About robd
I am a Life & Business coach from Dublin, Ireland. I was born in 1980. I grew up in Firhouse in Dublin. I played football until the age of 19 at junior level and although I was never going to be the next Ronaldo, I enjoyed keeping fit and in shape. I played in bands as a guitarist/bass player/singer throughout my youth and still play for fun, occasionally writing songs. You may find me at Karaoke doing a rendition of something from the 80s getting well into it!
After schooling, I immediately took employment in An Post where I worked as a sorting employee for 15 years. During this time, I got interested in self development and psychology and philosophy.
After a holiday accident in 2001, I began to ask myself some deep and profound questions about life and my place here in the world. I was not fulfilled with my direction and knew in that moment that I had to make a huge choice, if I was to move in a different direction to where I was headed. I knew I had to make a commitment to myself because I wanted to achieve greater happiness and fulfillment.
In my mid twenties, after some hard life lessons, I felt like I was treading the waters of life not doing anything spectacular and felt that I had more to offer than what I was doing. I decided to go back to education, where I had not covered myself in glory in my youth, but knew I had the horsepower to do well. I studied Social Sciences and Psychology and completed my degree in 2014.
In 2013, I left the job I had worked in for 15 years and backed myself to succeed in whatever field I decided to pursue.
I completed a training in Life and Business coaching with the Irish Lifecoach Institute in 2014/15. I also completed a Postgraduate Certificate in UCD, studying Entrepreneurship, Innovation and Enterprise in 2015. Upon completion of that, I set up my company - Life Choice Solutions www.lifechoicesolutions.com.
I now help people to make changes in their own lives and to achieve their goals and expand their vision of what they want to achieve in their own lives. I feel fulfilled and rewarded by the work I do and enjoy working with clients who are looking to get more out of life than what they may have accepted as possible before.
