John Broadbent stumbled into self-development at a life-and-death moment in 1991, from which he discovered how much he'd been 'sleepwalking' through life. It wasn't until an experiential workshop, where he shed tears for the first time since being a child, that he realised how desensitised to feelings he had been. What unfolded was a remarkable inward journey through reading, workshops, and in that he discovered what's known as 'men's work'. For almost 3 decades, John has grown his skills as a coach, mentor, retreat creator and facilitator for men, both in Australia and overseas.Writing the first edition of Man Unplugged and publshing in 2014, showed John that many men were struggling with the same issues hed largely overcome. In mid-2024, while watching a podcast, he had the realisation that he needed to complete the fuly revised and updated 2nd Edition, seek reviews from multiple men's organisations, and prepare the book for a wider audience. This became his mission and commitment to bring it to fruition, to reach more men and women, to improve the quality of life of men, across the board. John is also a keynote speaker, creating engaging presentations on a range of topics for various groups.
