Work With Me

Two ways to step in.
The field. Or the room.

You can go into extreme terrain with me, or sit across from me for a direct conversation. The environment changes. What's asked of you doesn't.

The Expedition.
Real terrain. Real stakes.

A small group of men. An extreme environment. Several days stripped of routine, role, and comfort. I design everything, the terrain, the sequence of pressure, the moments of isolation, the shared fire. Nothing is arbitrary.

This is not a retreat. Not a course. Not a program. A real expedition, with real stakes, alongside men who are serious about the same thing.

What to expect
Real difficultyNot engineered for comfort. The terrain is unforgiving, the schedule is not yours, and there are no exit ramps once you're in.
Small groupMaximum 8 men. Selected. Everyone has been through the same application process. The group is part of the experience.
Designed, not improvisedEverything has a reason, even when it doesn't look like it. Safety infrastructure is in place before departure.
Something permanentYou come back with clarity, with brothers who know who you actually are, and with a story worth telling.
Man Uncharted expedition
What men say

"I didn't expect it to hit me like that. At some point out there, the physical fades into the background — and what's left is just you, stripped of everything you normally use to manage how people see you. That's the most valuable thing."

Alex — Man Uncharted expedition

"It felt like months of life compressed into one week. You come back with clarity you didn't have before, real friendships that didn't exist a week ago, and a completely different lens on what actually matters."

Ed — Man Uncharted expedition

"There are no guardrails out there. No one managing the experience to make sure you're comfortable. That forces you to let go of the need to control everything — and just deal with what's in front of you. That shift alone is worth the entire week."

Steele — Man Uncharted expedition

The conversation no one around you
will have with you.

I work with a maximum of three individuals at a time. For men with a specific, high-stakes challenge who need to think it through with someone who has actually operated under real pressure, not just studied it.

Sessions are not curriculum-based. We go where the problem is. I don't follow a script. I adapt to what you need most, which is not always what you want.

What to expect
No fluffI cut straight to the core. I'll challenge how you think, confront you with what you're avoiding, and say the things you need to hear.
Not there to please youPeople say I'm like an axe with a cotton blade. Precise, direct, relentless on what matters. You have friends for reassurance. This is something different.
Full commitment on my endI take on very few clients. When I do, I'm fully present. I don't do this at scale and I don't pretend to.
Results are on youI will support you to the best of my ability. I will not do the reps for you. Your results are directly proportional to your actions.
François de Neuville coaching
What clients say

"I've done well over 50 sessions with François and I haven't had a single moment of regret. He is a dynamic coach — exactly what I needed. I'm always careful with recommendations, but François is an exception."

Mario Joos — Retention Director, Belgium

"François coached me to remove distractions from my work and family life, while helping me make a difficult but critical move in my management team — a decision I'd been putting off for 2 years."

Patrick Suiker — Founder, Netherlands

"Working with François was a real game-changer in both my personal and professional life. He kept challenging me and helped me think differently."

Jernej Suša — Manager, Slovenia
