ABOUT

Want a new job/career, more money, new relationship, let me help

Hi. I’m Gary Hall. I help the over 50s create a life less ordinary.

Are YOU fed up with the ordinary?

I was…
Are you at a stage in your life where you are fed up with what you are doing? Maybe in your job, career or a business you own? You feel a bit lost in your life journey, and you’ve been perhaps letting fate write your story instead of you.

 

I want to help you. Why? Because I get it. I’ve walked in those shoes. And let me tell you, I set myself free. And if I can do it, you can do it too.

 

 

What are YOU looking for?

Maybe it’s a new direction and challenge? Or perhaps you don’t even know what you want to do next. All you know is you want a different future to the one you’re staring at. And that’s ok too. In fact, that’s great. Because together, we can shape a vision full of possibilities.

Let me tell you about me.

I was a master craftsman and used to fit kitchens (and yes I even drove a white van!) But, after twenty-five years, I was bored, burnt out and wanted a new direction.

 

What have I learnt?

I have resilience, for one thing. I’ve picked myself up and started again and again. But, sometimes, doing the same thing repeatedly get you the same results.

 

So, I decided to change.

And at the age of 60, I decided to hang up my tool belt and change the direction of my life completely. I reinvented myself. I became a life coach

I’m not like other coaches.

As you can see, I’m not an academic and don’t come from a teaching, HR, or corporate background like many coaches do!

And let me tell you, my craftsman skills come in very handy. For example, helping my clients see an overall plan, a way forward and the bigger picture. As the saying goes, a picture is worth a thousand words. 

 

I first realised that when at seven, my parents bought me my first “Meccano” set. There were no words or instructions, only pictures of how to construct it – just like Lego is today. But I loved it because I could use my imagination and build whatever I wanted.

 

As you can guess, I don’t use unnecessary diagrams, blue sky jargon or long, meaningful words to explain something that can be summed up in one sentence or one word.

 

And that’s what my clients love about me, and I hope you will too. Also because coaching is such a personal relationship between two people, it’s really important that it feels right and we’re a good fit for each other.

 

So, If you are looking for ordinary, plenty of coaches offer that. But I’m not one of them.

It’s all about change.

And the shift I’ve had in my own life drives me to help others change – a change catalyst if you like. And I know if you do it, you’ll find the joy, happiness and excitement that’s missing in your life.

My values.

Knowing your core values helps you live your life based on what’s important to you. Understanding other people’s values allows us to know whether we’re a good fit. If you’re unsure what yours are, I can help you discover them. You can find more about them here. And here are mine to help you learn more about me:

 

  • Independence and individuality
  • Motivation and encouragement
  • Resilience and resourcefulness
  • Curiosity and innovative
  • Thoughtfulness and kindness
  • Friendliness and fairness
  • Humorous and fun

When I'm not helping others.

I moved house to live by the canal, so I walk along it most days. I’ve taken up dancing, bought a sewing machine (I love to alter clothes), I run an art class, I paint and draw, love modern art, invented things, read a lot and do silly things with my four grandchildren.

Finally, what experience do I have to help you?

Well, Other than life itself and the experiences I’ve learned along the way. 

 

I studied for three years and gained my diploma in “Personal performance coaching” with the “Coaching Academy” (which is the largest training organisation in the world) you can check them out here

 

I also gained more qualifications in NLP (Neuro-linguistic programming), DISC personality profile system (you can learn more about it here),  CPDs in Neuroscience, Confidence and Reinvention coaching. In addition, I have completed introductions to Anxiety and Addiction coaching. 

 

And I’m fully insured.
