What Navigators Are Saying

Real feedback from Beautiful Disasters who've met their Gary and lived to tell about it.

"

The Gary metaphor alone has saved three meetings this month. My right eye started twitching and I thought, 'Oh, there's Gary. Time to Stop, Drop, Roll.'

Last week my 8-year-old said 'Dad, I need to name it. I'm frustrated because you're not listening.' He was right. This stuff works on everybody.

Finally, a framework that bridges the gap between clinical research and practical application. The Emergency Brake protocol is exactly what my clients need when they're in the middle of a spiral.

I teach teenagers. TEENAGERS. I've started using 'Let's all Stop, Drop, and Roll for a second' before tests. They roll their eyes, but they also... actually do it.

About Clayton

Clayton M. Myhill

Clayton M. Myhill didn't set out to write a self-help book. He set out to stop being an emotional disaster in meetings, in his marriage, and at 3 AM with kitchen appliances that had done nothing wrong.

He's a retired senior military officer, MBA-trained executive coach, and runs an engineering firm designing systems for defence, aerospace, and medical clients—industries where "I'm having a moment" doesn't explain why the prototype is on fire.

Clayton is the creator of the Emotional Navigation System (ENS™), a practical framework for people who are too smart for regular self-help but too dysfunctional to not need it. His approach comes from twenty years of teaching emotional intelligence to soldiers, executives, and teenagers—proving that the best teachers usually learned everything the hard way.

When he's not writing about emotional fires, he's usually putting one out.

Gary's right eye approves of this biography.
