'THE VANISHING MAN' PROJECT
Based on my personal experience of 'burnout' as a professional and the subsequent impact as parent and partner, this research project was originally designed to help me, and now others, figure out how to recognise, reframe and recolour the 'Vanishing Man'.
I hit the big 60 this year. Can't quite believe it!
I've no idea where the time went, It's been quite a journey so far, it sort of feels like 2/3rds done, 1/3 to go, and so I'm embracing the need to change my life paradigm that will unlock many more personal and professional adventures right over the next horizon!
Professionally I've spent 40+ years in sales, in some capacity or other, from a young sales rep on the road pitching directly to customers through to International Director of Sales leading both in-house and external facing sales teams. I've run my own pitch presentation coaching and production consultancy working with clients all around the world on some of the most iconic Architectural, Engineering and Construction projects.
My super power is that I know how to structure, coach and produce powerful pitch presentations, and how to build a winning business strategy. I know how to get the best out of technical people who are not always comfortable with strategy or presenting their solutions, enabling them to be both confident and compelling.
Personally, Husband, Dad of five, and now Grandad of three (soon to be four), I quit full time work in 2022, when professional burnout triggered other aspects of my life that I was just not expecting or equipped for. My journey since then has been one of fairly intense highs and lows, throughout which I've been trying hard to to capture, examine, and learn from the experience, like mapping unchartered territory, using my 'Vanishing Man' project to describe a new paradigm where I, and others where possible, can learn to 'recognise, reframe and recolour' to be the best versions of ourselves!
