Book description
Reflections on thought-provoking quotations to stimulate and guide
those who are interested by life's challenges. Living life can be a
challenge. Which path should I follow? How should I respond? What
should I do? Many similar questions face us almost daily, whether it
is to do with our job, our relationships or life itself. In 'Walk With
The Wise' Tim Binder and Ron Owen take thought-provoking quotations
and offer their own ideas to stimulate and guide those who wish to
understand life's challenges. Tim and Ron are used to helping people
to make decisions regarding their lives; they have been mentors and
life coaches over many years. They do not dish out answers, rather
they assist people to ask themselves relevant questions, perhaps see
life a little differently and find the answers which are right for them.
Tim Binder Working life for Tim began as a primus stove cleaner with
the Outward Bound Schools followed by 14 years in the Royal Marines
where his love of reading, writing, poetry and ballet inevitably led to
a parting of the ways. Some 20 years in personnel positions in
international construction companies came to an end in 1986, since when
he has been engaged in career coaching and counselling with the UK's
leading provider, where he met and was trained and mentored by Ron. Now
no longer in full-time employment, he can really indulge his interests
in writing, the arts and the outdoors. Ron Owen Born and brought up in
Inner Liverpool, Ron attended Liverpool Institute High School, won a
scholarship to Oxford, emerged with a degree in Modern Languages and
found a new world of opportunity opening up before him. Since then he
has had what he describes as five careers: teacher, RAF officer,
personnel manager, consultant and coach. In his 'retirement' he
continues to coach people who have been made redundant, is a bereavement
support volunteer and, as an aspiring writer, hopes one day to become
half as good as Graham Greene.
