Taking a look at a key Collaborator in the community.
Advertisement
Alan has been a member of BeCollaboration™ since the very beginning. Contrary to popular belief he did have a choice. Although married to cofounder Gill Tiney he is a member in his own right and has experienced the ‘Collaborator effect’ on many occasions.
We caught up with Alan at his office at The School People HQ where his team work to support schools, providing them with products and services to make their lives easier. He believes that teachers work hard enough to educate our future generation without them being ill equipped or running out of supplies. I asked Alan what made him go along to his first BeCollaboration meeting? And not because Gill told him to….
Alan chose to reveal a philosophy he had been working on for over two years.
‘My Bubble Paradigm is my philosophy of life to help people take a new perspective on how they can get a better balance to their life looking specifically at their family, work and ‘me’ time. It was a real privilege to share what I believe to be a very simple tool to find true and lasting happiness. I was nervous, scared and excited all at the same time, but it was well received and I was bowled over by the comments afterwards. I’ve even been asked to do the talk again at the Essex Group. This is a whole area of my life that has only come about because of the people I have met in BeCollaboration™. The encouragement, love and support I get from everyone in the community means I feel able to be brave and come out of my comfort zone and by sharing my Bubble Paradigm will be able to help others. This is what BeCollaboration are trying to do for every member, discover their genius and help them to make a difference to someone else.’
BeCollaboration™ has taught me so much, it’s a way of life now and I can’t imagine not being part of this amazing community where I can be myself and am inspired by those around me.’
