A thousand miles an hour!

This is Eric Cantona, footballer, actor and apparently philisopher as well. I just liked it.... humour me eh......

I am so busy....everything flying at 1000 mph..... there are so many trawlers, so many sardines and I am only one little seagull... trying to chase them all.

Business is wonderful....... and getting better all the time....I am going to the All-Ireland final on Sunday and hugely looking forward to that...... Have a full day of meetings on Monday.....same on Tuesday....working in Dublin on Wed and Thursday..... draw breath a bit on Friday.

Still need a person friday to help me out....have completed a job specification.... now I have to start seriously looking!

Like all the organisational things in my life....I will get it done next week! That and the final accounts, and the brochures and ...

Kaizen - A little improvement everyday - That will do me.

Cheers

The New Tool

This new "Insights" tool I am using is pretty amazing, It is unquestionably the best personality profiling tool I have seen, from an accuracy point of view, but also because it is colour based it is easy for people to remember what preferences they use....the myers briggs one has you wordering am I an EFPN or an ENIG or what the hell am I.

I can see this helping big time in my business, now it is totally up to me to use it or lose

Back again

Hello, it has been yonks since I last updated this blog, lots has happened and I have been a very busy boy, the biggest thing I have completed in the last while is the accreditation for delivering the "Insights" pyschometric model into my coaching work.

You can find out more about Insights by visiting thier website at www.insights.com what I get from this is an excellent personality profiling tool that i can use to help people become more aware of themselves and thier behaviours, more aware of where others are coming from and finally techniques that will allow them (and me) to adapt and connect much better with others (customers, staff, colleagues, spouses, children, subjects etc)

I intend to use this in several spheres, but the primary interest at the moment is in Business, working with managers and salespeople, and in politics, working with councillers and TDs to help them improve thier communication skills.

On the personal front the form is pretty good, business is strong but I still have self-doubt at times about my ability to carry this whole thing off. Still I know I am coming "from the right place" and am sure that it will all work out to my expectations.

anyway...... will try to make the ten minutes it takes to update this blog a bit more in the future!

Need a Genius

Sorry Its been so long, and I aint got a load of time now either, just wanted to say let people know I am still alive, and that I am certain now that in the long term I have to find a person I can work with who can "organise my life".

There are things I do exceptionally well (the humility of it all) I can speak, coach, present, write and conduct workshops and courses with the best of them.

There are also things I am not very good at, I have trouble with Organisation and Discipline, I spend far too much of my time and energy doing things I am not enjoying doing, following up campaigns on the phone, setting up meetings, organising hotels, trying to sort out accounts, selling courses to individuals, printing brochures, etc etc etc.

In order to have a business that "flows" I need to be able to do the things that I do best (and love doing) and have someone who loves doing the other stuff, who takes pride in it and enjoys it.

I will have to keep my eyes open.
