If you’ve landed here, it’s likely you’re searching for something...

Whether its clarity, purpose, happiness or understanding that is holding you back, let me help you find that way forward.

My name is Stuart White. Through running retreats, coaching conversations, and writing, I aim to create moments that spark growth—not just for others, but for myself as well—making life richer, more fulfilling, and deeply meaningful.

My story

I wear a few hats in life—dad, entrepreneur, writer, coach, and eternal optimist. I’m a proud father of four, with two big, grown-up kids who keep me grounded and twins under 9 who keep me on my toes (and just a little sleep-deprived).

I've spent most of my career in the HR and talent management world, helping people unlock their potential and find their purpose. These days, I split my time between the charming city of Montpellier, in the south of France, and the vibrant continent of Africa. My work focuses on inspiring individuals to lead more joyful, meaningful lives. I’m also a columnist, sharing insights on mental health, resilience, and how we can all strive to live more purposefully doing a little better, one step at a time.

My experience

My passion

I hold a Master’s degree in Positive Psychology and Coaching Psychology, which might sound lofty, but at its heart, it’s about understanding what makes life worth living. I’m deeply passionate about mental health, well-being, and helping others find clarity.

As I often say, “The world is not what you think it is; the world is JUST what you think it is.” It’s a reminder that our perceptions shape our reality. When we view life through fear, greed, or ego, even the most beautiful truths can be distorted. As the saying goes, “If a pickpocket sees a saint, all he notices are his pockets.”

My raison d'être

I work to help people shift their perspectives—to see the world with clarity, free from unnecessary pain and suffering. My retreats and coaching are dedicated to this purpose, providing the space and tools to foster real, meaningful transformation.

What I do

I help people discover and embrace their purpose—an evolving, ever-changing journey that brings meaning and fulfillment to life. Through learning from defining moments, reflecting on growth, and making conscious choices, I believe we can create lives that feel true and deeply satisfying, while leaving a positive mark on the world.
