What is The Hero's Journey Coaching Programme?
The Hero's Journey is a Coaching Programme created by Martin Seville, an International Coach, Speaker and Author.
It is based on the premise that everyone has a Life Story and deserves to be the Hero, and indeed Author, of Their Story. It's power is also in using the stories and experiences of others to help you avoid major set backs and fast track you to the success and life you desire.
My view is there are certain paths, which start with stress, overwhelm and feeling out of control, that You not only don't want to travel, you actually don't need to travel. I travelled them for you and brought back the knowledge and wisdom. This saves you considerable time, pain, suffering and long-term consequences in every aspect of life. That has to sound like a good arrangement.
What's the background behind the Programme?
During my 20 years working in the corporate world I witnessed and experienced the difficulty of managing the increasing pressure and overwhelm of work and building a safe and loving environment for my family.
Somewhere along the way you can lose yourself. You are so busy meeting everyone else's demands that there is no time for you. In fact, you don't even know who you are any more. One thing's for sure though, you've convinced yourself you can't possibly stop.
This situation is fuelled by stress, overwhelm, guilt, not feeling good enough, feeling afraid to make mistakes and certainly not wanting to show any weakness. This means you take on more, work longer and harder than ever ... and ultimately feel worse than ever.
I know what happens when you push too hard, for too long and I don't want you to go through that. By taking action Now, you've still got time. Yes, you may be stressed and overwhelmed, but you can put new actions, thinking and beliefs into practice, and these will turn your world around.
That's what inspired The Hero's Journey Programme, and now I use it as the basis to coach and mentor hard working, conscientious people all over the world. It takes you on a journey of self-discovery and enlightenment, it empowers you to effectively manage your day to day, you'll be able to calmly deal with the challenges you'll inevitably face ahead and ultimately you'll rise up as the Hero of Your Story. Does that sound like the the sort of adventure you'd like to be a part of?
Why are there 3 courses?
The Hero's Journey is split into Act Like a Hero, Think Like a Hero and Believe Like a Hero. Each course tackles a different aspect of Empowering you to overcome and deal with stress and overwhelm.
They are deliberately separate, so you can totally focus, practice and embed each aspect. They are also in a deliberate order, albeit, as the Pirates of the Caribbean say, that's more like a guideline than an actual rule!
From my own experience, however, I know that when you are stressed and overwhelmed you have little time and capacity for detailed self-exploration. You need immediate action that is going to make a significant difference to your working day. You cannot think your way out of stress, you must take Action.
Once you embed your Action, it builds your confidence and you will give yourself permission to stop and consider your Thinking. Once you add your new Thinking to your Action you have a new understanding which will propel you forward towards a deeper exploration of your core beliefs, values and self-esteem. It is this final part that enables true enlightenment and change.
Three other important reasons to keep things separate are 1) so not to add to your overwhelm, 2) to keep the time commitment reasonable and 3) to ensure financial investment isn't a barrier.
Can I choose a course?
If ACT Like a Hero looks like it will help you with key areas you need help with, go right ahead and access the online course. Click here.
If you're unsure, or are drawn to the content in another course - for example I have clients specifically looking to improve their confidence - I suggest booking a quick call with me. We can have a friendly chat, check your needs and together agree a way forward. Now, I know booking a call in itself can feel difficult; I promise, however, that it will be ME you speak to, it's confidential, and I will make you feel as comfortable as possible. It is not a "sales calls" - I don't do them. It will be a call about You and the support You need.
Alternatively, you can drop me an email at martin.seville@empathycoaching.co.uk
Who is the Programme for?
This is about getting the Right People in the Right Place at the Right Time.
- You're a Manager in the corporate world (Financial Services not essential, but that's my background)
- You're a Manager in another industry or a Business Owner
and ...
- You're struggling with Workload
- You're struggling with Working Hours
- You feel Stressed
- You feel Overwhelmed
- You feel Exhausted
- You feel Guilty
- You know, deep down, this can't continue
This could be your current experience, or your previous experience and you're committed to not returning to that existence.
Ultimately, whatever your experience, you are determined to start a road to a better quality of life.
How will I know if the Programme is for me?
The above describes how you are likely to be feeling and the type of role and environment you are working in. There are, however, many other factors that have an impact on you, and I'm sure questions and anxieties.
