 Tuumble 'tunes in!' Hi everyone, My name is Jeremy though I'm known by the moniker Tuumble on one or three forums across web. I'm a graphic designer / marketer from the UK is keen on personal development but who has had a tricky time of late of getting the concepts to stick...but I'm working on it!  Curiously, despite this I have actually been doing a smattering of life coaching and this something I enjoy a great deal. I attended a one-day coaches training course and the basic methods taught to me then have served me well so far. My goal is to take the full training programme and gain my diploma, not for the qualification as such, but to be a more effective coach. As much as I enjoy design and marketing I've been doing it for nearly 20 years and it's time to do something new. I'm not going to be sat in an office all day staring at a computer screen....hey, hang on...  Anyway, I'm looking forward to getting to know you all - quite a challenge with 60k members - and being a part of this great community. Best wishes, Tuumble P.S. If there are any UK members who are interested in forming a group where we can meet and swap ideas and discuss personal development - we are all smart people afterall - drop me a line.      |

Y'know, the 'me and personal coaching' thing is something that is quite challenging to accept at times. None of us are perfect as we know but I sometimes find I'm better talking about something than the actual doing myself. It's talking a good game rather than follow through personally on the messages I convey. However, I know I CAN coach because I have unsolicited feedback proving it. People have come to me asking for help and I have been able to help them because they've told me I have. No prompting, they just tell me. I find that immensely rewarding but puzzling at the same time. What is it about me that people can connect with? It is my goal to make my living in this area but with my personal life being far from a bed of roses I almost feel a fraud! What would boost my confidence and help me make the breakthrough would be get my first paying client. To date I do coaching for friends, colleagues and with on-line acquaintances usually via messaging services. This has proved successful because the people concerned can read back the points discussed and have a record to refer back to. Unless I invest in recording software I cannot do this with a phone call. It's early days for me but just FEELING I'm making a difference in some small way to others puts a smile on my face and let's face it, that's a reward to cherish.
