Sometimes it just takes a different perspective to completely transform.
If you’ve ever written an ‘about me’ you’ll know where the delete key lives on the keyboard! What can I say that people will want to read? Will it be interesting and help my business? Can I be vulnerable and convincing at the same time?
The first thing to say is that I’ve been blessed with a great corporate career, holding board of management roles at the UKs leading captive automotive bank. But I didn’t start out that way, leaving school at 15 with very few qualifications and diving into work as a labourer. All I really cared about in those days was earning a few quid to have fun at the weekend.
So what changed?
Well, even then I was curious about possibility, but I noticed that not everyone shared that curiosity. So I started calling out the things that I saw could be improved, clumsily at first, but with more skill as I learned. I didn’t have a detailed plan for every step of my career, but I stayed curious, was open to possibility and took my chances as I went.
During all of this, I kept some secrets.
In summary I could see things differently, know what’s important and get straight to the heart of putting it right.
This gave me great success at work, but it came at a price. I didn’t have the ‘foundations’ to be a leader, I’d done it a different way and sometimes I found it hard to cope. I had the technical tools, but not always the emotional ones. I was lucky, working with some great managers who helped invested in me to help me develop those capabilities. I had some great coaches, attended fantastic development programmes and even qualified professionally as a coach myself.
A great partner, two kids and two dogs played a huge part too!
And today? Well, Possibility Squared brings it all together and lets me do the work I was born to do. Use my curiosity, instinct and the lessons I’ve learned, to help other people see what’s possible for them.
