About Me
I came to coaching as a means of improving my own life. By many standards I was successful but for me it was not enough.
I had a job that meant I worked long hours, often I was ex-hausted and disheartened. Teaching in a London secondary school has its own rewards but work life balance is not one of them. I wanted to be able to enjoy my life now, not in 15 years time when I retire. Thankfully, I have some wonderful friends and I know they were worried about me, I knew I had to do something about it.
I had a home, a mortgage and a holiday once a year. Now I have my dream apartment overlooking the Thames, a property portfolio and several holidays a year. Ive recently come back from Australia (click to see pic) and Singapore and have now visited every continent in the world.
So how did I make those changes? I started training as a coach with Coaching and Mentoring International and thoroughly enjoyed the training I had with them, I met many wonderful people who I regard myself lucky to count amongst my friends. I found coaching a really powerful tool that enabled me to make huge changes in my life.
I was still unsure about coaching for a living until I offered to help a friends daughter who was unhappy as she couldnt decide what to do about a very important and pressing matter.
I met with her and coached her over an orange soda in a local pub, not very professional I know but the only option available at the time. She came in looking dejected and tired but left having made her decision, smiling with her shoulders back and looking a whole lot more confident and relaxed.
It was at that point that I decided I wanted to coach for a living. The sheer buzz I felt then is one of the best feelings Ive ever had and I still get that buzz today from hearing a client making strides forward into improving his or her life.
My clients tell me that Im relaxing to talk to, they feel they can trust me and know that I wont make judgements about them or their goals. If you want to see if they are right, click here now to book a free session with me either by Skype or by phone.
There are still places that I want to see and I will see them. Coaching helps me to set my goals and achieve them at my own pace.
Sounds great but how much does it cost?