For this reason, you can book a free call with me before you register for any course. This allows us to get to know each other better, as well as discuss any concerns or challenges. From this conversation we can agree whether the programme is right for you now.
Do I have to work in Financial Services?
Not at all.
I have 20 years' experience working in the Financial Services industry. I, therefore, have an excellent understanding of this environment and culture. If you work in this industry, I can, therefore, have the greatest amount of working environment empathy with you. You may find this particularly useful.
My experience in Financial Services, however, also translates to many industries - project work, high pressure, tight deadlines, fast pace, close regulation, structured processes and systems, stakeholder management across different locations and performance management.
Now as an Entrepreneur and Business Owner I also understand the huge responsibility this is, the massive change this is when transferring from the corporate world and the unique stresses you can have.
I am, therefore, in a privileged position to be able to resonate and empathise with a range of 21st century workers; and The Hero's Journey Programme is relevant to all.
For example, I've worked with Managing Directors of Global Corporations, Retail employees, Engineers, Coaches, Musicians and many more.

Do I need to book a call with you to join the programme?
If you're confident to join the Self Serve online version of ACT Like a Hero without a call, that is perfectly fine. Access it right now.
When undertaking a guided 1:1 programme, whether ACT, THINK or BELIEVE Like a Hero, it is important that you are a right fit for this style of programme. There will be 1:1's and work to complete each week, which means you need to have the time and capacity to work through things. This said, if needed, it may be possible to schedule 1:1's every two weeks if this would help. This will depend on availability, so let's have a chat about it.
By having a short call, we can get to know each other better, we can discuss the programme, I can answer any questions and ensure that we are both confident you will get maximum value from the programme. This way we can agree on the most relevant support for you. It is not a sales call, because you are already interested the the programme!
If you are not sure about the programmes, timings or suitability, please do book a call to discuss.
What will I need to do between Chapters or 1:1 sessions?
In each Chapter or 1:1 session we will explore a different topic, for example to-do-lists, sleep or negative self talk. You will learn techniques, activities or strategies to make a positive impact on the key challenges related to each topic. You will be expected to then put your learning into practice and record your experiences.
For 1:1 versions, each Chapter is explored every 1-2 weeks. For Self Study versions you can take the time you need.
One important aspect of your Hero's Journey is that you'll find there are many ways to make a positive difference to your life. I do not insist there is only one way. So, just as I did on my Hero's Journey it is important to find what works for you from the options we explore.
How much time do I need to commit?
There is a deliberate intention to not create more stress and overwhelm for you. Sessions and learning are, therefore, kept reasonable and accessible. As with anything, however, the more you can put in, the better the results, especially as the first course is all about taking ACTION. Below are some of the commitments:
All 1:1's are scheduled for one hour.
Chapters or weekly work may be up to 1 hour of video or learning to review.
There is then the time you decide to invest in putting strategies into place.
A key skill you will practice is giving yourself permission to invest time in you.
If we find on a 1:1 basis you would like some additional time to practice a particular Chapter or exercise, we have the flexibility to do this.
I'm a bit nervous about 1:1 sessions, how will it work?
It is understandable to be nervous; I was too when I started. Knowing you're doing the right thing for Your health and life, though, is a great calmer of the nerves.
The wonderful thing about what we'll work on is that I have had the same challenges as you. It's comforting to know you are not alone and it boosts your confidence that things will improve. You're in good hands, and my clients regularly feedback that I put people at ease, I understand and most importantly, I Care.
I will not force you to talk about or share anything you are uncomfortable with. I ensure we always have a confidential, safe and supportive environment.
Book a call and we can discuss.
Will what I say be Confidential?
Confidentiality is extremely important and I take it very seriously, from the software I use to the space I use for calls.
I create a highly confidential, safe and supportive environment. I will ensure this is the case at all times. If at any time you have any concerns or worries you can directly contact me.
Anything we discuss in a 1:1 will not be shared.
Do you guarantee results?
We all want certainty of results. The reality though is that I cannot guarantee your outcomes, because they are reliant on you taking action on your learning and experiences. I have no control over that.
What I can guarantee though is that these programmes have been created from the proven life lessons and teachings that I have used over a number of years, to move me from stressed, overwhelmed and beyond to Hero of my Story. I guarantee that everything I teach and coach I have used successfully; and I will be with you every step of the way to support, guide and encourage you.
