Tell Bill a little about what’s going on, and he’ll get back to you within 2 business days.
Maybe a relationship ended. Maybe the career stopped fitting. Maybe someone you love is gone, and the future you’d imagined looks nothing like it did. Whatever put you here, the question isn’t whether you’re stuck. It’s what to do next.
The Unstuck Techniques are eleven practical tools for finding what’s actually keeping you stuck and moving through it, one honest step at a time. Built over more than twenty years in the mediation room, by a mediator who noticed that the same techniques that resolved conflict between two people worked just as well on the conflict one person carries inside.
Pick the one that’s closest. Bill will meet you there with a technique, a short excerpt from the book, and a next step if you want one.
My relationship ended
My career feels wrong
Someone I love is gone
I can't decide what's next
I'm stuck in a conflict
I'm not sure yet
The relationship is over, but your nervous system doesn’t know that yet. Before you figure out what’s next, get honest about what’s still standing.
For more than twenty years, Bill has sat with people at the hardest, most conflicted moments of their lives and helped them find a way through. Along the way, he learned something that changed how he worked: agreement doesn’t create movement. Movement creates agreement. The Unstuck Techniques are what came out of that.
“Agreement doesn’t create movement; movement creates agreement.”— from the introduction to Unstuck

“I was fortunate to work with Bill in the aftermath of losing my home in the Palisades Fire. In the midst of overwhelming grief and an endless stream of paperwork, insurance claims, and difficult decisions, Bill helped me find clarity and a way forward. His knowledge, compassion, and calm guidance made an impossible situation feel manageable, one step at a time. More than anything, he helped me stay grounded when I needed it most. I’m deeply grateful for his support and would recommend him to anyone facing a major life transition or crisis.”
“Bill Ferguson’s customized approach helped me finally break through the performance anxiety I’d struggled with for years. Shortly after working with him, I faced a high-stakes event: hundreds of people, multiple moving parts, and a room full of eyes on me. What would have once meant sweaty palms, racing thoughts, and frantic nerves instead felt manageable, even enjoyable. If you’re feeling stuck, Bill’s techniques are the real thing.”
“Bill’s approach to getting unstuck assuaged my anxieties as I begin another chapter in life. Bill’s ability to help identify root causes and his reassurance that I don’t need all the answers for the long term, but rather to focus on the next 6 to 12 months, has put me on the path to finding happiness again.”
