James Garside is a personal development coach and workshop facilitator who helps people build an unshakeable foundation of purpose and direction for their lives by reconnecting to their core values and what they stand for. He came to this work on the other side of his own long-term existential crisis - feelings of disillusionment at the contribution his career in advertising was making to society, and the lingering shame and self-criticism that told him he wasn’t ‘enough’. 

After a painful breakup, losing his job and a subsequent breakdown, his deep pain drove him to explore every technique, workshop and healing modality he could get his hands on, in an attempt to overcome his own demons. Along the way, he realised that what he was truly seeking was more meaning and purpose in life - and that these could only be found by looking within. He now helps to guide people who have come to the same realisation - that there’s more to this existence than just material success, but aren’t yet sure how to move into alignment with the desires of their soul.
