Mr & Miss SC
So you’ve had an incredible career so far. What would you say has been your biggest achievement? Ahh that’s a good question. I think my biggest achievement which might sound a bit crazy to people but probably understanding Clare. That might sound really bizarre but do we really understand ourselves? Do we understand our behaviour and our actions? Why people act in certain ways, and believe certain things about ourselves. Do you know for me it was a continuous journey I mean I develop myself constantly as I got coached at major parts in my life so I practise what I preach I just think understanding you and taking control of your mind was probably one of the most talented things I’ve ever done. The second I did it everything in my life suddenly changed so I think the biggest achievement for me is believing in me, realising that I was good enough and just going out there and saying do you know what world here I am. If you had a movie based around your whole life who would you want to play you? Hmm I suppose Drew Barrymore actually because in a lot of ways I just really relate to her I just look at the life she had I find it really interesting like a really eccentric person, And I just think she’ll be really great to have a drink with. haha!
If you were to give someone advice about to becoming a coach themselves what advice would you give them? Make sure coaching is for you. It’s about doing what you love. One of the things I learnt when working in the financal servicing industry, was making sure your clients enjoy what you do. & 95% of them will say no I hate it. I’m a brummie with a very very dry humour and very sarcastic as you know a lot of brummies are. I’ll sit there and say right have you got a gun to your head? To which they would go what are you talking about? You’ve told me you hate it. there is no gun to your head then why are you doing it? I think for anybody that wants to make a career out of as a coach first of all you’ve got to have a real passion for something. As you’re there as their support mechanism you’re there if they want you basically someone to hold their hand help them move forward, so my advice could be. do it because you want to do it. Do it because you love people.
