Curious what got you started?

So, I'm new around here and new to facilitation....

Im not going to lie, I have no background in this or in cooperate. I'm a firefighter here in England.

So what am I doing here I hear you ask, well I saw this ad from this crazy guy Jonathan and he got me just at the right time....

You see I've been looking for a new career, a change in direction, you know something where I'm not risking my health by going into a burning building or climbing a tree with a chainsaw or throwing myself down an off-piste ski run.

I have been on my own personal growth journey now for about 5 or 6 years, in truth it really started when I became a dad 8 years ago but my desire to help others has taken many strange turns and I've been down a few roads and blind alleys in my time and then I came across this group of folk called facilitators or "workshoppers" who say you don't need to have all the answers but instead need to be the guide.

WOW! Now that sounds interesting, not only that but if you can become good or even great then the money can be a little better than the pat on the back for risking your life!

Now, I know I can learn new skills and I love meeting people and finding out about their worlds, you know, that energy that sparks in people when your conversation brings something out of them that really fires them up. I guess you could call it tapping into their life force or something spiritual like that.

Time to stop being the hero and to start being the guide?

So look there's a little snippet about me, but I'm curious, what's your story? What brought you here to this space known as the Facilitators club?
