Half-day workshop

November 23: Dubai, UAE

December 1: Douglas Isle of Mann
CONCEPT
In the modern world a lot of us men have lost our connections,
our sense of belonging. More and more research into psychology
shows that one of our deepest needs for survival is connections;
true, meaningful connections. Anyman has been created to give
men back this connection, a return to the days of brotherhoods
when men worked and shared together.

Anyman provides the safe space where you, the man, can relearn
how to share your feelings and emotions and most importantly
become comfortable within yourself, in a supportive, non-judge-
mental brotherhood.

We don’t want to ‘fix’ you or listen to long boring anecdotes we just

want to make you stronger in the world, in all your relationships
and give back to you a sense of belonging, of being a man.
EMOTIONAL MESSAGE
WHAT ARE THE MESSAGES THAT ARE
GOING TO RESONATE WITH THE
TARGET MARKET?
Have you lost your connections, your sense of belonging?
Do you want to develop connects; true, meaningful connections?
Living in this complex and rapidly changing world we are constantly
bombarded by external noise, negative messages and pressures to
be something that perhaps we are not.

It is easy for us to get swamped by unrealistic social media

expectations, relationship challenges, financial pressures and
impractical career demands; often resulting in a loss of our
direction and purpose; a loss of our identity.

Living in Dubai can be a shallow, sole less and disconnected experience.

This is your chance to take 1 step closer to feeling connected with yourself
and perhaps find your tribe, away from the bars and shopping malls.

ANYMAN FACILITATORS
For marketing purposes
MICHAEL LEONARD:
I have lived in Dubai for 12 years and for a
long time struggled with my own identity,
really working out who I am and why I exist. I
really struggled to find my tribe. I experi-
enced a lot of anger in my emotions and at
times found myself behaving like a person
that I know I am not. This has not been some-
thing I have been proud of and has left me at
times feeling embarrassed and down.
I have been single, married, a step father,
divorced, in a long term relationship and am
now married again.
I have failed, picked myself up, and have learnt and grown as a man
and am now in a really cool place. I know who I am, my purpose, my
place, my legacy and my value to the world.
Now I spend my time helping men be the best version of themselves
that they can be! I am blah blah.
I am a certified coach, NLP practitioner, trained in transformational
hypnotherapy, a member of the International Coaches Federation and
am completing a Masters in Executive Coaching at Hult International
Business School in London.
KARL BOVENIZER:
I bring a deep understanding and knowl-
edge of people and their feelings. I have
been on a journey of struggle, pain and
learning. I have worked with highly emotional
staff and clients, often at some of the worst
moments of their lives and I have learnt to
manage and deal with staff in high pressure
and emotional times.
I spent most of my working life cleaning up
the mess my business partner made and
dealing with distraught staff. However, as a
man, I felt at the time I just had to ‘man up’
and get on with it. I didn’t talk about it. I bottled it up. As a result I ended
up in hospital with a mini stroke! It was only then, I spoke to a good
friend who encouraged me to talk about it. After this personal experi-
ence, I believe in two things: listening and language are the key to un-
derstanding and everyone knows themselves best, they just need
someone to provide the key to unlock themselves.
As a coach, I have worked hard to build my skills in these areas, and I
now help men by listening, properly listening to them and then chal-
lenging them to look at what they said whilst reflecting on how it makes
them feel and function.
