Life in the mining industry can be an unending series of rapidly unfolding events. It therefore was a useful opportunity to introspect and assess myself when I received coaching from Isa. From the beginning, her calm and understanding attitude allowed me to re-frame and contextualize my roles and responsibilities as an individual, father, engineer, leader and manager. Through regular phone discussions, I could stand back from the day to day activities, reflect on my priorities, set clear targets, and return to the real world more focused and aware of my actions and resulting consequences.
