Reframing the Role of the Personal Trainer.

How to let go.

Theme: being unafraid to venture into the unknown.

’ Until you step into the unknown, you don’t know what you’re made of’.

Roy T. Bennett.

Being unafraid is your call to action. It is an opportunity to begin new adventures. It is an opportunity to set new challenges for yourself.

Why?

• It’s an opportunity to fill the gaps in your knowledge.
• Learning and experiencing something new.
• Passing this learning experience onto your peers, or your clients.
• It’s an opportunity to be creative.

‘ Creativity requires the courage to let go of certainties’

Erich Fromm

Find yourself a Challenge.

• Let go. Observe and meet the needs of your clients before your own.
• Design with them in mind.
• Give yourself a purpose. My area of interest is motivation, engagement and learning. Find yours.
• Research your chosen interest.
• School Science: Probe/Hypothesise/Reprobe.
• Get out there, experiment and generate new feedback.
• Have fun!!

Design your own Problem Solving Tool, something that will make clear what you are trying to solve, that will generate new ideas, and that will lead to novel solutions.

’ Prototyping at work is giving form to an idea, allowing us to learn from it, evaluate it against others, and improve upon it’
