I am a qualified life coach.
I specialise in coaching busy career-driven males who are
struggling to manage the high demands their work is having on their personal life.
I’ve got a background in working for and managing a small
business, so I understand that whilst smashing your career goals and being successful is a fantastic feeling (certainly one to be proud of), other areas of life can get forgotten.
My driver for my coaching business comes from my dad. He was
a successful, dedicated and savvy businessman, and I worked closely with him for five years. I admired his work ethic immensely. But he sacrificed far too much of himself for others. He didn’t take time off work. He put himself on the back burner. He didn’t take care of himself the way he could have. He constantly said things like, “I’ll travel once I retire”, “I haven’t got time now”, and “I can’t take a day
off; I need to work”.
Most of what gave him joy was put off until “later”. My dad
passed away two months before he was due to retire. So he never got to travel. He won’t see his daughters get married. He can’t see his grandkids grow up. Family was everything to him, yet he will miss out on so much.
My dad took on the role of provider and the dedicated family
man who never let us go without, for which I’ll be forever grateful. But we all wanted him to slow down and learn to enjoy the rewards of his hard work.
He was always working 100mph but running on empty.
I can’t bring him back. But what I am determined to do is
help as many men in similar situations to make a change before they reach that point and it’s too late.
