On Tuesday I announced this project to galvanise and grow the very special area and successful community of village of Irene, using my immensely powerful ‘Fully Booked’ process. Look forward be sharing the journey with you in the coming months: Dear Irene Community near and far I have been living here since mid-2022 and yet I have been at home here my whole life. My paternal grandparents moved to Queen Street in 1948, bought an acre up the road five years later, and built the family home where my father and my two uncles then grew up. My grandfather, Richard Wheeler, was an engineer on the railways and took the train to work from Irene Station, while my father, Frank, took it in the other direction to Pretoria Boys High and then later on to work in town. He had been a local Boy Scout, like many others, and I still have his camping axe and wide-brimmed felt hat. My parents married and moved to London in 1967 and brought me back with them in 1969, which is when I first took root in the house and the area. That was also the year that my grandmother, Mrs FM Wheeler, retired from twenty years of teaching at the primary school having influenced many. I went on to grow up in Joburg but carried a lifelong history in Irene, and longer. My ancestors are from here. * post continues in the comments… #newbook #fullybooked #transformation #holisticsuccess #nextlevel #authenticmarketing #makinghistory #villageofirene #beingyourselfforaliving #robinwheeler #handbooksforthenewhumanity

Coaching is built into everything these days. For me it is about getting people and companies to thrive from their essence, and that’s what my chapter is about in the new book ‘The World of Coaching: An African Experience’, compiled and published in February 2024 by the Nigerian Charter Chapter of the International Coaching Federation. Here are the opening paragraphs from my contribution. Read more about and buy the book in print and Kindle formats on Amazon, and book me to speak at your event or do a transformative Fully Booked project in your organisation. Facilitating the Fulfilment of Soul Robin Wheeler Africa has a global edge, a contributing advantage in the international community, and a universal role to play in the emerging world. The edge, advantage and role are summarised simply as ‘soul’. In this, Africa has what everyone needs, now more than ever and pressingly at this pivotal point in history. Soul is the spirit of transformation and quantum progress, which is the core of the human experience and the future of industry. Africa is charged with bringing it to bear and showing the rest of the world the way. Fortunately, Africa has soul for Africa, and much more, and the world is catching on and catching up, or simply stopping denying it, spurred by the overall acceleration of change. With the increasing revelation of the corruption behind the curtain and with the crumbling of the old comes the emergence of the awakened and shining new. Africa may have suffered severe exploitation and endured perceived deficiencies in the past, but that is because of its wealth, and the future has now arrived with the picture increasingly clear. Soul and its permutations are the way, and there is no faking it, stealing it, bribing it, or hiding it, plus, and most important, you can’t do without it. In it, Africa has the essential global commodity. Coaching on and from this continent is rooted in that. #coaching #coachinginafrica #theworldofcoaching #newbook #ICFNigeria #fullybooked #beingyourselfforaliving #robinwheeler @ICFNigeria

eNCA, or eNews Channel Africa, South Africa’s most watched news channel, interviewed me last week for their show The Bookshelf, which is the longest author feature in the country at 24 minutes. I chose my ancestral home as our location because it features so significantly in ‘LOVE is the Key to Finding Your Voice’. The host, Sindy Mabe, whom I last saw in 2010 when she presented eTV’s breakfast show called Sunrise, arrived looking resplendent despite the heatwave, and the crew cooly pulled off the intense job at hand like we were not filming in a dry sauna. Presenting to the press means preparing yourself and then delivering your message while staying open to spontaneity in a vortex of energy. It amounts to presence under pressure and can bring big shifts. The Bookshelf is scheduled for 17 March and I will post the recording when that goes up soon afterwards. Sindy says, “You’ll love the AWESOME episode airing this Sunday at 14:30!” #interview #enca #newbook #loveisthekeytofindingyourvoice #robinwheeler #speaker #consultant #inspiration #transformation #makingmovies #beingyourselfforaliving #handbooksforthenewhumanity

Start local and go global… The first newspaper feature of ‘LOVE is the Key to Finding Your Voice’ appears in the Centurion Rekord today, talking about my ancestral home, my new book, and then a community book that I am about to announce. Journalist Shaun Sproule was a fine listener who left me with some beautiful insights and then this piece of history. I’m grateful to him. The world is a big village and you reach it the same way you do your immediate one.

