I’ve been developing and working with people of all manner and nature for nearly twenty years, and there’s one thing I’ll say “We human beings are fascinating aren’t we?”
Think of all the things we do and feel and even learn without even knowing how or why we do? Then think how much of that can effect us.
Stuff such as…
What we do?
Why we do it?
What we believe?
Why we believe it?
How well all that works for us, or sometimes not?
The great thing is we can choose to change almost any of that and often easier than you might think!
I started my early career working with and developing people in the outdoor world. Sometimes with disaffected children and teens, sometimes your average family and sometimes a rarified air breathing high flyer or two. I’ve been personally coaching and guiding people in some pretty extreme places, mountains, jungles, caves, and wild rivers to name but a few and not forgetting those office and urban settings too.
No matter what guise I’m working under the one thing I always focus on is helping the client improve in a way that works for them.
In these places I’ve worked with a huge range of people, ages 10 to 70, different genders, sexuality, life experience, educational development, work life and aspiration.
I noticed one simple thing.
It didn’t matter a hill of beans who someone was, what they looked like, how educated they were, how much wealth they had. Their competence, confidence and motivation came down to one simple thing.
How they thought about themselves and their ability in that situation.
What they believed dictated how they behaved.
What they thought dictated how they performed.
After many years I noticed that to help people improve their ability practically and emotionally, the most important work I had to do was to work with their inner mind, the part that say’s “I can” …. Or in some cases “I am”.
Often just changing that was more than enough
What was even more important to me was that people had absolutely no idea how amazing they could be. They had huge untapped potential.
So what did I do to learn how to help change all that?
I trained long and hard and continue to, in learning skills, techniques, tricks and interventions that will help people make the greatest steps in their lives, the greatest journeys they will ever take….. the one inside themselves to decided to change for the better and grow.
My training and professional experience possibly makes me uniquely qualified in the UK to work with you on an inner and outer life changing journeys.
