WHy
MEN?
It’s a strange world out there for men.
Organisations are positively shifting towards inclusivity and diversity, which is music to ours ears, and within this, the confines of male patriarchy are being disrupted, squashed, and simply not tolerated. Amen to that.
But within this welcomed cultural shift, successful and hard working men are feeling lost and - at times - unfairly tarnished as a result of their gender.
At the Midlife Man we’ve made it our business to ensure, that as part of the inclusivity agenda, the wellbeing of your male talent is considered as well.
40%
of men in the workplace feel unable to open up about the feelings they are having
We focus in on men in their 40s and 50s based on hard facts. Again and again statistics around suicide, mens health, stress and burnout, point to the fact that at this midlife point, things start to go wrong.
Coaching is a catalyst for professional development. Where individuals can identify their developmental goals, devise strategies to achieve them, and confront any internal barriers that are getting in their way.
But it’s also about personal, and mental, development. It offers men a place where they can openly discuss their inner world — expressing worries, mental struggles, and the pressures they face - and find a way through and forward.
What is the upside for your business? A happier workplace, employees who know you care about their wellbeing, who feel valued, and energised. Employees who will turn up for work every day ready to reinvest that energy into the business you’ve worked so hard to build.

COACHING
Our aim is to work hand in glove with your organisation’s internal wellbeing provision, offering 1:1 coaching for the men in your workforce navigating the complexities of midlife.
We have found working in blocks of either 3, 6 or 12 sessions of 60-90 minutes means you can choose a plan that fits your budget.
Workshops
First, we collate feedback – what do your male employees want to work on? Learn about? What’s the stuff that makes them feel vulnerable at work? And in their role? Then we create.
Confidence, how to be a man in the workplace, resilience, burnout, stress, becoming a parent - we curate tailor-made workshops on whatever the business, and your employees need.
These confidential group sessions intend to educate and to give attendees tools, resources and physiological templates to benefit them professionally and personally. Typically tricky topics are normalized, made comfortable and stories are shared. And more often than not, we have fun.
Events
Our Men(tal) Health round table events are a bold new concept we’ve been piloting since the launch of The Midlife Man, and we believe we’ve broken new ground in the Midlife Wellbeing arena.
No matter our age, we all look to role models, to figures in our society who we aspire to be like, to emulate. Our Men(tal) Health events seek to invite such figures into the workplace, to talk not only of their success but also their failures, the challenges they have faced in their 40s and 50s and the personal barriers they have been forced to overcome to finally arrive where they are today.
These events are an innovative way to open up a discussion, break taboos around male mental health and encourage your male staff members to normalise what was once unspoken, to understand they are not alone.
