To set some context, Kingfisher Coaching (which is me) does three main things:
- Runs in-house courses and workshops for companies, of which the flagship is the 2-day ‘coaching for peak performance in yourself and others’
- Works with teams to help them become high-performing
- Provides 1:1 coaching (to a wide mix including CEO’s, senior people, high-performers, poor performers, and a limited number of private clients)
So, my focus of blogging & tweeting is on subjects that support people, teams, and organisations to be peak performers:
- Coaching & Mentoring
- Positive Psychology
- Goals (setting them and achieving them)
- Resilience (how to survive and bounce back from the less-than-perfect times)
- Doing the right work (playing to strengths)
- Teamwork
- Innovation & Entrepreneurship
- Using time effectively
- Procrastination
- Helping others & being helped (through support networks)
- Making changes and making them stick
- Feedback as one of the keys to peak performance
However, I am a person as well as a business so I will tweet about other things (especially after 6pm & at weekends):
- Motorsport (I love F1 and motorbikes)
- Social Media (I’m a very social person and I really enjoy using social media)
- Really good stuff on TV (like Spooks, and definitely not like X Factor)
- Gadgets and technology
- My puppy (who takes a lot of my time, so sometimes gets tweeted about)
- Coffee (an obsession)
- I’m likely to tweet every time I see a Kingfisher as I find them inspiring (and inspired my business name)
- Awesome charities like Retrak (after I spent a month in Uganda last year and was privileged to go into the slums and talk to street kids)
I don’t think I’m a completely open book on Twitter, and there are some things that I tend to save for Facebook:
- My wife and step-kids
- My faith (I’m a Christian and a lay minister (Reader) in the Church of England)
- Football: As a passionate Liverpool supporter who lives in Manchester, there are times when I keep quiet!
So, that’s me.
