Men's Integration Journey

If you would like support to travel towards your personal integration, let's talk. Using the exercises in the books, "No More Mr Nice Guy" by Robert Glover and "The Hero's Journey" by Michael Pariser, I'm offering you a place in a group of men dedicated to getting the love, sex and life you really want.

What does being an integrated man mean to you?

An integrated man is able to accept and embrace the things that make him unique - his power, assertiveness, passion as well as his imperfections, mistakes and shadow side.

An integrated man:

  • Has a strong sense of self and likes himself just as he is
  • Takes responsibility for getting his own needs met
  • Is comfortable with his masculinity and his sexuality
  • Has integrity - does what is right, not what is expedient
  • He is a leader - willing to provide for and protect those he cares about
  • He is clear, direct and expressive of his feelings
  • He can be nurturing and giving without caretaking and problem solving
  • He knows how to set boundaries and is not afraid to work through conflict
  • He doesn’t strive to be perfect or gain the approval for others, he accepts that he is perfectly imperfect

Nice guys are concerned with being ‘good’ and doing it ‘right’ The essence of the nice guy syndrome is, “if it doesn’t work, do it more”.

Traits of the nice guy:

  • Caretaking
  • Giving to get
  • Keeping the peace
  • Avoiding conflict
  • Seeking approval
  • Hiding mistakes

Program Endorsements

“I undertook the No More Mr Nice Guy Hero's Journey program in 2021 led by Forté. It was challenging, at times confronting and overall well worth the effort. The structured and guided week by week process was incredibly accessible and supportive.

Sharing a virtual space with other men seeking a better understanding of their level of integrity and purpose was very powerful and nurturing. The most enduring aha moment was when I realised it does not need to be perfect, I don't need to be perfect!!. At that point the stress reduced and the work flowed much better.

Am I a fully integrated man as a result? I am not sure I am there yet but I certainly know a whole lot more about myself, how I relate with others and what it feels like to be integrated. I will continue to follow that path and revisit the Journey in times of need to support my growth towards my integration and integrity.

Forté led the process well with compassion and empathy. He also kept us all accountable in our work and the support of others. It was life-changing and I can certainly recommend it to other men who are feeling lost in the nice guy pattern of behaviour”

— David - Participant

“I journeyed this with men last year with Forté facilitating. IT HAS CHANGED MY LIFE!!!! I knew I wasn't happy (again) and realised that this was a pattern in my life, I didn't know what to do about it.....until Forté handed me a book. I couldn't believe how well I identified with what was written, it was scary, uncomfortable and confronting.

Being able to do this with other men in a safe and guided way made the journey so much clearer, connected and understandable. If you resonate with some or any of the traits, this is for you! Step up, be in control of your own happiness! Much love.”

— Luke D - Participant



“I loved watching my husband become curious about himself. The course framework and his mentor, Forté was very supportive and created a space where Mark could take time to reflect and assess where he was at. I watched him become very present as he explored various aspects of life and his values.

It was exciting seeing him question if he was satisfied or explore something different and what else was possible. He always kept me in the loop about which topic he was up to and, even though so much of it was internal work, this helped me feel part of the process and curious too. Our relationship deepened as we revealed more to each other through gentle listening conversations.
