I help men strengthen their core masculine attributes, that is, I help men get their balls back, their minds back, and their hearts back, so they can get the lives and relationships they want.
My approach is (1) positive, clarifying your vision for your future; (2) practical, with a bias toward action and personal agency; (3) proven, using the best resources in contemporary personal development, men's work, and the Christian Tradition; and (4) partnered, because we all need accountability and a fellowship of men who have our backs. We'll start where you are, clarify where you want to go, and develop a plan to get you there.

Father Michael Butler has been a mentor for me for the past three years. He has a unique ability to hear, see and create space for other men to shine which means he really stimulates growth in his mentees. He is a man of his word, who takes great care to say what he will do and do what he says. His example of great integrity inspires me to be a better man. Despite being under great pressure and stress at times, with massive responsibilities of a large and growing parish, a family, coaching and mentoring clients, and a deep and wide network of volunteer work responsibilities, he can always be counted on, is always willing and able to set aside his own needs and be there for me, no matter how small and insignificant the need. He serves tirelessly, courageously and with great fortitude and I consider myself highly privileged to know him and consider him my mentor.

I have had the privilege to be mentored by Fr Michael Butler for
couple of years now. Working with him has been hugely beneficial for
me and his knowledge and spiritual wisdom have helped me to navigate my personal and professional life towards success.
I highly recommend his coaching and other services.

I want to thank you for returning to [church] for the retreat this weekend. I have had several conversations with other men at my parish about your talks and it's inspired a lot more thoughts and plans for each of us, individually and as a community. … Several times Friday evening and then Saturday, I readily identified with how you described men today. … I'm tired of being the same old self that I have been. I have tried self-improvement programs and such in the past, but I haven't been able to consistently stay the course with any of them. I am in need of help and I was moved by your talk this weekend.

Man, I just saw your post I want to tell you I’m one of the ones who was raised without my dad or grandpa being around. The kind of stuff you post helps tremendously. Keep it up.
Man, man, I just appreciate men like you who take time for us younger guys.

Phenomenal message. Coming across your page was, coincidentally, the best timing. I'm in the stages of removing myself from [my] family, placing boundaries with people, and standing up for myself and those I care for. These messages really are helping me understand what it means to be a man… though I had a father, I was never thought how to be a man.

Amazing, you are doing a very important job for the world, the world needs stronger and more capable men, you're influencing men to become exactly that. I am an 18-year-old man who try to become the best version of myself, keep going, you're doing great!!
In this the fifth and last talk, Fr Michael talks about the “Voice of the Father,” which, in contrast to the “Voice of the Accuser,” is full of grace and mercy. As adoptive sons of God, we, too, can hear the Father affirm that we are His beloved sons, in whom He is well pleased. …
In this first talk, Fr Michael describes some of the wounds men bear, especially the verbal wounding we receive from our dads, from siblings, bullies, and other men in our lives, as well as the harsh self-talk in which we engage every day. There is some coarse language here. “Satan,” or “Shaitan” in the original …
The four Natural Virtues recognized by the ancient philosophers–courage, restraint, prudence, & justice–are alive and well today. In this video, I show how men in the self-development arena are using updated versions of the four virtues to help men lead optimal lives. Podcast: Play in new window | Download
