Is this it?

Whatever we do in life we probably all have that moment when we ask, “Is this it?”

My “moment” came in March this year.

During a stay at a Health Retreat in Thailand I met with a Coach for what I thought was a session to discuss nutrition, we did not talk about a single carb, fat or protein. It was by talking to her that I realized that I wanted more from my life, I wanted to be healthier (and yes thinner) and more challenged within my career.

After 20 years in the recruitment industry, which started with 8 years at Computer Futures, I was running my own successful in-house recruitment business which gave me the money and flexibility to live the life I wanted, however it also put me firmly in my comfort zone.

It was time to make a change!

The first thing I did was to reframe the recruitment services I provide to move away from hands on delivery to a coaching role where I use my wealth of experience to teach companies the best way to recruit. I am loving every minute of the variety of each day.

So that answered the career bit, but what about the health? I made major lifestyle changes that have resulted in significant weight loss and a new-found energy. This got me thinking, how can I turn my passion for health and wellbeing into a career?

Lightbulb moment, I would train to become a Health Coach.

What does that mean? I support and guide people over a 3 - 6 month period to become the best versions of themselves.

I meet with them once a week in person or on the phone and we look at 12 key areas of their life, help them to understand where they are today, identify where they would like to be in the future and why, then support them to achieve their ultimate goals. Most importantly, I listen.

Yes, we talk about food and if weight loss is a goal of yours then together we can achieve that. However so often it is the other aspects of life that cause you stress and unhappiness without you even necessarily realizing. By bringing balance to your life, less illness, better sleep, more joy you will be even more successful at work and happier at home.

If you are asking yourself “Is this it?” and you do not want 2019 to look the same as 2018 get in touch and invest in the best Christmas present you could buy yourself, a long, healthy and happy life.
