@Ed JC Smith Hi Ed, following on from the conversation in the chat during the Accelerator session last night, please would you consider changing the format so that questions are at the end instead of at the beginning? Some of us have children to feed and attend to and others have other commitments. I love the sessions and the questions are interesting but I'd love to be able to focus on your teaching, scripts and practical experience of peer coaching during the sessions and listen to any questions at the end if I have time. If I don't have time for the questions at the end during the session then I could watch them on replay. However, if I miss the practical experience then I can't make that up later on replay and one of the things I love is that we get to hear you sharing your expertise in real-time rather than on a recording. I also think that as new people come into the group, if there are questions at the beginning then they assume that's the format and more and more people will ask questions at the start. There are quite a few people in the Accelerator in a similar position to me who I think would also prefer things this way round. We're all very committed, we just have practical realities and matters of other areas of our lives to deal with too. 1 hr 30 mins is about the max I can commit to being in the Tuesday sessions. Thank you ☺️

I'm very excited, I just signed a new client for ongoing one-on-one coaching and healing. She needs it, she is in a bad way, I am glad we connected. I'm supporting her to safely leave a very abusive man and recover her self-worth after a literal lifetime of abuse.

I did it! i drove the 2.5 hours to see my dad... i was crying just about the whole way there.... i was crying because i realized that all the pain and suffering that i had spent the past 8 months in was all because of a lie that i was holding onto....and that it was all about to change and that what i truly wanted in my life was so accessible if only i was willing to do the work and be honest with myself.... When I shared the letter with my dad it went so smoothly and perfectly it was truly magical..... i got to my parents house at about 9pm and everybody was surprised to see me, my girlfriend and my daughter.... my brother, sister and mother started playing with my daughter and my dad was sitting on the couch looking at his phone like he usually was at that time.... as it had been for the past 8 months, we didn't greet one another or make any eye contact.... i had the letter in my pocket and i pulled it out and was just holding it.... nervous and just waiting for the right moment.... after about seven minutes or so of talking with my brother, sister and mother.... my mom could see that i was still holding onto this piece of paper and kind of staring at it so she says "what's the paper for?" i say timidly its a letter i wrote for dad.... she looks at my dad and tells him i wrote something for him.... he looks up from his phone for the first time and says "you wrote something for me?" i move over in front of him and say "yeah i've been doing some therapy and i wrote you this letter" he says "therapy? like marriage counseling?" i say "yeah something like that" and then proceed to read him my letter: Dad, I have been lying that you are the bad guy in my life and that you don’t love me and that you want to hold me back in my life and that you want to see me fail. When the truth is that I have been ungrateful for everything you have done for me such as choosing to adopt me, raising me, taking care of me, and providing for me my whole life. The truth is that the strength that I have today is because of you. All the good things that I have in my life are because of you. And the truth is that I love you and the truth is that you love me more than I know.
