I am Not a Coach
An odd thing to say after several years of promoting myself as ‘The Freedom Coach’ – but I’m NOT a ‘Coach’
For a start I don’t have any wheels, and I don’t have any seats, I’m not pulled by horses, don’t run on a railway track and don’t have an engine or a driver.
So called ‘coaches’ were originally tutors to mid European students helping them get through their studies and exams more quickly and efficiently.
The word for what we might call a carriage or coach as in the picture is derived from variations on the word ‘kuche’ which took you to places you wanted to go quicker and the use of the word for a tutor arose from the analogy.
Well, if I’m not a ‘kuche’ what am I? I can tick a lot of meaningful boxes.
I worked for 20 years with Warwick Business School tutoring MBA students. I was briefly a schoolteacher but for around 15 years I taught and instructed around 1000 people to scuba dive.
I mentored my network marketing teams to grow their businesses and advised the clients of my printing and publishing business on how to achieve their objectives.
I’ve held leadership positions in organisations such as Liverpool University Students Union, Toastmasters, BNI, Merseyside Branch of the British Sub Aqua Club and chaired a local Parish Council.
I’ve managed teams in corporate organisations in the IT industry and been engaged with critical path analysis and consultancy in the rail industry including Railtrack, DLR and London Underground.
Evan at school I was a ‘sounding board’ – the one who would listen – for my friends.
For the last more than 60 years I’ve been doing all those things which ‘coaches’ are supposed or purported to do.
What am I?
I am a facilitator – I help you become whoever you want to be. I help you discover who you want to be.
I use the experience, knowledge and wisdom I’ve developed over this time to help you be who you want to be, do what you want to do and have what you want to have.
As a facilitator my focus is on your ‘personal freedom’ – a short form way of describing the ‘be-do-have’ you are seeking.
No longer ‘the freedom coach’ I am the ‘personal freedom facilitator’.
I have a vast array of tools techniques, knowledge and experience to support this so if you want to achieve the personal freedom you aspire to, I can help you – the ‘how’, the process we use together will become apparent during the engagement – the focus is on the outcome
There’s more to all this than is written here. Your first step is to become a member of the Academy (there’s no fee if you join before 1st October) and explore, and develop your understanding of what your freedom is and how you can make it happen. Join now using the button below
