Michael Boyle

• Michael Boyle is a therapist and leadership consultant. He founded A Band of Brothers in 2006, an organization in the United Kingdom that creates and supports contemporary rites of passage for young men, especially those who have been self-destructive, anti-social, or have fallen into the criminal justice system.

• Michael and his co-founders created a training weekend that would enable young men to make a new start in life, and claim a better future for themselves. Later, they transitioned from just a training weekend to an entire community of caring support, love, and Social action – elements that had been missing for those young men growing up. They have since expanded across the UK, and their track record is amazing – 80% of participants either do not re-offend or report much lower severity in their offending behavior. And they have showed substantial increases in self-esteem and self-worth, employment and education, housing security, and reductions in addiction, conflict, and violence.
