Most people never learn to manage their mind

You manage your calendar, your inbox, even your sleep. But when your mind won’t settle or you feel overwhelmed, none of that helps.

What if you could learn to work with your mind instead of fighting it?

You can. And it’s simpler than you think.

Managing your mind is a skill. You can learn it, practise it, and get better at it.

We teach you simple, practical tools to handle thoughts, emotions, and attention. Through deliberately straightforward explanations, you’ll feel calmer, more focused, and confident.

Testimonials

Kirsty WellsDirector, Digitopia.Design
“David's Mind Management sessions have genuinely been one of the most practical and grounding things I’ve done for managing work-life pressure. What I found most valuable was how applicable everything felt - not about switching your brain off or pretending stress doesn’t exist, but learning how to pause, reset and respond differently when things feel overwhelming. Since finishing, I’ve noticed I’m better at catching stress before it spirals, creating space between thoughts and reactions, and being kinder to myself on busy days.”

“Amazing! This course is on a different level to other courses I have attended. Everything is clearly explained with the focus on developing skills. I feel re-energised and re-focussed with a new confidence that I have the skills and techniques to work with my mind rather than it working against me. The handouts are great and the meditations incredibly helpful. Everybody needs these skills and David is in a league of his own as a teacher and mentor. He is passionate, completely authentic and provides a safe, supportive and nurturing environment. I regard him as a guru”

"David’s Mind Management course combines education, practical techniques and guided meditations. I can highly recommend this for anyone interested in using meditation, whether that is to deal with grief, relieve stress and anxiety, or in dealing with everyday life and bring wellness into focus. David’s own personal experience and expert knowledge really help to bring this to life. I can honestly say that learning how to focus on awareness was a bit of a wow moment!"

“Through his personal and professional experience, David provides an ​innovative, valuable and interesting perspective to emerging thinking ​in relation to D,E&I. He focusses on mindfulness as a core element of ​cognitive diversity which is integral to effective, inclusive and robust ​decision-making. I would highly recommend David’s input and ​expertise.”

“A wonderful session David, very many thanks for leading it - some ​powerfully important themes which resonated with all of us, and truly ​positive feedback all round.”
Louise Farrand
Louise FarrandExecutive Chair, DCIF
“It was a great pleasure to have David along to give a Lunch and Learn ​session to the DC Investment Forum about the importance of ​mindfulness. David’s calm and focused presence is, in itself, a ​testament to the power of mindfulness. I think we could all do with ​more of it in the pensions world! Everyone who attended the session ​came away knowing more about mindfulness, and with a better ​understanding of what a powerful tool it could be for pension ​fiduciaries.”
Jacqui Reid
Jacqui ReidPartner, Sackers
“We recently had the pleasure of hosting David Butcher at a lunchtime ​session for Sackers staff on mindfulness and its relevance for the ​pensions industry. Drawing on his own professional and personal ​experience, David highlighted the importance of developing self-​awareness in the workplace as a crucial part of improving inclusion and ​diversity of thought. Applying this to the pensions industry, he showed ​us how improving self-awareness is key to the successful development of ​EDI strategies and in turn to the success of organisations. Thank you ​David for a fascinating session, which was well delivered, engaging and ​extremely thought provoking.”
Elizabeth Gane
Elizabeth GanePartner, Gowling WLG
“David is a thoughtful, passionate advocate of the importance of ​mindfulness for organisations, decision-making and human beings! He ​applies his experience in the pensions industry to deliver his message in ​an authentic, persuasive, reasoned way – using an evidence based ​approach. Thank you David for leading a session for all of us.”
Anthony Webb
Anthony WebbAssociate Director, ISIO
“In a session for the Isio London office David was an expert guide to both ​the effects of mindfulness and the evidence behind it. We found it ​extremely valuable session which enthused the whole team. David is a ​very warm character and a great person to bring this technique to life.”

"We had the great pleasure of David joining us at Ruffer to share his invaluable and helpful insight on an ever increasingly important topic – mindfulness.

Why I teach mind management

For years, my mind was out of control. As a busy CEO, I was overloaded and burnt out. I managed everything, except the one thing that mattered most.

Then my dad and wife died within 3 weeks of each other; my wife after battling cancer for 4 years. For a year, I tried to hold everything together as a single parent. Then I collapsed from exhaustion and spent the next three years with chronic fatigue.

Mind management saved my life.

It taught me how to work with my mind, rather than against it.

I’m one of the less than 5% who fully recover from chronic fatigue. And I know it’s because I learned to manage my mind.

You might not face my journey. But I know you face your own struggles, your own overwhelm, your own difficult moments. Learning to manage your mind will make all the difference.

Work with organisations

I work with businesses and teams who want to build resilience, focus, and clarity from the inside out.

Through tailored workshops, talks, and executive coaching, I help leaders and teams develop the mind management skills that strengthen performance, reduce stress, and improve how people show up for each other.
