decision to change your future – by taking action now?
- Remember, your present actions determine your future outcomes!
Let me be your guide, so you can embark on your journey of transformation with clarity, confidence and a step-by-step plan.
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.
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.
Define Your Journey from your current situation to the future life you intend for yourself, so you get out of worry and uncertainty and into clarity.
It’s time to see and manifest a future where you have the time and financial freedom you desire.
Decide what you’re going to offer to your perfect person, harnessing your skills in a way that you enjoy and have supreme confidence.
Create a step-by-step roadmap to attracting your ideal client, who desperately wants what you have to offer.

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 this program gives you – the ability to look from outside.
What everyone is saying about Dennis...
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.
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 !!
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.
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.
I took your advice and bettered my presentation and communication skills. I've become a much better, more efficient worker and also a better person.
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.
The material was presented in an easy to understand linear fashion. all the key elements were covered with scope for added work in one's own time.
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.
He is enthusiastic and very knowledgeable.
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.
It's also helped me realize you're creating solutions for people as opposed to just helping them.
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.
& Social Enterprise Business Owner
It is often difficult to absorb everything in one go, and I think it will be a very valuable bank of resources that I will come back to time and time again as I continue to work in the future.
I would just like to say that I was extremely impressed by the way Dennis managed to impart so much useful and actionable information, so clearly. Excellent!
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.
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 is an encouraging and enthusiastic guide, and I have the confidence to build my own business now.
Responses from an anonymous survey
• A good way of practically plotting out where I'm at now and where I want to be.
• It helped me re-think about what I need to do to develop my ideal business.
• Deep thinking.
• Opened my eyes to what I need to do in order to progress towards my goals.
• Making sure I brand myself properly.
• Reminder that I must make sure I do personal creative work.
• I need to be clearer on how I present my skills.
His generosity of spirit means that he over delivers on his promises. I can't recommend him highly enough.
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.
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.
Dennis is a great teacher.
No more procrastination. Yeah! Thank you for every second of it.
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.

Who am I…
The big why…

Embarrassing myself in public
Don’t doubt yourself
Finding your story
It’s time to stop following the crowd and forge your own path with support, accountability and guidance.
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.
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!!
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?
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
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?
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.
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.

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 frameworks, that’s focused on YOU, and helps you prepare and align your personal and professional intentions.
I designed a framework and process that takes 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.

The Future You...
You have knowledge, skills and experience that is highly valued (by the right people).
If you’re in your 40’s, 50’s or 60’s – then realize that your age is not a barrier but an asset. You can leverage your current skills and years of experience to create a lucrative service based business.
By enhancing your current skills in the right way, with a clear focus and intention, you have the knowledge and experience to be able to start and thrive in any industry you choose.

Take control of your own life and income and build a life that you truly want.

You have to decide if you’re willing to make the change in your own life.
Think of where you could be 6 months from now…

Don’t waste another year…
It’s time to quit dreaming and start doing.
It’s time to create a life and business that gives you freedom.
A decision is a commitment. It’s also intentional.
When you’re intentional about deciding exactly what you want, more often than not, you achieve it or make significant progress.
Stopping doing things is part and parcel of creating space for a new vision to emerge.
You want to feel like you’re doing work that’s aligned to the very core of who you are…
