Welcome to 'What is the Balance' and thank you for your interest in Life Coaching.
Allow me to introduce myself. My name is John Barnes (not the famous footballer)
and this is a brief history of how I came to be a Life Coach and why I am
passionate about working with people who want change in their lives.
For fifteen years I have been a Lighting Technician and Designer, working
on shows all over the world, for a very diverse group of clients.
It has been a great life experience that has given me many skills that
I now bring to Coaching including - Motivation, Achieving Goals, Creative
Solutions, Managing Stressful Situations, Team Work and the
Importance of a good sense of humour.
A few years ago I started looking for a new challenge and so began training for a new life direction that
would build on the 'life skills' gained on the road. I studied 'Person Centred Counselling',
'Empathic Listening', 'Emotional Therapy' and 'Personal Empowerment Coaching'.
During this time I put my new knowledge to work by volunteering for the 'Samaritans'.
It was there that I became sure I wanted to work with people to help them overcome their past difficulties
and create a fulfilling and Balanced future.
If you would like to work with me for Personal Empowerment or Business Development then it would be
my pleasure to hear from you.
