This week I made huge decisions, 2 in fact. But I can't share either of them just yet.
I suppose the truth is that I really have had enough of working for managers with so few people management skills, as much as I wanted this all to balance and work properly.
But for WW to pay my mortgage, I have a lot to do. And I am going to do it.
I love coaching people and I know coaching is effective and can change a life...though I still cringe when people say that what I do is Life Coaching. And you all know that I am looking to widen that and get into working with people who suffer. People who week in, week out go to work wanting so hard to deliver, so hard to contribute but their managers don't have a clue.
I sat in bed the other night tracing my work history. Thinking through the poor manager I have had who have inspired me...usually to leave and find a new job. I also thought of the good managers, like the Sgt in the police who encouraged me to take my exam despite my misgivings (and I passed) and the area mgr in the pub trade who let me manage. LET THEM MANAGE... that's what you employed them for and that's what you pay them for...and if they can't then I can share how.
Exciting times folks.
Happy Feb everyone. x
