DEVELOPMENTAL MASTERY

What changes when you stop fighting our ideas of other people?
In this month's Developmental Mastery Monthly Membership we dive into the terrain of relating through unity — not as a concept about "we're all one," but as a practical exploration of what's actually happening when relationships feel hard.
You know that feeling when you're lying awake at 2am, replaying a conversation for the fifth time?
Running through what you should have said, what they really meant, building the case for why you're right?
Or when you're around certain people and you become a version of yourself you don't even like — smaller, more defensive, weirdly unable to say what you actually mean?
Here's the thing:
Most of your relationship suffering isn't happening between you and them.
It's happening between you and your idea of them.
That person you're arguing with in your head?
That's your model of them.
This month, we look at what's actually going on in those moments — and what shifts when you catch the difference between relating to someone and relating to your construction of them.
Benefits:
The Mental Replay Stops: When you catch that you're arguing with your idea of them — not them — something relaxes. The loop loses its fuel. You don't have to resolve the imaginary conversation because you see it for what it is.
You Stop Taking the Bait: That comment that usually hooks you? You start to notice the moment before you bite. The reaction rising, the meaning forming. And in that noticing, there's a choice that wasn't there before.
You Stop Needing Them to Change First: When you see that your suffering is mostly with your construction of them, you stop waiting for them to be different before you can feel better. You have access to something they can't give you or take away.
Disagreements Stop Ruining the Whole Day: A conflict can just be a conflict — not evidence about who they are, who you are, or what this relationship means. The secondary meaning is where the real damage happens. Without it, things can just be what they are.
You Stay Yourself Around Them: That contraction that happens around certain people — where you become smaller, more careful, not-quite-you? It starts to loosen. Not because they changed, but because you're not bracing against your idea of what they're going to do.
Real Connection Becomes Possible: When you're not managing your image, defending your position, or protecting against what they might mean — something else can happen. Presence without agenda. Meeting without armor. What intimacy actually is.
This Month's Journey
You'll engage in 12 hours of live work: masterclasses, experiential practice, and real-time application to your actual relationships.
We'll work with specific relationships you're navigating right now — not theory about relationships in general. The parent who triggers you. The partner you're disconnected from. The friend you've been avoiding. The colleague you dread.
Join us to discover what opens when you stop fighting your idea of someone and actually meet what's here. This isn't about being nicer, more patient, or "doing relationships better." It's about seeing what's actually happening — which changes everything without you having to effort your way to change.

Read about the results of Anand's personal and professional coaching
Anand’s coaching is a profoundly transformational experience of being nurtured through a one-of-a-kind combination of energetic sensibility, intuitive insightfulness and intellectual creativity. With his deep understanding of NLP added to the mix, and an effortless way of holding the space safely, this results in a flowing magic of genuine clarity and perspective shifting which cannot be easily delineated, but it is palpable and its results are quick and undeniable.
Ph.D. Associate Professor of Physics University Columbus
Anand is highly trained, deeply intuitive and has expertly and gently guided me towards a deeper understanding of myself. The insights I come out with are always meaningful and impactful to my family system, my business and most importantly myself. When I feel stuck, he’s the first person that comes to mind because I always walk away feeling amazing and with very specific ‘how to’s’ so I can get myself to the next level. If you get the chance to work with him, do it. You’ll never regret your decision

My role requires a great deal of conflict resolution – an area of personal development that warranted improvement. Anand provided the tools I needed to understand how others may perceive my behaviour and pushed me to review my interactions with my peers, leaders and direct staff; making substantive changes in how I engage – providing the clear feedback and guidance my staff wanted from me. I would highly recommend Anand as an Executive Coach – I have extensively changed my leadership approach. These indispensable lessons will serve me well as I continue to climb the leadership ladder.