While you know about my new book ‘LOVE is the Key to Finding Your Voice’, I have contributed a chapter to another book, which was launched on 8 February 2024. It’s called ‘The World of Coaching: An African Experience’, and it’s compiled and published by the Nigerian Charter Chapter of the International Coaching Federation. It’s written by a powerhouse of 21 contributors from a spread of countries and it looks at coaching from an array of angles, all united by the uniqueness of an African perspective. My chapter is called ‘Facilitating the Fulfilment of Soul’ and it integrates my twenty five years of coaching experience in many areas with the golden thread of ‘being yourself for a living’ where that all began, in Africa. Read the details and reviews, and buy in print and Kindle formats on Amazon.

With the release of each of the four INSIGHTS books from FURTHER in 2009 to SEXIER in 2014, I commissioned new business cards to match the respective covers, which made for great branding and special bookmarks. Then, for some reason, I didn’t do business cards for a decade. While working on my new book the designers asked about an accompanying card and I found myself excited by the prospect and engaged in the careful wording. Like a new website, a business card depicts strategy, clarity and a shift onto the next level. What arrived two weeks ago certainly represents that. It stays with you and voices what I can do for you through ‘transformational journeys to joy’, summarising a profound place of holistic wellbeing and prosperity.

My new book ‘LOVE is the Key to Finding Your Voice’ is now available in print from all the Amazon platforms around the world. Two years in the making, it’s a handbook on how to live your myth, telling the intimate tale of selling my house, restoring my ancestral home, and being based in Thailand, all for your deep resonance and expansive inspiration. It’s a story of coming full circle on the ‘being yourself for a living’ path I took twenty eight years ago, and it goes back to when I was a child walking my grandparents’ land and feeling my future. I look forward to sharing a whole lot more of it with you in the months to come… South African stock will be in stores and at events and signings from February onwards. Invite me to share the universal story on your radio show, podcast or stage and I’ll bring my new voice to speak to your soul. Many thanks for your support and enjoy the ride!

My new book called ‘LOVE is the Key to Finding Your Voice’ will be out on 25 January 2024. The title is also the topic of a new talk for schools and a keynote for companies. I tell a simple and transformative story of shifting gear, connecting with your truth, clearing out the old, creating the new, and coming full circle, which is what so many of us are working to do. The talk brings direction, meaning, alignment, vitality, awareness, creativity, enterprise, service, leadership, branding, inspiration and sustained excitement. Book me for your career evening or conference and let’s start the new year strong.

One reason I stopped in Bangkok, last year and this, was to visit my friend, acclaimed artist, scholar and entrepreneur, Arianna Caroli, who lives nomadically out of the big city and spreads her mastery with a sustained vibrancy immune to age and social categorisation. Look at the timeless themes in her abundant work on her website at www.ariannacaroli.com, some of which is on permanent display in MOCA, the Museum of Contemporary Art Bangkok. Her larger-than-life paintings also adorn luxury hotels around Southeast Asia, and select pieces have been converted into clothing and accessories. “Make art, wear art, be art,” she will tell you with Umbrian accent while whirling Sufi-like wearing her own creations in front of more of her creations. She took us to lunch at the sublime Italian Osteria in Central World (https://io-osteria.com), and gifted us an apron, which I said I would wear this summer with just flip flops and braai tongs. That reminded her of a story… Arianna is being herself for a living, big time! Follow her on instagram and you’ll be beautifully richer for it. And mix with artistic people! #art #verve #vitality #inspiration #creativity #vision #influence #leadership #magic #transformation #joy #beingyourselfforaliving #robinwheeler #handbooksforthenewhumanity

After Penang, Bangkok was a pleasure, as Thailand usually is after you’ve been anywhere else. Far from faultless, though, the big city was a delight, and different from when I was in town nine months before. This stay was more familiar than fantastic, and, like Phuket, distinctly homely, considering that I will never be Siamese. No farang ever is, although, spiritually, we all are. It’s a compelling paradox. Siam is what Thailand used to be called and that soul still teems from the streets and churns in the muddy old river, while people pump and swarm the urban arteries fuelled by global ambition and the latest revolutions in retail. In the mix are the cosmopolitans, the non-Thais, drawn repeatedly to exotic adventure, self-discovery, and the edge that you can find in only one place. That is Bangkok. Last time it was wine in sky-bars, tipsiness in taxis, and multiple tuk-tuk jaunts through Chinatown to Khaosan Road. This time it was slithers in skytrains, 7Eleven toasted sandwiches for breakfast, and hotel-roof panoramas for late afternoon lunch. It was more of a breathing-out than a breathing-in, as it had gone from a prefix to Phuket last year to this year’s closer en route to South Africa following three months on the island. You can never set foot in the same city twice. Both ways, it was the the big Bangkok!

