Who Are We?
My Self Mastery (MSM) is a unique coaching, consulting and training group offering bespoke solutions that drive business effectiveness and unlock human potential. We collaborate to find solutions that directly drive performance maximisation.
Why is ‘Mastery of Self’ important?
Self-mastery is often defined as self-control: the ability to exert a strong will against our impulses to steer our future to one of our choosing. However, this is only one aspect of the term.
Self-mastery requires having a vision for your future self and harnessing the will to realize that vision.
