Professional Mentorship

Where does your joy meet the needs of the world?

Rites of Passage Programs with Robert Birch both support and challenge you to thrive in your calling.

Whether at the kitchen table, in the board room or within your community, you choose to feel alive in who you are, what you think and do. Filled with a clear vision and purpose you seek the courage and reassurance that the creative risks you take are worth your time and energy.

Robert's gifts as a professional mentor guide you to become your own authority.

To succeed:

* Define your personal and professional edges, 'run to the roar' -not from it

* Cultivate a practice deeply rooted in who you are rather than what is expected of you

* Know who and what you serve

* For lasting power, feel nourished by what you value and what you offer

The Gift of Mentorship

Traditionally, when someone is recognized as having a gift they receive the mentor they need.

As a youth prodigy, Robert embarked on his first award-winning company at age fifteen. He credits much of his success to having been mentored for close to three decades by exceptional men and women. As a result, he knows the value and strategy of high quality guidance born of a deep commitment to service.

Robert began his career as a trainer and theatre director, teaching in Universities and other professional settings by age 17. Now, a world-class facilitator, educator, private counsellor and professional mentor, Robert brings over 25 years of expertise to help you successfully step into new roles and move through new thresholds with authenticity, integrity and wise-leadership.

From strength-based models learn to:

* Make resistance and conflict part of your game plan for success

* Define your own (and other's) creative working method and style

* Integrate personal dreams, professional goals w/organizational or community aspirations

* Nourish yourself and others as you face the necessary and life-defining challenges ahead

Crisis + Adaptability = Resiliency

Our world pivots on the axiom, ‘Change or be changed’. As the global culture evolves rapidly, some say recklessly, resiliency is the key to success.

A rite of passage is a carefully crafted series of events for individuals and organizations like you, soulful adventurers ready to more passionately answer your vocatio, your life's calling. Whatever resists you, you are ready and willing to cultivate a practice of resiliency, a practice forged in the fires of awareness. You are committed to your success and to serving the success of your partners.

Times of change are hard. They require high levels of support and self care.

Challenging times, whether born of excitement or crisis, confront deeper need for change and growth.

We naturally resist change. Just prior to a new life chapter, circumstances can be painful to navigate.

With loving support this can also be a healing time, even a creative period of renewal and regeneration.

Before authentic change can occur however, you may first need to connect more fully to who you are, what you feel and what you authentically need and desire before expanding into your next life story more effectively.

Counselling supports individuals and couples to navigate these changes with care, reassurance and awareness. As you step more fully into the life you desire receive the support you deserve.

Learning to ask for help is often the first step…

How it works...

You will initially meet Robert for twenty minutes by phone or in person, free of charge, to determine if this counselling relationship is a good fit for you. In order to get the most out of your counselling experience you are encouraged to commit to eight to ten sessions. (Shorter term counselling is available upon request).

During our time together you will receive and gently practice the skills and tools needed to make the changes you require. With your self-discovering insights you will find the motivation you need to succeed.

Each session is on a sliding scale of $85-120 + HST.

Robert Birch, M.A. is a nurturing, deeply empathic counselor, a respected social educator, and a gifted group facilitator. He has over twenty five years of professional experience in helping people live more satisfying, soulful lives.
