The Health Practitioner’s Journey

Today, I received the first copies of my book, “The Health Practitioner’s Journey.”

It was with great anticipation and excitement that I opened the box at my home surrounded by my family and Andy Ford from Social Star, who published the book for me. Chris Grierson, my editor and coach, wasn’t able to attend but was in my thoughts. The moment was emotional as the two-year journey of the book had finally come to fulfilment.

Reflecting on the two-year process as we celebrated together, I thought of the many times I sat at my kitchen table to write another 1000 words or engage in some research. During these moments, I was largely alone but knew that my family was always there, encouraging me and inquiring about my progress.

Having the physical book in my hand and experiencing the completion of a project that was so close to my heart, made me reflect on why I wanted to write this book. The word "legacy" comes to mind, as does the phrase “I always thought I had a book in me.” I wanted to showcase my experience and share what I had learned, primarily from the many interactions while mentoring and coaching those who worked with me or under my direction. I now have a record of the experience, and I hope it becomes a document that will assist and inspire others in a career in healthcare practice.

I am so grateful for the support I have received from friends and, most importantly, for the belief that my immediate family has in me. That support alone was enough inspiration to complete my journey of personal discovery. The book is also a compilation of the many topics I have taught and discussed with such a wide array of people over my career.

I hope as you delve into the pages of the book, you find inspiration and insights that resonate with you.
