I received this message via LinkedIn last week. 

"I've been following with interest your Inspiring Dads work. It has been niggling me for a long time now, and I find myself working away from home in a sadly average job and then feeling like a bit of a spare part at the weekend. I am monumentally unable to discuss any of this with anyone and, quite simply, I need some help." 

To massacre a famous quote "every journey begins with a single step" and I know it takes courage and determination to reach out to someone for help.

Early interventions in the form of coaching, mentoring and dad to dad community initiatives have the power to transform the experience of working dads and that can only be a good thing for everyone.

But it can be hard to take that first step. in the video below the Music Football Fatherhood team discuss mental health in another of their #Daddydebates.

It's a valuable 20 mins discussion about the need for dads to access support but also the barriers to engaging with mental health and well being support.

It's well worth a watch.

It's always a pleasure to know the impact you have had on your client's lives... 

I've been going back through my testimonials and sifting for gold and this nugget from Dan stuck me as important. 

"the way I approach many aspects in my work life" 

Coaching is never just about the desired outcome. Dan wanted a new job and we worked together to achieve that goal, but the impact of coaching went beyond that into broader behavioural change, the type of change that stays with you long after the new job honeymoon is over. 

You can read what he said below:

Whether you need help with work life balance, getting a new job or just understanding how best to focus your energy and drive then I can help you.