Yesterday I finished writing a new book, which is the 28th title in the INSIGHTS series. I began it in early November 2022 in South Africa, added greatly to it in Thailand in the first half of 2023, and compiled it in Johannesburg, just short of ten months after I started, to find that it is done. It brought a remarkable feeling of a near-complete body of life’s work in a comprehensive set of handbooks for the new humanity. The job now is to get them into everyone’s hands. The trilogy I told you about earlier this year, namely, BRIGHTER, PURER, and MANLIER, is in production, and will come with an accessible overview of the whole series. The world is ready and so are the INSIGHTS books. It’s wild! Thank you, always, for your support. #books #insightsseries #beingyourselfforaliving #robinwheeler #handbooksforthenewhumanity

On the way out of Phuket, I spent three nights in Penang, a nearby island in Malaysia, which came recommended but left me disappointed. I liked the traditional buildings interspersed between the growing high-rises, I loved the temples, mosques and street retailers in Little India, and the bay was beautiful, but that’s about it. The flights were not cheap, the locals were not hospitable, the food was not great, the experience was not fun, and the departure was not unwelcome. I probably wouldn’t go back, even for a quick visa-run, but I did come away with some insights and photographs. Maybe I needed someone to usher me into it, as is often the case with new places. After it all, I was happy to get back to Thailand and, specifically, Bangkok, which is one of the great cities in the world. More about that soon. For now, scenes from Penang: #travel #travelling #experience #writerslife #beingyourselfforaliving #robinwheeler #handbooksforthenewhumanity

Phuket isn’t everything. There are certain spots it doesn’t hit, and those add up as you stay on. At some point, something turns and signals time to move. It can be the sea, the season or something inside you. The longing for the island will accumulate once more. As magical as it is, the scene can get boring when the rest of your life is beckoning, and that can bring you down, which is why I have been working on having bases in a few of my favourite places. South Africa is certainly one. Interests need feeding and aspects of the self must find form. I write wildly when in Phuket but struggle to get other work done. This three-month stay put so much into perspective and set me straight for the next era, which is well underway. Here are some images looking back: #islandlife #writerslife #travel #freedom #creativity #inspiration #change #thailand #phuket #beingyourselfforaliving #robinwheeler #handbooksforthenewhumanity

Here’s my reply to all the comments on my post from 12 July: Thank you all again for your supportive and generous replies, my friends, here and in your private messages. I have read them a few times and allowed a considered reply to come together in appreciation. One theme was how I spoke for many and the experience behind the happy faces we all carry around. There is certainly a universality to what we go through internally while we navigate the story surrounding us. Good to be open about it. So glad to speak for you too. Another theme was the bravery to say and post what I did. That was part of facing the feelings in the first place, though, while the writing and sharing seemed obvious when the time came. It’s going into the cave that takes courage because coming out has its own authority and energy. The idea of writing a book about it was welcome, and I may well do that. In fact, I have a not-so-little surprise up my sleeve from last year when I did something similar, so keep an eye out for an announcement. In terms of diagnostics, I am aware of the autism-related nature of my account, and it was helpful to consider it more carefully. The ‘symptoms’ are also classic OCD, which certainly describes me, without the ‘disorder’ part, although some may disagree. Then there are doses of PTS and narcissism, plus a classic case of being an artist and a writer. And there’s more. Welcome to the club! I’m not one for the DSM5 with the alienating attitude behind it, because our callings, wounds and teachings combine into our purpose. It’s about being heard and feeling understood. Underneath it all is love. That’s what I have always been driven and sustained by, through great trials, like many who have lived for truth and art. It’s sad how society treats that, with tragic stories of greatness strewn throughout history, like the recent example of Sinéad O’Connor. Yet it is the artists who face and express life for the redemption of all. Here’s to being real, seen, happy and loved. #beingyourselfforaliving #robinwheeler #handbooksforthenewhumanity
