I met Stevie Kidd a little bit by chance. Stevie would call
it fate. I was not meant to be at the meeting between Stevie and my business
partner. I can’t remember now why I drove 60 miles to the office on my day off,
and deciding to stay on into the evening to meet Stevie in the restaurant. All
I knew was that his name is Stevie and he lives in Scotland and that he is some
sort of consultant and business coach.
Now I am about as skeptical and cynical as anyone can be
when consultants are mentioned, and as for business coaches, well they are just
trying a different name to try to avoid the consultant label. So I was prepared
for more of the same old, same old…
When Stevie speaks, you listen to every word. You have to so
you can understand that broad Glaswegian accent. But also because it’s worth
hearing. There was a lot said in that 2 hour dinner that made me think there
may be something in this guy that I had never seen before. He was immediately
able to tap into our business and personal issues, and I left having signed up
to a 3 day business health check. No hard sell, no wild promises but I felt
like there was something of a shift in me which I could not explain and have
now stopped trying to explain.
Three months later and the business and personal shifts are
nothing short of amazing. The business is on a different journey with so many
more possibilities, and there is a renewed energy through the people. Everyone
that Stevie meets, whether inside or external to the company, gets an
experience that they don’t forget and it’s an experience just to watch.
Stevie is not “on the clock”, he never stops working for us
as a board and a business; I suspect he is still working for us in his sleep
and what he delivers is far in excess of what I could have ever imagined.
I have always been a believer that I am who I am and that no
one can change me. I have my strengths and weaknesses, I work in a certain way,
I am good at this and not good at that, this is where I am comfortable and this
is where I am not comfortable. Stevie has immediately thrown all that away and
done something that I would never have envisaged. He has made me realise that
there are no limits and that I can be a different person; to remove all the
excuses and reasons why I can’t.
He has released a positive energy in me that I had forgotten
was there. I have far more focus on my own wellbeing and on my family and
friends. This is not just about business, it about a whole life change. I am
very much a work in progress and it will be a long journey, no doubt with some
relapses along the way, but I am definitely less stressed and feel healthier.
Interestingly I have not had a migraine since I met Stevie (I have averaged 2 a
week for years) and have stopped taking the tablets. That’s worth it in itself.
Stevie is not a consultant, he is not a business coach, he
is not a life coach; he is all these things and much more. There is no one
label that would adequately describe him.
In three months Stevie has become part of our business and
my life; I already know this is a long-term relationship.
Oh, and I haven’t mentioned what a genuinely nice person he
is!!
