Looking for a handlebar bag, all volumes considered! Bristol/West Midlands or I'll pay for postage. Please dm/reply with a pic of it.

I guess career advisors are still a thing but I don't really know about them, maybe the post-school equivalent would be someone working in recruitment? A life/career coach comes at solving that challenge from a slightly different angle, working with you to find out what is important to you and what you want to pursue rather than someone telling you all the different jobs/roles that you might be appropriate for.
My first paying client was from lfgss and he smashed his career transition goals, so give me a shout/reply here if you want to ask any questions about life coaching or career transitions. I always think that the advice other forum-members contribute with here is pretty strong too.
Thanks @RubberDucky too

I just got back from 2 years in Spain, drop me a message if you think that could be relevant.

No, but I know there's a very active academia thread where you might get some good results.

Wow, huge changes. All power to you, sounds like you're gaining some control and autonomy.

It's interesting to think that becoming some kind of programmer could be seen as 'breaking free of professional life'
This kind of hit me! I felt like I had totally broken free after trading a full time job for a... full time job? I think it's indicative of a sense that you've transitioned from a job where you have to be a "professional" to a job where you can be yourself, whether that's in how you express yourself through your work, how you schedule your work week, your wellbeing or something else entirely.
Damn

About 7 months ago I first posted here about a possible escape route from my job (teaching) in to career/life coaching and I want to post an update.
I left my day job Feb 11th and am approaching, but still some way off, making a living wage for my city almost 4 months later. My first paying client was an lfgss member looking to improve their job satisfaction and my most recent client is a local start up CEO looking to experiment with coaching to improve their company. Working as self-employed for the first time has been just so awesome.. I've never enjoyed that kind of flexibility at work as a teacher or as a bar manager (always working xmas day and NYE).
The space to explore this business/sector has been huge but my current challenge is whether or not to pick up some regular work on the side to sustain myself while I build up my experience and client base to a point where it can be sustainable/financially viable.
If anyone's curious about anything coaching or wants to chat, send me a message here or check out my website . Be great to hear what other people are up to, the last year has no doubt been catalytic in some ways.
10 friends and I are doing the NC500 next week (16th-25th) and are driving our bikes up in a van. We were hoping to find a kindred spirit with a parking space for a transit van rather than paying asda to park it there. Does anyone have a spot/know someone in Inverness who might?
Thanks in advance
