About

I am proud to say that I trained with the Coaching Academy back in 2006 and passed my Diploma with distinction! So now read on to find out a bit more about me, and allow me to explain why you should hire me as your Coach:

A little bit about me...

Hello and welcome to BJA Coaching
Although I have only had the title for the last 16 years (as of 2022), I have been a motivational coach in one form or another for many, many years - allowing me to offer you a wealth of experience in many situations.

 

3 steps to perfection
I am dedicated not only as a great Professional Coach, but also in building my practice out of sheer results. I deliver nothing other than a premium service to you. This id done in three simple steps:
Step 1
I am passionate about what I do in every aspect of my job. I need you, the client, to be excited about change and about what we are doing. My passion give me the drive to deliver this all the time, every time.
Step 2
You should be renewed after each coaching session, to enthuse yourself and others. My reputation as a great coach and a caring person is gathering momentum as time goes on, just check out the testimonials.
Step 3
All my clients come from this website or referrals from customers who are happy to suggest me, and not from any hard advertising. This in itself speaks volumes to who I am and what I do.
Hiring for results
So when you hire me you will most certainly get the results you seek. I will take you forward, get those results and place you where it is you want to be or go.
 
These results will ultimately be brought out of you by me as a dedicated and powerful coach that I am. I do this in a way that will give you self awareness and confidence to take away with you - something that money alone will never give you. Coaching of course has its price but Coaching is priceless! Just read my testimonials if you require any more evidence of my abilities as a Coach.
About myself
I am 49 years of age, been married, divorced, now single with one Daughter of 29 and a Grandson of 7.I have had a very varied and colourful life some would say, and from an early age started to experience many sad and unhappy situations
I have experienced many issues that will be more important to some clients than others. As strange as all this may sound to those that have been fortunate enough not to of suffered similar, I can tell you that it has helped shape my values and understand the needs of others in a way that only actual experiences could have done.
Walk the talk
If you want to know some of them then look at "walk the talk" - although recently I have removed a large section of it due to some of the facts contained with in it, were a little harrowing for some (I can e-mail the removed section at your request)
Talking from experience
"Most of the time the bullies and bullying takes place in many different forms, some times people either get bullied or bully others with out even realising they are doing so, never the less it has the same affect as the ones that do it with intention."
 
I learnt to stand up for myself and since then, I have always done the same for other people that were less confident than me, yes I was the one that would stick his nose in when others were too afraid for one reason or another.

I can tell you that due to being bullied my self at an early age, going to 14 different schools, and having a rough upbringing has had a big impact on my values, beliefs, and also on me as an individual.
Using my experience
These issue above are the very reasons for what and who I am today. I have become more loving, caring, and a compassionate individual because of what life has dished out to me. I want to inspire and give hope to all those other individuals that think they are trapped in their lives, and think there's no way out.
On the other hand you may just want my Coaching because you know or feel I can do the job. This has indeed enabled me to transform into this loving, caring responsible individual who knows what life is about from the sharp end.
I am very much against bullying and my next step is to be involved in this very issue and help both bully and victim. So now that I am a qualified professional coach who passed with distinction, I want to have a thriving practice. I have both experience of life and also the academic qualification to enhance my already proven qualifications.
Turn to me
Generally I've been the one that friends/colleagues/family come to when they have a problem. I have been able to help them in a way that others could not - which I attribute to my honest approach, ability to communicate, or the answers I was able to give. Maybe it’s been down to my values, beliefs or philosophy? I don’t know which but they have always told me how helpful I had been, or what a great listener I was.
Always been a coach
You see I have been a coach in a roundabout way for many years. The-Coaching-Academy has just helped me to see what it is that I really want to do in my life and the best way to go about offering it you.

You made me open my eyes, just saying the things clearly, just making me to understand the reality of the situation, and it was much easier to take a decision...
