Dan File- Transformative Life Coach
About me!
I am based in Folkestone, in Kent. I love to travel but always return to my hometown, as it is a lovely place to live.
I have had many jobs in my life, starting with a paper-round when I was 11. I then started a job cleaning cars, I became a head waiter in a local restaurant and spent summers eating, I mean picking fruit.
I set up my own entertainment business when I was 18 and worked hard for 10 years performing magic for a variety of audiences.
I gained my Actors Equity card during this time and was lucky enough to have many small roles in TV and films.
In my mid twenties, I went back to university and trained to be a teacher. I spent 25 years teaching in primary schools, the last 11 of these as headteacher of a wonderful village school in the heart of the Kent countryside.
During my time as a teacher, I was able to expand my love of the outdoors and nature by training to be a Forest School practitioner. I set up the most wonderful learning environment for the children in my school and the experiences they gained there, are, in my opinion, lifelong skills.
I live with my wife, two wonderful children, a crazy Cockapoo and a tortoise who is not as slow as you might think.
I am driven by the desire to help people be the best that they can, and to unlock belief in their own needs and capabilities. I am constantly leaning and am studying for an Accredited Diploma in Transformative Coaching with Animas.
