Hi all,
I've not long found this forum and it looks great, so before I get carried away with posting I guess I should introduce myself. I used to be a marketing/business manager before I was made redundant earlier this year. I then set about trying to work out my life purpose having become disillusioned with the whole working-for-someone-else thing....in fact..working-damn-hard-for-someone-else-and-not-getting-the-reward thing!! I also felt that in my role I was essentially trying to get people to buy more stuff (beauty & personal care products). I also found that constantly striving to help the Asdas, Tescos & Boots of this world to get more share than each other was actually a bit shallow (took me a while, I know!). So I've taken the summer off to find my path in life and it's been a great journey. I've been through god knows how many business ideas, done a lot of soul searching, been to interviews that don't really inspire me and I think I'm getting there. I decided to do an intro coaching course and that REALLY inspired me. So much so that I'm now studdying for a qualification in both Business Coaching and Personal Performance Coaching. It's brilliant, because an integral part of this is to coach yourself first!! Well, everybody would benefit from having a coach, me included!!
So, that's where I am for now. I am also very keen to draw on my 10 years of marketing/business, retail & product development experience and maybe offer business/marketing type consultancy services too. I'm still trying to finalise that bit! I still do have business ideas that i work through and do research for and I think I'm going to have to scratch that itch at some point! We'll see. So, what can you expect from me here? Well, any advice/suggestions/2-pennies on any of the above I guess. In the meantime, if you have any ideas that you may want to suggest, I would love to hear them! Until then, Happy Times!!
