My direction

Little by little, as I look back over my life, I am beginning to make sense of it and a direction is emerging. This is what it looks like so far

The main thread throughout my life is that of understanding, wanting to understand how things (including people and the universe) work. This fits in with the description of soul type 5, see the New Equations website

This started with playing with chemistry sets, electrics (light bulbs and batteries), electronics (speakers, radios, and transistors) and computer hardware. This lead me into computer software. The great thing about software is the immediate feedback, either it works or it doesn't

Once I found that there wasn't much new for me to learn about how computers worked I started to study how I function myself and how I could work differently. This lead me into NLP and coaching

Now that I run my own coaching business I am learning all about getting clients, running a business and coaching my clients

Over the years I have collected a lot of ideas and concepts. Through my various jobs I have also become very good a listening and creative problem solving. Many of these skills I now use whilst coaching my clients

And I am learning a lot about the coaching profession, through running the Euro Coach List, probably the world's biggest and best interactive coaching community, attending coaching conferences, running the Bristol and Bath Coaching Chapter and running my own coaching business. This is already resulting in new insights in Coaching and how it is done, which I will feed back into the profession
