"The Alive! Coaching Workshop helped me jumpstart my life at a time when I needed it the most. I learned incredibly useful life visioning strategies to carve out an idea of what I wanted to do with my life, as well as time management strategies to physically go through the motions of accomplishing the tasks necessary to reach my goals."

"I also loved being able to meet other hunter-types and feel like I had some sense of community with people who were facing similar challenges to my own. I wouldn’t be where I am today without this workshop and Michael’s help. I strongly recommend the workshop to anyone who wants to learn the strategies necessary to take control of life and start setting and achieving goals to move forward."

~ Matt K.

"Michael's unique coaching provided vital guidance at a time when my other resources were failing. With his help I was able to clarify my needs and thoughts in order to create effective goals and take the daily steps to achieve them. He provides compassion, knowledge, and support, but more importantly helps people to realize what it is that they need, and to receive it all with open arms."

"Since as far back as I can remember, I've been bombarded with many ideas, created many plans, but haven't always been able to follow them through to completion. The skills I learned in this workshop, without a doubt, were a huge part of solving my life's puzzle. I wish I had found this workshop (and the podcast) earlier in life, but I'm extremely grateful I found it when I did!"

"I learned about the Alive Workshop from listening to the Drummer and the Great Mountain podcasts and reading the book, both of which I really recommend. I got so much from the course."

"I struggled a bit at first with the on-line format (I’m much better at ‘in person’ courses), but I very quickly got the hang of it and found the content, organisation of the material, the delivery, questions and feedback to be really balanced, accessible and effective. Michael is really responsive to the needs of the particular group he’s working with and very quickly creates a sense of support and camaraderie. I can honestly say that after 4 weeks, my my knowledge and commitment have greatly increased and I’m already seeing positive shifts and changes."

"I wasn’t able to attend all the sessions, but Michael makes recordings of the sessions available shortly afterwards, so it’s very easy to go back and listen so you don’t miss out. There’s also a Facebook group where you can communicate between sessions which really kept the momentum going."

"It doesn’t matter where you are in the world (I live in London and we had people from other parts of the world in our group). It really did end up feeling like we were all in the same place. Big, big thumbs up. Money and time very well spent!"

"I learned about the Alive Workshop from listening to the Drummer and the Great Mountain podcasts and reading the book, both of which I really recommend. I got so much from the course."

After using the tools I learned in the workshop, as well as the podcast and the book, I feel more at peace than I have in a long time. The information on life visioning, time management, wellness planning and creating a support system have already made a huge difference in my life in just four short weeks! Tying my goals/vision to my daily planning, exercise, mindfulness, better nutrition, and drinking more water have really been a game changer for me. It's still a little early to know if these will be long term changes, but I believe they will be...

That live interaction, even though it was virtual, was so important. People could ask questions on the spot and get feedback. There was something different, deeper about attending the workshop to reinforce what I had previously read or heard. The FB group gave me a place I could go to for support and accountability at anytime. I will highly recommend it all: the book, podcast, and the Alive Workshop to anyone who struggles- and/or thrives- as a hunter!

A few months ago I was diagnosed with severe combined-type ADHD with extremely high H. I knew nothing about the disorder, but it explained 54 years of life. I was in agony and wondering whether I wanted to live another day, given what I read.

I lucked into the Drummer podcast the next day (some of my superpowers being research and analysis) and it was obvious to me that, as I’ve always joked, I AM A CAVEMAN. And I love it. I was anxious and depressed leading up to my diagnosis and worse after reading the low-lying-fruit stuff which is mainstream ADHD coaching mantra. At 54, for the first time, I truly feel free to be me and embrace who I am.

The Drummer approach is my kind of approach. No easy ways out, just ways to notice your machinery and work with it better. 3 months post-diagnosis I often find myself struggling, but with tools at the ready and a self-confidence I’m not accustomed to feeling. Every day of my life will be challenging-but I’m up for challenges. However, I don’t have to be fixed at all; I’m a community-generating, caring, loving hunter. Who would want to be anything else?

Thank you for being the one who showed a middle-aged underachiever who was “super-bright but didn’t apply himself” to understand that I am exactly where I belong to get to where I want to be, which is a place with some inner-peace.

Michael you found your calling when you started doing this - mind blowing how perfect you are to provide real and totally applicable tools to help us Hunter-types. I could not have asked for a better more useful experience.

Michael Joseph Ferguson, what you have done to not only adapt your own life to your brain chemistry but provide a blueprint for us all is remarkable...

My biggest boost from your workshop was from the first session, visioning. Specifically, I’m thinking about the big picture and keeping the fire of inspiration alive...

On Wednesday an investor is coming to hear my vision for growing my business. I’ve been preparing for three months, but the workshop put me into a completely different mindset.

~ Andrew G.


I enjoy every minute of our workshops. And great to read about everyones' wins and challenges and hear your voices...

I am so glad to have meet people like me, its incredible not to feel alone on this journey anymore. Michael you're the most wonderful "hunters tribal chief" - you give me wings!
