During his leadership journey, life threw him a curveball. In his early 30s, Andrew lost 10 kg in one week. Frequent visits to the bathroom, a desert-like, and blurred vision finally prompted him to see a doctor. The diagnosis? Type 1 Diabetes. At the time of the diagnosis, he felt a complete loss of control & frustration, followed by anger & resentment. Pricking his fingers checking sugar levels, injecting insulin, managing eye tests, & completing paper work for the road authority, appointments after appointments, he felt life was a mess! He felt like an uncoordinated juggler in the dark, bracing for impact as he didn't know where the concrete blocks would fall. After the initial shock, he began leaning on techniques he had learnt earlier in life to set a new outlook & reclaim his life back. Some thought patterns took a while to change, while others moved quickly with the assistance of NLP. This swiftness in results from NLP, was the catalyst for Andrew to change industries & start coaching people to navigate their own challenges and started leading the life they want.
