A Personal Note from Aran (the Band Camp story)
If you're finding it increasingly hard to be happy—what with a relentless to-do list, the pressure to perform in the vast array of hats you wear, and a sense that happiness is an outdated concept in a world of chaos...I hear you loud and clear! I wholeheartedly believe there is a better way for us to navigate this uncertain world we live in. Happiness is just too short-lived, shallow, and shaky to deliver what we're seeking.
This is where Mental Fitness comes in. Think of it as the operating system for your life. While happiness depends on everything going right, Mental Fitness gives you the tools to navigate it all—even when things are a bit meh or go wrong. It moves us away from the exhausting pursuit of the best version of me and toward the sustainable power of "better"—for ourselves and for the world around us. Mental Fitness is balanced, dynamic, and far more aligned with the truth of being a 21st-century human.
From Software Systems to People Systems
In my last corporate role, I served as the Asia Pacific Regional Head of IT Quality Management and Testing for a global investment bank. Leading a team of 200+ technologists, I was a master of processes and tools. A PRINCE2 Project Manager, ISEB Software Testing Practitioner, ISO9001-trained in Quality Management, and CMMI specialist—the works. I was at the top of my game in process optimization—then I discovered the neuroscience of coaching. In that moment, my focus shifted entirely. I realized that the most complex and rewarding systems to optimize weren't software-based; they were human.
I traded the corporate suit for a mission of my own, establishing my first business, 'Get To Know Your Brain' in 2011. I threw myself into the deep end of professional development, becoming a trained and certified Executive Coach and a practitioner of diverse psychometric tools. My early clients spanned industries, from the high-stakes environments of banking, defense, and construction to the rigorous halls of academia.
A pivotal moment of imposter syndrome sparked my next breakthrough. Moments before delivering a session on the neuroscience of mindfulness to 300+ people across Asia, the facilitator introduced me as "one of the region’s top experts in mindfulness." Mortified—by this ludicrous label which was reinforced by my belief that one can never truly master mindfulness—that discomfort transformed into a quest for deeper systemic understanding. It led me to a MSc in Studies in Mindfulness at the University of Aberdeen, a journey that coincided with my move from Singapore back to the UK.
The person is the project. The people are the point.
The person is the project. The people are the point.
I hold a Diploma in Learning and Development, and I am a Master Certified Coach (MCC), a distinction held by only the top 6% of ICF coaches globally. For the past 15 years I have continued to support people in their personal and professional lives through coaching, training, and consulting.
Mental Fitness For Humans launched in Spring 2026, and I am already plotting out to 2050—the year that will mark the 25th anniversary of World Mental Fitness Day. Around that time—just before my 80th birthday—I’ll decide whether I’m ready to retire or if I'm still energized to do more. There's plenty of space and opportunity for you to join me on this planet-sized mission to mainstream mental fitness, and I hope you share my heartfelt conviction that this could increase contentment and fulfillment for millions, or even billions, of people: every single one of us deserves it. I believe we have the capacity, along with the necessity, to feel better.
When I’m not mainstreaming mental fitness, I’m living it—usually through watching live or televised sport, ticking off new countries, returning home to New Zealand, or attempting to convince my beloved, cherished teenagers that I'm fun to hang out with.
Warmly wishing you well,
Aran Dadswell MSc MCC

A note on recordings: As a general rule, we intentionally do not record sessions. We do this to protect the intimate, confidential nature of our work, which allows for the "magic" of deep, experiential learning. It also encourages the full commitment that makes this program so impactful for everyone. Besides—we’d rather not add another "dusty" recording to your digital corner that doesn't actually contribute to your mental fitness!
For 1:1 coaching, you are politely requested to reschedule online at least 48 hours before your session start time. Of course, life happens, and sometime you can only give 24 hours' notice; that's OK, we understand.

Do I need to renew my Mental Fitness Coach Certification?
No, you do not. We want you to focus on the mission, not the paperwork. This is a perpetual "piggyback" certification. We trust the rigor of your governing body, so as long as you remain a credentialed coach in good standing with your primary organization (e.g., ICF, EMCC, or equivalent), your Mental Fitness Certification remains current. We don't ask for renewal fees—we simply ask that you continue to champion the mission of mental fitness in your practice.
