So, I'm out here on day one of the Transformational Trek, just on a bit of a recce, and as I've been walking along, it's just really made me reflect on my own journey to get to where I am So I used to work in banking, in HR, in a big bank and just found that over the years, I got a bit fed up with it – I was getting quite stressed and the workload got a little bit too much, and I just found that I really wasn't enjoying it
I mean the work was fine, but it maybe didn't use all of my skill set, and it got to the point where I could either do a good job of half of my job and do really well, or I could do a, kind of, rubbish job of all of my job by not really putting the time and effort into anything because there was just too much to do So with that in mind, and after a period of getting quite stressed, I decided to quit and to start my own business and what was really important to me was to find some things that I was really passionate about One of my real passions in life is the outdoors, whether that's mountains or just being out in nature in general, I just think it gives me such a good feeling and I just would I love sharing that feeling with other people And then helping people is my other passion in life, so to me, it's really important to bring some things that I was passionate about into my business and, kind of, join the two things together and that's how I ended up doing what I do – walking and coaching in the outdoors So, yeah, I justfor anyone that's on a similar kind of journey, maybe a bit of disillusion with their job, or maybe facing redundancy and just at that point in their life where they want to look at their next steps and the options open to them, I would really, really encourage you just to spend some time thinking about – what is really important to you? What things are you really passionate about? And how can you build them into a job or a career or a business? It doesn't have to be working for yourself – it could be finding that dream job that really fulfills you in every way and enables you to do those things that you're passionate about on a day-to-day basis So one of the things that we look at on the trek is your personal values – so looking at what is really important to you and how you can fulfill that in whichever job or career path you decide to take So if that's something you think would be useful, give me a call, then we can have a chat about whether there's a place for you on the trek Thanks
