For the Personal Development secrets YOU need to know...



Personal growth and development techniques for everyone...

My name is Alex Webley and I have lots to tell you which will help you have a happier, healthier and better life - starting today. Both personally and if you have a business.

I am a Life Coach & Counsellor and also a Corporate/Business Coach.

Like you, I have no time for waffle, half baked ideas, stuff that doesn't work or is just plain untrue.

Personal Development Magic - I chose the name partly because I make a huge difference to people's lives with powerful techniques that are surprisingly straightforward and effective. This is partly because I have had PERSONAL EXPERIENCE in overcoming severe difficulties myself. I did not simply learn just from books, courses or helping others alone. I KNOW what works.

My personal vision is to spend the rest of my life helping as many people as possible, primarily through the field of personal development. The reasons I have this vision will become more apparent as you delve deeper into my websites and blogs.

One of my aims is to dispel many of the myths surrounding personal development and provide you, the reader, with information that will assist you in a real way that actually works.

I have a key focus on truth - not my own opinion or my own idea of truth. After all, what use is it really when we have a head full of stinking thinking?

You can find out more about me, my life philosophy and why I am well qualified to help you by visiting my About me page on this site and also by reading the information on the rest of this page.

I run a couple of Blogs too: www.AlexWebley.net and www.PersonalDevelopmentMagic.net - the latter has key articles about personal growth.

Solving life's problems and issues involves using and acting upon the right wisdom.

Dictionaries define wisdom as follows:

• 1. The ability to discern or judge what is true, right, or lasting; insight.
• 2. Common sense; good judgment: “It is a characteristic of wisdom not to do desperate things” (Henry David Thoreau).
• 3.a. The sum of learning through the ages; knowledge: “In those homely sayings was couched the collective wisdom of generations” (Maya Angelou)
• 3.b. Wise teachings of the ancient sages.
• 4. A wise outlook, plan, or course of action.
• 5. Wisdom Bible. Wisdom of Solomon.

The Bible goes further stating: "For wisdom is better than rubies; and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it." Proverbs 8 v11.

Now, I am not "religious"; rather - spiritual - and have learned from deep and personal experience that wisdom is indeed the most valuable thing one can obtain.

Hanging on to my own opinion can be a hindrance and at times even worse; so I also have learned to love truth and a humble mindset.

I love things that work and I am sure you do too. Like you, I have no time for fancy theories, waffle or half baked stuff.

Because I had an extremely bad start in life due to very poor parenting; which resulted in severe emotional, spiritual and psychological problems; as a child, teenager and young man my life was one big mess. Being a bit deaf*, highly intelligent, well educated, intuitive about people and their real motives, as well as sensitive only made things worse. (*And yes, I got called "four ears", spastic too).

In my 20's I started the process of fixing myself and my life - whilst it wasn't my fault I was in such a mess, it was my responsibility to fix it.

I soon found out that I could find very few people that could help someone with the severity of my problems; and those that could were only able to assist with parts**. Elsewhere in this site you will find more detail on this part of my life - it may help some of you. (**Special thanks to Grace Hayward and Val Beale).

Simply speaking, I had to find solutions that worked, lasted and that few seemed to know anything about. I experienced the loneliness of the pioneer. I studied the mind and "how people tick" as a matter of life and death.

Fortunately for me, (and others I have helped since) I found solutions and am now a very happy, calm, contented person. Whilst I would never want to go through what I suffered again, I am now very grateful I had the experience because without it I would not be who I am today, nor have the knowledge & wisdom that goes with it.

Years ago, when I did some Army training (British) I noticed that combat/operations veterans had a significant edge over those who had not been through the experience. I have great respect for learning, academic institutions and learned individuals, however nothing can take the place of experience. Whilst I had an excellent initial education at one of the finest schools in the world (Rugby School, England), and then much later gained a degree in Counselling and a Philosophy Ph.D; I credit my practical life experience with the most importance.

Lateral thinking is second nature to me, as is the big picture with a key focus on facts and results. If something is worth doing then it should be done well. Helping people is a passion and joy to me and before I leave this world I want to ensure as many people benefit from my experience as possible.

So, if you want to make a difference in your life or business then please get in touch today - there is no obligation - just make the call, email or send a letter. Be someone who takes action.

Where am I?

I am based on the Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia and easily accessible to people in many Gold Coast regions for counselling, including Southport, Surfers Paradise, Broadbeach, Bundall, Ashmore, Sorrento, Benowa and Nerang. Some clients travel from further away such as Brisbane, Tweed Heads (NSW), Burleigh Heads, Coolangatta, Oxenford, Coomera, Mudgeeraba and Hope Island.

Some of my clients are even further afield such as in Melbourne Victoria, Sydney NSW, Hobart Tasmania, Adelaide South Australia, Perth Western Australia, Canberra ACT and Darwin Northern Territory. Many of these benefit from telephone and/or video counselling.

Other clients are overseas, primarily in English speaking nations such as the USA, Canada, United Kingdom and New Zealand.

(A note about spelling: Sometimes you will see the same word spelt differently - this is because I have clients worldwide and many of them use American spelling instead of the British/Australian version. When people type search terms into a search engine they tend to use their natural/preferred language. So, what may appear to be a spelling mistake is actually part of my search engine optimization strategy to help people find me! e.g. Counsellor and Counselor.)
