Someone said to me back in July, "you shouldn't mix your personal life with your business."
I replied "my personal life is my business!"
Pun intended.
I've always worn my heart on my sleeve. Engaged with others. Tried to do what I can for others. Especially as a coach. It's the most fundamental part of the coaching process, enabling growth through effective dialogue and practice.
Life taught me this, nothing else.
Clients will sit or speak with me and pour their souls out, as I engage with them and help them to overcome debilitating ailments, manage their life/lifestyles better, or simply up their ante, in order to train optimally for their health and performance. I counsel clients just as I've received counselling myself.
My life is my way of life.
It's who I am.
I know no different.
I wouldn't have it any other way.
Ever.
Anyone who's ever met my girls will tell you that they are the same. They epitomise me, my values, and my approach to life. Driven. Joyful. Loving. Caring. Speaking their minds always. Foundations that hopefully now can't be broken by life in future.
If you want to know what someone is truly like, then meet their children.
I said right back before my first child was born, that if they turned into a little sh*t (or a big sh*t depending how you look at it) then that would be on me. My responsibility.
Some things, however, are out of our control. Maybe out of our capacity, influence, or ability to handle. So we need to reach out. We need to talk. We need to express ourselves.
So, if anyone ever tells you to keep your stuff to yourself, or not to mix it in work, tell them that Al Hadnett said and has always proven otherwise.
Health is Wealth.
Train Smart, be Awesome!
