Surfacing After 16 Months At The Coalface

Coalface definition – “Doing the work involved in a job, in real working conditions, rather than planning or talking about it: At the Coalface with a deadline looming, you sometimes feel under a lot of pressure. (Definition of “at the Coalface” from the Cambridge Advanced Learner’s Dictionary & Thesaurus © Cambridge University Press)”

My day job of coaching, speaking and writing has included working at the following Coalface projects over the last 16 months;

• DOL Strategies
• E1 Visa Renewal – “The E-1 treaty trader visa is a nonimmigrant visa which allows foreign nationals of a treaty nation to enter into the U.S. and carry out substantial trade. A treaty trader belongs to a nation that maintains a treaty of commerce and navigation or a bilateral agreement with the U.S.”
• NAIFA Membership Sales System Creative Contributions
• Revenue Canada Arbitrary Assessment & Appeal
• USA Tax Filing
• TEDx Talk Writing & Delivery

With the above list nearing completion, I’m appreciating our team of 14 associates that continues to grow Leading Advisor and the service we provide.

Before the next summit which is to upgrade our CRM System, I took some time on the plateau before the climb.

When you have had enough of facing business and personal challenges on your own, would it not make sense to hire a business and personal coach that is not only book-learned, but is also a success at real working conditions… a business and personal coach that can work with you at the Coalface to chip away at the darkness until it bleeds daylight.

Thank you Chris Barrow for the inspiration for this blog.
