Testimonials

info

"Working with Speed has been so transformative. His meticulous attention to structure -- from starting precisely on time to honoring sharing commitments -- combined with his genuine, deep care for each participant, creates both psychological safety and loving accountability. While his online training is masterful, he's even better in-person, where his natural gifts as a facilitator truly shine. I highly recommend his work for any man ready to do deep, personal-growth work."

Jude C., Attorney, San Diego, CA, USA

"Speed’s grounded depth, powerful yet trustable presence, and his intuitive insights are just a few of the traits that make any of his in-person events truly impactful. His ability to hold the room safely and meticulously while guiding the practitioners to have powerful experiences throughout are reasons why I continue coming back. With his guidance my 25-year marriage is stronger than ever, and I am forever grateful."
