The Monumental Network
For Leaders Who Are In The Thick Of Life
“Genuinely life changing. Being able to openly discuss key matters in my personal and professional life in a confidential and non judgemental forum, is a wonderful release and the wisdom learnt from others is a game changer. Absolutely brilliant"
– AJ
The Monumental Network
From the outside, it looks like you’ve made it.
But inside?
You’re stretched thin.
Juggling everything.
Struggling quietly.
You’re not broken, you’re just in the middle of it.
The thick of fatherhood, leadership, responsibility....and the quiet ache for more.
You don’t need fixing.
You need a circle of likeminded men who get it.
Welcome to The Monumental Network.
“I was literally called a "closed book" and my marriage was close to over. Being a part of The Monumental Network has been a huge part of turning that story around with significant consequences in my professional life too, in a very positive way.”
– Tom

"From the outside, I had it all - career success, a great family, financial stability. But inside, I felt isolated, knowing I was leaning too much on my wife and family which caused yet more friction in my life. Monumental gave me a space where I could finally be honest, be challenged, and be supported. It has changed my life, my relationships, and how I show up in the world"

“I was all function and process and convenience. I was different from one group to another and I was acting, performing and lying. That all changed when I found Monumental to speak my truth and be comfortable sitting in it”
– Rob
"Just a handful of sessions in, and the transformation is palpable. Through both sharing and absorbing, I've experienced a profound shift in perspective on everything that matters - family dynamics, my engagement in professional settings, and, most importantly, my own worth to the world.

"Hitting my "mid-life" with a busy job and a young family, I put far too much weight on my shoulders and I was stressed! I wasn’t enjoying life, I was surviving and starting weeks more tired than I finished the last. The Monumental Network has been that perfect space, to reflect on things I wouldn’t have thought about, providing accountability and a safe environment to share thoughts. I’m 5 months in and I’m in completely different headspace. It’s been brilliant and I am hugely grateful for the experience"
– Mark

– Tim
“Speaking openly and freely amongst men in The Monumental Network has been a fundamental game changer.

“Hugely liberating and empowering in a repressed society”
– Alexander
“I always felt, that I was relatively well balanced, and that some of the issues I struggled with were just part of the ebbs and flows of life. Through sharing and listening, I have been able to challenge myself, those thoughts and some of my deep-rooted beliefs, which has had a profound impact at work, at home and with my family. I did not know how much I needed this.”
