Your
What’s
Wildest
Dream?
You might already know your answer, or maybe you don’t.
Perhaps you are working hard, but your life lacks meaning, purpose, direction.
Maybe you already know who you are and where you want to go, but you are struggling to keep up.
You know that your approach is unsustainable but you do not know a better way.
You are exactly where you need to be.
Here, with us, Jack and Pat, at Wildest Dream.
Hi, we’re Patrick and Jack
We work with people exactly like you, from London to Prague to Bangkok.We are building a platform, movement and worldwide coaching community which we are calling Wildest Dream.
It is a journey with three chapters centred around:
Know Thy Self: Values, Strengths, Passions
Know Thy Path: Fulfilment, Vision, Wildest Dream
Know Thy Steps: Mindset, Energy, Habits.
If one thing captures the essence of what we do, it is the opening lines of the 700 year old Dante’s Inferno:
When I had journeyed half of our life’s way,
I found myself in a shadowed forest,
For I had lost the path that does not stray.

Life will always challenge us. We cannot control that. But with these four things we can.

Wildest Dream is the new business that Jack and I have started, but it is also more than that. Wildest Dream is a mindset, a way of life.
Each individual, leader, and team that we work with is unique, and that uniqueness is something which we celebrate. But, when I sit to think about these great people, and about Jack and myself, I ask:
“What are those common threads that enjoin us?” And here’s what comes to mind.

Discipline, does not shackle, it frees. Frees us from our ingrained drive for status, approval, comfort and excess. The biological mechanisms which helped our ancestors survive in the harsh Savannahs, but which have become maladaptive in the overabundant society in which we live today.

That’s the thing about life, you have to try things in the full knowledge that it could be a terrible idea. A Brit moved to Sri Lanka to try the digital nomad life and ended up starting my new favourite Black Honey Café. So, try something, at the very least you’ll get a cool t-shirt, at best you might open a new café.

Conformity is good, but it has never led to the creation of the Apple Macintosh or the lightbulb. The two Steve’s sat in their parents’ garages making computers and Thomas Edison spent 1000s of hours failing to eventually create a working lightbulb. The world doesn’t change when people remain the same. The world changes when a critical mass of humanity slips out of alignment of the norms of society.

We can see that being a dreamer of the day is indeed a remarkably beneficial thing to do. So the question is, how do we encourage this dreamlike state, this cocktail of chemicals, even whilst we are awake?

Wherever We Go, There We Are
It’s Monday. You drag yourself out of bed, sleepwalk through showering, brushing your teeth and getting ready for work. You’re now on the tube, surrounded by solemn faces rocking back and forth in the rattling carriage. You sit and think of the problems ahead of you this week: the tough client conversation you need to have, the looming project deadlines and the ever-growing life admin to-do list.
I Followed My Heart From The Portobello Road To Wildest Dream
“Could we…” Anna starts before Cathy shouts, “there is nothing you can do here!” Cathy goes on and on. Anna and I nodding in complete agreement at the berating we are receiving on behalf of our masters. It was a face I was very adept at making, smiling and nodding whilst I got shouted at. ‘Yes, you are right, we are assholes.’
How A Failed Exam And A Tea-Stained Document Reignited My Passion For Writing
As I write this entry, reflecting on my journey through business school, consulting and corporate, I know something must change. I don’t have the language or the plans but at 35,000 feet, some light has crept into my spirit – something Plato wrote about 2,400 years ago.
What Is Your Wildest Dream?
Creating a Wildest Dream doesn’t mean fanciful living in the future. It means stopping to reflect, to think, ‘where do I want to go,’ because only then can we know and be truly conscious that the steps we take today, and tomorrow are in that direction.
