I guess for me the issue has always been too much thinking and reflecting and not enough doing :-) I take your point too Simon.

Doing before thinking and reflecting only leads to problems unless your very fortunate. I did a seminar with Prof D Wilkinson who studies Decision making processes and he had access to the tapes that recorded the discussion on which the decision to go to war in Iraq was made, all i can say is scary that such a big decision can be made in 5 minutes.

One of the things I find valuable is that it's all about doing, and getting tangible results on a weekly basis. It's helped me shift out of my comfort zone and get a job in japan, raise several thousand pounds of funding for several upcoming projects and get back into an exercise routine. For me, just being accountable helps a great deal. Yes, it is life coaching.

Weekly phone calls at 7pm their time, midnight in Sheffield! 6 in a group. There's more detailed info on what we do in my 10th June post in my blog. Initially I was pretty sceptical, but it's been very good. I blogged about why I decided to start the course here: http://tinyurl.com/4j3csq I've been recommending this company to quite a few people. The founder, Cliff Stockamp is very perceptive - my initial hour-long trial call with him was pretty powerful. A friend of mine found the same and last week decided to invest in 6 months of 1-on-1 coaching with him, something I will probably do when I can afford it. Anyway, all the best, see you on Twitter. I follow you on Twitter :-)

And yeah, I'm definitely planning of being in touch with SENTA, Bus Link, etc. What was your 12 week course? How did you find my blog just out of interest? Thanks for stopping by, Joseph.

What was your 12 week course?

How did you find my blog just out of interest?

Definitely an expanding market too. I've been taking a 12-week coaching course - it's been incredibly powerful. All the best for the venture. Make sure you approach people like SENTA / Business link for funding too, they seem to be almost throwing it away! Sounds really exciting!
