About me
I do truth. With you.
Coach, CEO, father, warrior of truth. Ruthless, provocative, sincere, devoted. And human, so totally fallible.
The story
I had everything. I felt nothing.
A long time ago I climbed up to be a sales director in an international company. The money, the apartment with the pool, the convertible, the beaches. Everything was at my feet, except one thing: I couldn't feel a thing.
I was living out a reputation I'd built on lies. Facing my truth meant destroying that image, bit by bit. Cutting out every action, behaviour and move that wasn't me. I had to transform from the man I thought I had to be into the man I actually am.
Now I know: nothing beats the truth. Except my heart.
Today
Coach. CEO. Father.
I'm CEO of Temple Village, a land-based community being built in Bali, leading investors, a team and a vision bigger than one man. Alongside it I coach founders, leaders, couples and men one to one, lead Rites of Passage, which I founded, and the Temple of Radiance.
And I'm the father of two teenagers.

The best education
A PhD in truth
I used to believe I couldn't coach anyone without the official qualifications, so I went and got them. But the real education came from life itself, and it's still teaching me. It can be very messy. Underneath every untruth is the already complete version of us.
I don't do therapy. I don't do coaching. I don't do spirituality. I do truth.Steve Shiva
