Personal Mentoring

Accelerated self-development

Why would someone appreciate personal mentoring? There are a lot of possible reasons why people seek a mentoring relationship. Here are a few:

If you’re struggling through a difficult period in life, and appreciate the support of someone trained in gentle yet effective guidance and transcendent processes.
If you’re fumbling a bit in your personal or spiritual growth journey, and recognize the value in an outside, unbiased, and expert perspective.
For guidance and support in releasing old non-productive habits, and adopting new practices to increase your productivity and effectiveness.
If you’re struggling in a relationship, and want to learn new skills to create more authentic conversation, greater intimacy, and deeper love.
If you desire greater clarity about your life’s purpose.

All of us have learned to navigate life pretty well up to this point. And all of us could benefit from a friendly, helping hand from time to time.

Here’s the experience of one person who sought my guidance:

I reached out for help when I was going through a transformative stage of my life that was difficult for people around me to understand. Bob has the wisdom and insight to see the possibilities and value of times of struggle earned from the best teacher in life: experience. He is able to see beyond social narratives and helped me to consciously choose how I want my life to be based upon my values.

The first mentoring session is on me – no cost. That’ll allow us to get to know one another, and give you a sense of how I can support you. Simply reach out to me using this site’s Contact page. I’ll be in touch to find a mutually agreeable time.

Who am I, to suggest that you might benefit from my mentoring?

My name is Bobby Wuest. I’m a permanent American expat living in the Philippines. I’m 71 years old, in great health, and livjng the best life I can imagine.

Someone asked me recently what one word would I choose to describe myself?

After thinking about it for a few seconds, I responded “Sage“.

What’s the meaning I associate with that word?

I like dictionary.com’s definition, which is replicated here.

I have accumulated a wide foundation of life wisdom from many varied life experiences and, out of fascination and curiosity for the human condition, have studied philosophies, psychology, and wisdom traditions to inform my way of being in the world.

A sage, in my definition, possesses life wisdom that they’re excited to share humbly in the hopes that others may benefit from it. This normally doesn’t take the form of advice – which is frequently useless. But rather, in one of two ways:

By asking intuitive questions that invite you to dig deep to excavate your own inner wisdom. When you do so, it’s far more effective than advice.

By telling stories related to the topic at hand – from my own life, or those that I’ve picked up along the way. If you’re familiar with biblical parables and the deep meaning they are intended to convey, that’s the kind of stories I’m referring to.

For 20+ years I’ve been involved in groups of men and women who bring a devotion to greater self-awareness, self-discovery, and transcendance of their psychic hurdles. This, to achieve greater productivity and forward progress in their lives. I’m trained in emotional process facilitation – guiding others to deeper self-discovery using feelings as a gateway. My participation in these groups was always about greater self-discovery for myself; and when called upon to facilitate, I did so with loving devotion to both support and psychic safety. The latter is hugely important when others are willing to expose their deepest, darkest aspects of self in a space of complete confidentiality.

I’ve been a student of multiple spiritual development and healing modalities. I’ve organized and led groups that come together for transformative breathwork, free movement, sacred intimacy, integrity/accountability support, and a variety of other purposes.

I created Life as an Art Form as a vehicle for sharing wisdom and support for people who are bent on personal development. To embrace life at its fullest requires equal parts of healthy habits and practices, and the ability to transcend life’s difficult periods. I write frequently about these – here, and on other sites like Quora and Medium.

Personal mentoring is an ideal, personalalized method for when you’re going through a rough patch and would benefit from some support – or if you’d like to kick your self-development journey into a higher gear. As mentioned earlier, the first session is on me. It provides us the opportunity to interact personally, and for you to determine if I am a resource who might help you.

Simply complete the Contact form indicating your desire for your free session. I’ll be in touch shortly to discover a time and date that’s mutually convenient.
