My new Role as a Life Coach!



Hi All,

Well well, It's been a long seven months (for me anyhow) but I finally got to the end of my Diploma Course in Executive and Life Coaching, and got my Diploma. Wow! It was a lot of work I can tell you. I started out last March, and I can assure you there were times when I just wanted to quit, but I know that is not the answer to anything. Long evenings studying, researching, planning and completing assignments...early morning corrections and just making deadlines. But hey, it's all behind me now and I can relax knowing I have achieved what I set out to achieve. But what exactly did I want to achieve I hear you say. Well, let me see if I can explain here.

I have been facilitating recreational drumming workshops now for over 20 years. I have had a great time doing this, and enjoyed every moment of it. However, some time ago I started to get the feeling that there was more I needed from this work. I was giving people a good relaxed time, teaching them how to be creative with a drum, and also improving their awareness of Rhythm...which is my passion, but I knew deep inside that there was more I wanted to give...but what was it? After a lot of soul searching I made an enormous discovery. I discovered that what I really wanted to do with my life was to help people...more specifically, help them to be the best version of themselves. Help them believe in themselves more, help them reach goals and heights they never thought possible. Help them to come out of their comfort zones and stand tall in the face of this world. Help them transform from people who hold back, to people who press forward constantly.

I also realised that all of us (without exception) need some help from time to time...help from other people to support us in our attempts to be the person we know we can be. We cannot do it alone. But where do we go for help? What kind of help is out there? Well, in my search I found many types of help from teachers, tutors and facilitators to mentors, consultants and coaches. On examining what area of help I wanted to provide, I decided that coaching was the way for me to go. Coaching ticked all the boxes. My absolute passion is to help people to believe they can live the life of their dreams. To assist people in digging deep into their hearts and souls to find solutions to breaking through obstacles and barriers that they feel is holding them back from a life of excitement, adventure and self-discovery. Yes, coaching was for me...this was the missing link I needed to complete my goal, which is to show to people that abundance is not just for the "elite" it's for all of us...we just need to discover what our "abundance" is, get some help...and go for it.

So, let me share my plan with you. My plan is to combine my two disciplines together to form a programme of courses, workshops, seminars and retreats aimed at Empowering, Energising, Supporting, Encouraging, Inspiring and Coaching people in the art of Personal Growth and progress...Personally and Professionally. That's it! I will use my Drumming skills to empower and energise my clients, and facilitate their journey to "Rhythm Connection" which I believe is the basic foundation needed to undertake any personal growth endeavour. This will be done during group Empowering drumming workshops/sessions, that will also include discussions, exercises, weekly assignments and undertakings aimed at progressing your journey to success. Between these weekly workshops each client will have a private coaching session with me (one per week) via Skype or phone.  There are also plans for some residential weekends in the new year.

That's it my friends. Over the next few weeks and months I will inform interested people through social media outlets (and my web-site which is almost ready to hit the cyber world) about any upcoming courses, workshops, seminars or other programmes. It's gonna be exciting times guys, so if you want to start a transformation in your life and fancy joining the "Circle of Empowerment" stay tuned to my blog and other social media outlets for all current information. That's it for now from your newly qualified Professional Executive and Life Coach. I'm so looking forward to the future, and my new line of work. Thanks for reading.

God bless,

Eddie.
