How to Navigate our site...

Lost in the links? Start with the menu at the top of every page. dip into “News & Views” for weekly insights, or choose “Individual Coaching” if it’s a solo climb and “Team Coaching” when the whole crew needs alignment. Every page leaves a breadcrumb back to this Contact hub, so wander as long as you need—once something cuts through the fog, one click brings you right back here to start the conversation.

Dear Brother on the Trail,

I’m Patrick, founder of Aruka Coaching, and I have a hunch about the man reading this. You may be in your forties or edging into your sixties—partner, dad, leader, the one others lean on. On paper, you’ve made it. Yet between late-night emails and another “success” milestone, a quieter voice keeps asking, “Is this really it?” You still love fiercely, but intimacy can feel scripted, the spark with your kids sometimes thin, and the energy that once launched you out of bed now offers excuses. You sense there’s a fuller way to show up, but you’re unsure where the path begins.

That man—the one who’s accomplished and still restless—is why I created Aruka Coaching.
I spent two decades ticking off corporate victories while something vital shrank inside me. One night I stood in front of my bookshelf, two dusty tech manuals beside rows of unread titles on leadership, faith, and culture, and realised: I never cared about servers; I cared about people. That moment birthed Aruka—Hebrew for “to heal, to restore”—and set me on a road that’s guided hundreds of men out of fog and into focused purpose.

You’ve likely done some inner work already. Perhaps therapy, a men’s retreat, breathwork, prayer, late-night journaling, or dog-eared books next to the bed. Reflection isn’t new for you; what you want now is traction—honest mirrors, faith-aware insight, and brain-science tools that turn ahas into action.

Our work restores what’s already within you: a steady identity that doesn’t wobble when markets or moods do; purpose that matches how you’re wired, not just what pays the mortgage; habits that carry you when motivation limps; relationships that move from polite to powerful around both the boardroom and dinner table.

This process is deep, direct, and demanding. If you’re comparing ten coaches in a spreadsheet or hoping for a magic wand while you stand still, we won’t fit. But if your chest tightens while you read these words—if something inside whispers, “Yes, this is the conversation”—trust that nudge. Don’t let polite procrastination steal another season; the trail is brightest the moment you decide to walk it.

Take your time with the words on this site. Sit with whatever moves you. When the fog lifts—even a fraction—you’ll know the next step.

Keep moving toward the man you were built to be.

Conflict and Cohesion: The Surprising Duo in Thriving Teams
In many teams, conflict is viewed as threatening and destructive — something to be avoided, managed, or silenced. After all, “good” teams get along, right? Not quite. In truth, the absence of conflict often signals something far more dangerous than disagreement: conformity. When a team go...
