EQ, Coaching and Burnout

Its taken me a long time to figure this one out, and it has been bullied out of me by so many individuals and institutions over so many years - but it is ALL about people. The RIGHT people that is. I have come across two amazing individuals over the last few weeks who, with the vision of the alchemism foundation will truly change the way we treat people who are in need of healing.

Maureen Hewitt is a coach trainer, an NLP master, trained in EQi and is the best trainer I have ever come across. Her energy, enthusiasm and genuine goodness is infectious and her dreams and ambitions are made in heaven.

John Broderick is a psychologist who is developing some of the most exciting enhancements to Bar On(tm) emotional intelligence on the planet and he brings with him a wealth of goodness and experience to make things on this earth better than they currently are.

When you add people like this to the mix of the faculty of the alchemism foundation and add that to its vital and supportive patrons, the mix is sure to be positive, explosive, dedicated, and filled with the right values, the right meaning and always the right intention - to help people who are less fortunate than ourselves.

I have such a feeling about this collaboration that I felt it necessary to blog it so that I can look back in a few years and remember that the tipping point for the alchemism foundation was down to these two people and myself combining our hearts and minds to make this a better world.

The book by Jim Collins "good to great" speaks about the lessons that great companies in the USA have learned that they used to make them truly great and the first one is to know what your passion is - in this context, Maureen, John and I share the same passion. And Collins goes on to say "get the right people on the bus - get the wrong people off the bus and then decide where the bus is going".

That is precisely what we now intend to do - and this bus journey will be so enjoyable that it seems hardly fair to have so much peace, joy and energy in the collaboration.

But in my heart of hearts I know that the universe was made for us to be happy and it is our birth right to sense this peace. Sadly, we are all responsible for our own sadness, but that means we are responsible for our own happiness too and in this light - I am the happiest man on earth.
