BIO

My upbringing was marked by challenges, growing up in a working-class family, residing in council estates, and attending state schools. The majority of my childhood was spent in foster care and children's homes, and I departed from school without any A levels, O levels, or GCSE qualifications. Yet, despite these hurdles, I persevered.

Here's the thing. Most of my youth felt like I was living on a roller coaster with ups and downs while holding onto limiting beliefs. I remember one lunchtime when, in secondary school, I excitedly shared with a friend of my future wanting to go into nursing. After returning to a class to have this man, a teacher who had overheard the conversation called me out of a lesson to berate me with an angered tone of voice. He told me that he worked in a psychiatric hospital as a volunteer and then asked who was I to think I had the right or in any way good enough to be a male nurse. It would never happen. I was left feeling shaken and pretty low after that encounter.

In my youth, or so I thought, feelings just happened to you. Somehow, when doing challenging days, I would tell myself things would get better or needed something good to happen to feel happier without knowing how to do it to have any hope of change while maybe still feeling crap. The more I would tell myself not to think about something negative or depressed, the more overwhelmed and depressed I got while feeling stuck in a deep dark hole, struggling to find a way out of that darkness. It took me some months and help with cognitive behavioural therapy to understand and realise I was doing those feelings and creating those limiting beliefs. When I started paying attention to the sounds, emotions, and images when imagining, I had the exciting life I wanted. I then knew that I could change my thinking behaviour and outcomes when not focusing on what wasn't working while focusing on solutions instead. What knowledge and experience would need to be added to my life to have a positive impact and growth? I took myself off to college to learn English and math to challenge myself to do more exciting things while asking myself what I truly wanted, mixed in with some fantastic movies playing inside my head. Asking good questions opens up possibilities that create more choices and opportunities.

Years later, I entered a mature student university program to pass HE Higher Education and earn a place to study BSc Psychology. That blew my mind and changed the course of my life. And that all came about one day when I spoke to a lady at The University of Central Lancashire in Preston, making some enquiries over the phone. She did something so powerful by asking me a simple question. And she said, "Chris, what do you want to do?"

Life experiences, learning, and NLP have taught me to ask good questions. What do you want? That question invited me to go inside and explore, opened up more possibilities, and led me to go to University by asking myself what I wanted. You see, often in life, there are things we think we want, only to discover that we never wanted those things in the first place. Sometimes, it takes asking ourselves what we truly want to do so that the possibilities offer themselves up where we may discover something else just as exciting and what brings us more drive and passion instead. And here I am, filled with more wonderment, drive and passion for doing what I love.

Having discovered, by chance, NLP through some self-help books, further research and my own life's challenges all those years ago, I was driven with a passion and goal to become a life coach and to help others who were struggling with a lack of confidence and limiting beliefs that would have them living in an unresourceful way to destroying them, or just wanting to have a better quality of life. For years, I dreamed of the possibility and tried to find ways to pay for some costly NLP training, and I had even considered taking out a loan. I imagined meeting the man in person, Richard Bandler, co-founder of NLP. Whenever he'd listen, I would excitedly tell one of my brothers what I wanted to do. Despite the financial obstacles, I kept on imagining and seeing myself as maybe like Richard and many other NLP life coaches in front of an audience on a big stage or giving someone some coaching with NLP and transforming their lives in some unique way. My brother was the one person who would help me to fulfil my dream of becoming that life coach and agent of change by offering to pay for my NLP training in Woking, Surrey, in September 2018. He said he'd heard enough whenever I told him I wanted to train as an NLP practitioner. It was now time for me to reach that goal. And boy, it was a unique, exhilarating, and life-changing learning experience. 

Oh, and by the way, years later, after leaving school before earning a place to study at University and the extraordinary life-transforming training in NLP, despite that teacher dragging me out of class to tell me I would never do it, I did become a male nurse for some years and went on to live my dreams and do many extraordinary things.

Never underestimate your worth. There may be times when you doubt yourself or think you're not good enough. That's perfectly normal, and it's all part of learning and being human.

Open up other choices and possibilities with an openness to challenge your beliefs and values. And ask yourself, "What is it that I really want? Challenge what you think. Because while you're putting off waiting for things to get better or the right time, there are people in this world doing and living their dreams who have started life with less talent than you. And if ever anyone tells you you don't have the right to follow your passions and dreams, tells you, "It'll never happen," "You're not good enough," or maybe laughs in your face to ridicule you, remember a time when a person lied to you, and how that felt. Then, use your imagination creatively as you see yourself in the future and how you want to be.
