From
The
Remnants.....
Recently I have been spending a lot of time trying to define (and redefine) what I do for clients and how the whole process works.
As a result of this I arrived at a place that was (to say the least) rather depressing.
I have undergone several years of study and have attended several courses / seminars to obtain my qualifications (Life Coach; Music Therapist; Crystal Therapist and Reiki Master) and I am currently working towards a Diploma in Mindfulness and yet in these recent years I am rarely called upon to use them in a client / therapist situation.
Whilst all the work in a professional capacity is as a senior manager I have never styled myself as a business or career coach because I do not hold the appropriate qualifications in either of those disciplines. Therefore I have always styled myself as a Personal Development Consultant but lately I have been asking myself what the hell does that actually mean? What IS personal development anyway?
I suppose it could be said that I help clients to develop there own personal identity and gain some amount of self control and direction skills along the way. I can assist with Goal Setting, Stress Reduction and Life Mapping all of which go some way to helping clients become more confident versions of themselves. I can also help with exam nerves and relaxation.
But I ask myself - is this really the sum total of what being a PDC is all about? Recently I have been feeling pretty disillusioned by it all, I feel that something is not as it should be!
So that said I decided to begin a meditation group and the first session attracted a number of people. These sessions ran successfully for three months and then the venue had to close because of flooding. When the location became available for use again only 2 returned and the decision was taken to close the group down because it was costing me money each month.
I devised a course entitled "Take Off The Mask and Be Yourself" that has been successfully delivered on a couple of occasions and presently I am working on a follow-up that is called "The Mask of Masculinity" however I am want to present it it in a new and more 21st Century way.
While all of the history may at first appear quite depressing I feel that it has been necessary to bring me to where I am now and as a result it has made me more determined than ever to move boldly forwards. I have to say that I am very excited about this new direction. Whilst I still firmly believe that coaching / meditation and healing, together with other alternative therapies do have a place in 21st Century life there are other ways that can be utilised to bring about change.
A new workbook is currently underway and that will be somewhat different from the earlier versions
I am writing new course material and getting to grips with the new tech. that I will be using for online delivery.
I refuse to be beaten!
This project has now become a burning desire and bears the catch phrase:-
"If I can't do it local, I will do it global!"
