PRIVATE WORK™

What It Is, How It Works & What To Expect From It ...

Elite  Performance

In working with elite performers around the world, we’ve found that there are certain essential, common elements they share that go beyond the ordinary hype about what it takes to excel. This is true regardless of the particular arena of performance or the location on the planet in which it’s taking place.

Becoming an elite performer boils down to an act of sustained personal transformation – becoming aware of who you are and holding that awareness intact regardless of the circumstance or situation – and it's what we'll do.

This is the intersection of integrity and intentionality – a place that is familiar to every elite performer we’ve ever encountered.

Getting Started 

All Private Work™ begins with scheduling a complimentary consultation ... it's as easy as clicking on the link below, finding a convenient time for your session, and then filling out the application.

Once you’ve submitted the application, your session will automatically be scheduled and we'll review it before we speak to discuss where you are in your life and what you want to get out of Private Work™.

Many clients tell us that the complimentary consultation actually begins the process of experiencing the transformation they desire before we even formally begin.

(SCHEDULE YOUR CONSULTATION)

What Happens Next

During our session we’ll first discuss whether or not Private Work™ with us is for you, or whether there is a better option that we can recommend.

If we agree that Private Work™ is right for you we’ll usually speak for another 15-30 minutes about what you want from it specifically, and by the time we’re done, you’ll have a very clear idea of precisely what to expect and how  Private Work™ with us will work.

We’ll also design an outline that we’ll be working from together that forms the basis for our Private Work™ agreement. Of course, if some reason we decide that it’s not the best course of action for you to be taking, there’s no obligation whatsoever to proceed.

Come prepared to expect the unexpected ...

Private Work™ is unlike anything you've likely ever experienced, or even imagined when you think about coaching, consulting, training, mentoring, or getting expert advice ... in part because it contains elements of all of those, and yet isn't exactly like any of them.

While many coaches and consultants focus on asking you a lot of questions, hoping you'll discover the answers you're seeking for yourself while never revealing a thing about themselves, we'll help you get there by being totally transparent with you and sharing everything we can from our own experience and expertise to shorten the learning curve as much as possible.

We're not looking to sell you our time; we focus on getting you your results as quickly as possible, and then moving on.

On the other hand, the dialogue will likely go deep, well beyond the kind of aimless surface chit-chat or the useless aphorisms and windy suggestions that many associate with a lot of what passes for professional coaching, consulting, mentoring, and advising. 

We've been doing what we call Private Work™ with clients for thirty years. While there are a lot of things that Private Work™ has in common with other available forms of getting help, it is distinct in both approach and intention. Our work is based in cutting-edge neurocognitive science and advanced learning technology, and much of it is proprietary to ABTI, as part of the MythoSelf™ Process model developed by our founder Dr. Joseph Riggio.

We aren't doing counseling, therapy, psychology, or psychiatry ... not even close!

If you want to make a comparison, the best one would probably be to think of your time with us like meeting with your private consigliere ... a trusted advisor who will always keep your interests first and foremost, and has the expertise to scan the bigger picture for threats and opportunities you may not see for yourself; as a result you'll be stronger.

Private Work™ most closely resembles a conversation between people who have known and cared for one another for a long time, without any B.S. interfering, or holding back anything that needs to be pointed out and said.

In fact, your first Private Work™ conversation may be one of the most revealing, intimate, honest, pointed, disturbing, enlightening, empowering, and worthwhile conversations you've ever had, and you'll be blown away by the realization that it was just the first session ...
WE GET PROFOUND RESULTS ... 

  • Pivoting Your Career or Business
  • Creating Exquisite Relationships
  • Designing Creative Breakthroughs


Addressing these kinds of issues is what we do ...

Many of my clients are already highly successful … many of them are executives, entrepreneurs, business owners, and private practice professionals. Some are politicians, entertainers, athletes, and artists; others still have yet to experience this level of success in their lives.

Depending on the needs and desires of our clients: in 1:1 sessions, in small groups, by telephone, via individual or group video coaching over the Internet, or in live 1:1 and group sessions, we'll figure out the best way to get you want you need.

Regardless of where they are coming from, most of our clients come seeking a significant shift in their lives. Our clients come expecting transformational breakthroughs, and we’ve built our practice around delivering the kind of profound results that match their expectations.

Where are you now?

Our clients typically say something like ...

“I have a sense that I’m off course.”

It’s a nagging awareness you have that you're either lost in some way, or simply haven’t yet found the deep sense of alignment and directionality you desire. It could be about a transition you're in ... or something else, like a relationship issue or a decision you want to make. Or maybe it's just a general concern about what you should be doing in and with your life. 

These are just some of the kinds of things we help clients work with to achieve breakthroughs in their lives. When we speak, we'll figure out exactly what's been holding you back, and then design a precision strategy that makes it possible to put it behind you, and open a new, compelling path that pulls you effortlessly forward into creating the results you desire.

Where have you been?

Many of the people we work with have a history of shared, common experiences that long precedes them reaching out for our input. They tell us things like ... 
  • "I had difficulty focusing in school, especially when I was bored or looking forward to doing something else."
  • "Sometimes I felt like an outsider when I was in a large group of people."
  • "It seemed like I naturally knew a lot of things without really formally having to learn them."
  • "I often found myself sticking up for others who were getting bullied for being different in some way."
  • "When something was interesting to me I would get lost in it, sometimes to the point of obsession." 
  • "My way of learning wasn't always typical compared to other people. In fact, I learned a lot of what I know today on my own."
  • "Sometimes I'm impulsive, like when I get an idea to do something I just have to do it right now."
  • "People point out that I'm a natural leader. It's always been that way, since I was a little kid."
  • "I pick up on a lot of things that others seem to miss, patterns are just obvious to me."
  • "I can be intense, I feel driven beyond money and success; it can be about learning something new or gaining a new skill."


If you share three or more of these things in common,  you're a great fit for the kind of coaching and mentoring we do!

Where are you headed?

You recognize that there's something you want, or maybe need to be doing, but you haven't made that happen yet, and you're ready to commit to what it takes to get it. 

Maybe it's time for a major change, like pivoting your business or career in a significant way (lots of our clients are here when we begin together). Perhaps you need to clean something up in an important or intimate relationship so it can improve (we're experts at helping you develop emotional intelligence, mastering difficult communication and relationship building), or maybe you realize it's finally time to take the bull by the horns and fully express your creativity (creativity is a natural gift, and we know just what to do to help you find yours). Don't worry. Whatever it is, even when you don't know what it is yet, we're here to help you experience the breakthrough you need to get it done!

”Hi Joseph … remember my crisis at job? Well, in the “manifest world” all finished fine, almost un-noticed … But, in my inner world, I had a specific profound moment of realization that “yes, I can really quit here and now, and all my future is still here in front of me”… what a magic… and from this position… “everything is the same, and nothing is the same”.

“Meeting Joseph for the first time is a shock… He is a very bright person, highly intelligent, a master of rhetoric with a deep knowledge of his different fields of expertise. And he is not afraid of conflicts and discussions which can be a bit unsettling at first before you realize that his aim is to push you to the next level, to make you improve, to make you a better manager or even a better person. You just need to get past the first shock…”
