What men say

words from the founder of on being man

Yaron Engler

For several years, I explored various formats of men’s groups, seeking a reliable, consistent, intense, and trustworthy space for personal growth. However, I couldn’t find one that met all my requirements.

In 2019, I created the community I had envisioned, inviting men to join me in exploring the broader context of masculinity. Since then, the community has thrived, attracting committed men from around the world who desire a solid agenda and an honest, direct approach to personal growth and connection.

Frequently asked
questions

Joining a group of men committed to self-development can be both exciting and intimidating. You might wonder, ‘Will I connect with the other men?’ or ‘What kind of environment can I expect?’ Or ‘It is a macho or some kind of a hippie place?’. These are all common questions, and ones we’re familiar with. To give you a sense of how we work, we keep things down to earth, direct, and warm, focusing on creating an inclusive, non-judgmental space where honest conversations and genuine growth practices lead to deep personal progress. To get a feel for our approach and the spirit of the community, you’re welcome to join a free session of the Men’s Circle. It’ll give you a strong sense of how we run sessions, communicate, and create space for growth. 

One of our key agreements is Self-Honouring, which emphasises respecting your values, boundaries, and well-being. You have the freedom to decide how much you want to engage in discussions and practices. Think of it like a traffic light: the green zone is comfortable but keeps you stuck, and men in this training aren’t here to stay there. The amber zone is where true growth happens, challenging you within your boundaries. The red zone pushes too far, and we ensure no one goes there. The aim is to spend as much time as possible in the amber zone—this is where real progress happens. Remember, you’re always in control of your journey. To get a sense of how it’s done you can join a free session of the Men’s Circle

Our facilitators have dedicated many years to their own self-development and growth. They are all trained and possess years of experience in coaching and facilitation, both within and beyond the realm of men’s groups. To learn more about our facilitators, visit the About page.  If you’re feeling called to do this training and want to connect with a facilitator to discuss further and get all the details you need, you can book a discovery call here.

In addition to continued discussions and feedback opportunities you’ll experience: 

  • Meditations 
  • Breathing exercises
  • Mindfulness practices
  • Embodiment practices 
  • Anger management practices
  • Shame/judgments release practices
  • Cleansing & Clearing exercises (information, intakes, people)

You’ll join a total of 12 sessions: the first is a three-hour kickoff to build trust, followed by 11 two-hour sessions. Alongside these, there’ll be short content videos, weekly check-ins with a chosen man, and assignments. With 3-4 hours a week, you’ll do well—but as always, the more you put in, the more you’ll gain

The CROP cycle is a straightforward framework created by Yaron Engler, Founder of On Being Men. It’s designed to support each individual’s unique pace and intensity while ensuring the group advances together. To learn more about the CROP cycle, click here.

Yes! We invite you to  join a free session of the Men’s Circle to get a sense of our approach and the community’s spirit. While it’s not part of the actual training, it offers a solid introduction to how we work, communicate, and create a supportive space. Although the training itself is much more intensive, designed for deeper exploration and growth, the Men’s Circle will give you a feel for our style and tone, helping you decide if this is the right fit for you.

We get it—spending money on personal growth can feel odd, even selfish. It’s normal to feel uncertain, especially with the noise from society, family, and friends telling us it’s unnecessary. But if you’re here, there’s probably a part of you that feels this is something you truly want to do and we’re happy to help you figure out if this could be the right direction for you. 

Every one of us, the men behind the scenes of On Being Men has invested in our own growth, and we know it’s a big step. If you’re still on the fence, we’d like to invite you to  join a free session of our Men’s Circle, no strings attached. It’ll give you a sense of how we work, and if you’re still interested, you can book a discovery call with a facilitator to go a bit deeper and see how that feels. We’re here to help you make a choice that feels right for you.

You can join our weekly Men’s Circle sessions, where you’ll experience open discussions and deep connections with other like-minded men. Together, we explore areas like purpose, relationships, emotions, and finances. The Men’s Circle is a monthly subscription, but as a participant in On Being Men training, you’ll get free access.

Many men also choose to add one-to-one coaching sessions, tailored to support their personal growth needs. Packages start at £1,000, providing a focused path to build clarity, confidence, and courage. If you’re interested, we can discuss one-to-one coaching during your discovery call for the training.

Men who complete The Man You Want to Be training, can also continue with the Authentic Leadership Training to deepen your personal and professional leadership skills.
