Have you ever asked your own opinion

We constantly ask people for their opinions. On matters financial, we ask accountants or financial advisors. If we are sick we ask doctors, on legal issues we ask lawyers. But when was the last time you consulted the acknowledged expert in what you should do next. This is a person who knows what you are like, what your hopes are, and over the years has come to know what you can do. Of course the person I am talking about is you.

Most people never stop to think of it, but the person who knows you best is you. So why not make a pact with yourself to consult this expert when you need help with your life. Ask him or her what your goals are, and how you can achieve them Ask him or her if your life is in balance, and work, family, health and recreation are all getting their fair share of attention. Ask him or her if your life is fulfilled, if you help others and if you are happy.

If he or she answers in the negative on any of these, that is not a good thing. However there is some really good news. He or she will have all the answers as to how to turn things around, and to get you back living a balanced and fulfilling life again. He or she is easy to meet, but sometimes they are not always prepared to listen or to talk. You have to make an appointment with yourself, to find somewhere quiet where you will not be disturbed, and where you can give all these issues a good airing, and run through all the possibilities.

Good luck. If you have trouble contacting yourself, then contact me. I will help you make contact.

Life Coaching - The beginning

For years I worked in the IT industry, and was IT manager in a pension company when I was introduced to Life Coaching. It was the HR manager who actually introduced me, and straight away I could see the benefits of it in my job as an IT manager. I decided then and there that Life Coaching was to become a large part of my life, and this feeling has grown daily ever since I started on this journey.

Life coaching is such a good fit with my personality. Helping people to help themselves was what I naturally gravitated towards, and certainly this is at the core of Life Coaching. However Life coaching is so much more than that. It is a discipline which is scientifically proven to help people to get the best out of themselves. It is based in research, and follows primarily a logical path, which to my hardwired IT brain makes great sense.

This is the first in what I hope will be regular posts here. I hope you enjoy them.
