How to Start Talking
Presenter: Rob Stewart, professional coach
Quite often men can face what professional coach, Rob Stewart, calls a ’Smoky mess’ which is blocking the view of the life they want to lead, and it’s getting harder to ignore it. They are not sure what this smoky mess is made of, why it’s blocking them or how to affect it, and so men can feel despondent and low. In this coaching session, Rob helps us to step back, get a wider view of our life, and find ways to start talking that empower us.
