About

A life devoted to understanding what it means to be human

Glenn-Douglas Haig

Just over twenty years ago, Glenn was shot seven times by armed robbers and died in the back of an ambulance. During a twenty-minute near-death experience his life purpose became clear — and he has devoted himself to it ever since.

He studied esoteric disciplines, completed a Master's degree in Metaphysics and became an InnerLifeSkills® coach. Today he specialises in adult ADHD coaching through the ADHD Big Sister collective in the United Kingdom. He still coaches executives, small-business owners and everyday people seeking peace and clarity.

Glenn divides his time between Europe and Port Alfred, a small town in the Eastern Cape, where he keeps a sizeable vegetable garden, raises ducks and goes deep-sea fishing as often as he can. He is an author, painter and relaxed nature lover — "a master of an ordinary life."
