You know something needs to change, but no matter how hard you’ve tried, you’re stuck and struggle to create the change you need? The FRESH START program gives you clarity on what to change, why it works, and how to make it happen easily and joyfully, so you can finally live life to the fullest.
"I started the FRESH START course because I wanted to learn more on how to hold myself accountable, little did I know it would teach me so much more. It really teaches you a framework/ language on how to reach your own goals, and all the different layers that come with it. It has hugely impacted my life in the best way possible, and I will continually use everything it has taught me.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you Maike."

Let's face it: Life isn't perfect and change is hard!
How many times have you wanted to start a healthy new habit, knowing it is the best thing you could do for your body and your mind, only to give up part-way through?
Whether this is looking after yourself by living a healthier lifestyle, such as exercising regularly or eating better, take charge of your career and finally do work that you love, or getting on top of your wealth, so you can do more of the things that excite you.
Somewhere along the pathway of life you got stuck where you currently are. And while you’ve known that something needs to change for a while, you haven’t been able to make it happen, no matter how often you’ve tried.
Please know that you're not alone – most people have been here before.
And this is why I am so excited so share the FRESH START Program with you – so now you’ll be able to understand the psychology behind creating a life that you love, and the mindset needed to develop new habits that stick – this time for good.
"I had the opportunity to complete Maike's self-leadership course. I wasn't sure what to expect and little did I know back then that it was the start of a very deep personal transformation. Maike gives you that confidence we all need, keeping you grounded and realistic. During coaching sessions, she's super approachable and open to discuss without judgement. I can't recommend this course enough, no matter what stage of your life you're at. It's so rewarding and a great tool to grow as an individual."

FRESH START teaches you both:
SELF-LEADERSHIP + FLOURISHING
Across 12 self-paced video lessons, I step you through the positive psychology and self-leadership essentials that you need to create positive change in your life. Each video lesson comes with its own workbook, so you can put the theory straight into practice and start creating the change you desire.
As with all of my work, the FRESH START Program is evidence-based, which means it teaches you exclusively what has been PROVEN to work across research studies from all over the world.
Upon completion of the program, you will feel like you’re BACK IN THE DRIVER SEAT of your own life. You’ll finally have CLARITY around what it is that serves you well and what doesn’t. You’ll be EMPOWERED as you know exactly what to do to identify what you need to do next. And, you’ll finally be able to make any HABIT stick, look after yourself, live your FULL POTENTIAL, and create that MEANINGFUL LIFE you want. Are you ready?
"For someone who suffers a degree of imposter syndrome I have undertaken so many self-development courses. I can unequivocally say that this course [FRESH START] is by far one of the best I have done (and there are heaps). The content was professional and credible as well as time balanced and not too overwhelming. I can’t thank Dr Maike enough, this was a hugely valuable course that I would take again and recommend to anyone wanting to foster positive change and realise their potential."

What topics are covered?
FRESH START is based on my unique, evidence-based self-leadership framework, which has 3 fundamental elements: self-knowledge, self-goalsetting, and self-regulation. Throughout the Program, you will learn what these three elements mean, why they are important, and, most importantly, how you can master them.
You will learn this across 12 individual modules, covering topics from positive psychology, behaviour change science and neuroscience, such as:
-
True happiness, miswanting and what we really need in order to lead a fulfilled life
-
Core values and strengths and how we can use them to find meaning & purpose AND accomplish our goals
-
Self-goalsetting - what even does that mean and how do we do it (spoiler alert: this includes more than just making goals SMART)
-
Motivation, the myths behind it, and what the best way is to optimise it
-
Willpower, self-discipline, and procrastination
-
The role of human needs, and how you can maximise your physical and mental energy in order to smash those goals of yours
-
Mindset, mindfulness, focus and performance: how they are related to your goal and the number one thing you should do in order to avoid procrastination
-
Feeling confident, taking action, and the number one thing you NEED to do in order to build a new habit
-
Building resilience and cultivating the number one characteristic distinguishing the successful from the unsuccessful
-
Emotions, emotional regulation and the link to performance
-
The human mind, the two most fundamental systems it operates in and what you need to do in order to control which one you use yourself
"Maike's delivery of the [FRESH START] program is the perfect balance between engaging conversation and scientific data and evidence. The program provides a mountain's worth of valuable insights, learning and tangible practices. I have gained the clarity of purpose behind my actions and built the confidence to realise my goal. I recommend this program to anyone who is searching for the spark to chase their dreams."

"Completing the Fresh Start course is exactly what I needed. With her down-to-earth, warm and encouraging manner, Maike curated and delivered the essential information I needed to start to develop and grow into the person I want to be. I felt confident in Maike’s approach and reassured by her comprehensive background in positive psychology – it’s not every day that someone with a PhD imparts this level of wisdom, backed by research and science! Completing this course was an absolute game-changer for me. I loved that it was self-paced, and had reflections to help deepen self-awareness. Even now I find myself going back to the concepts and information I learnt in order to continue to make decisions (both little and big), with greater understanding of my needs and to set myself up for success. This was a catalyst for change for me, and I am so grateful for Maike’s generosity in sharing her knowledge and expertise."

"I met with Dr Maike Neuhaus to help me with a challenging crossroad I was facing in my personal and professional life. I was instantly drawn to her warmth and supportive coaching style. After the first session I came away feeling more energised, motivated and positive about the options I had and a way forward to a brighter future, something I hadn't felt in months. She just got me and gets it and I feel so grateful to have gained some helpful insights into her psychological toolkit to help me through this period and I'm feeling excited about the next chapter and continuing our coaching sessions."
