Helping people (myself first) to self care, modify learned negativity, self "view / talk", and thus, aid people in learning to lessen the effects of their disability. This task was found a natural fit during five years work experience in Hospitals and Care homes from 1990. By 1995 I was again working in the NHS. An "in-service training" post as Senior Community and Ward Assessment Occupational Therapist based at The Northern General Hospital Psychiatric Unit. My NHS Qualified Mental Health oriented trainers in Occupational Therapy for people with severe learning disabilities (since I have a minor one) noticed my true heart for the people I worked with. I'm qualified by people who seek my help. Often we can feel a complete loss of hope. thank you Ms Dixon A current client project is "One Hope". (From a Graffito on the wall at the project base).My first training for work in this field, began after I dropped out of a couple of Software and A.I. Degree / Postgraduate courses at The University of Sheffield. My disability was identified by Dr. Jean Doe. He was walking with his father one day when his head became fragmented by an assassins bullet. I first encountered PTSD as an eight year old child, in my grandfather, George North. In 1945, after recovery from much sadness in Italy. He walked to Berlin, then the Baltic states, to free and help the prisoners of the "work camps" around Treblinka. George's disability has now become medically recognised, it results from endured pain (or even a single Trauma), i.e. not just a difficult day at the Office.Negative self talk. This is taught and can be "un-learned", do not allow it. "Never let anyone push their finger in your eye". Did you learn that its best to accept a negative self belief? Remove that thought. The future can wait, all you ever have is another now. So aim to fully sense the now, feel & hear where you are. You may realise who, or what taught you to think yourself faulty.Why continue, maybe change it !

Incredibly interesting work, I was heavily involved in the art of the deal. One of the business managers were a really nice US couple, Tom was an ex league baseball player. I really liked them truly great human beings. They gave opportunity to me and several other immigrants to London, of learning about the business world. I was struggling to maintain employment and they turned my life around in two years.The company - A loosely affiliated set of innovative Marketing and Entrepreneurial business partners. I was encouraged to build a business to employ and train others, fellow Self Employed Contractors, to build a partner business of a similar type to PerDM.Our aim was to look and sound like professional Registered Charity Company workers without the charity incurring any expenses for our employment, training or taxation. This took the form of long highly encouraging morning meetings, "Sit Downs" and Teaching us how to become an exemplary manager of expectations with the aim of the successful marketing of charities for fundraising purposesFor example. The PerDM Ltd. company held the £134 per recruited donor contractual arrangement with the British Red Cross Ltd. and other similarly unusual charities like Amnesty International. Otherwise unaffiliated staff like myself would aim to get as many secure long term monthly donor Direct Debits recruited as possible in a day, each generated a £25 payment for the fundraiser. PerDm kept the rest.I aimed for the best DD donor retention statistic in the UK. and achieved this target in my first year as I am a dyslexic childhood torture victim. The son, of a British Army torture victim. And I firmly believed in the goodness and aims of the British Red Cross.I tried to work for Amnesty in the same way, however my enthusiasm was too great for Amnesty's fundraising Director when I met her whilst fundraising on Croydon High St. So I was removed from their contract.

Internet Service Provider, Customer Technical Support. - Our target was to handle around 1000 technical/sales oriented calls per week, I was unable to achieve this level of workflow quickly enough for my new manager.Initially I was quite successful in my new post, I had known the company since it was started as Force 9 Internet cafe on London Road. I had just completed a Cisco Academy course in Internetworking at Sheffield's Council run Academy. And joined Plusnet in preference to becoming one of the academy's tutors.Plus Net was bought by BT as I joined, so as my cohort of around four new employees were not required by BT our test period contracts were terminated and we were asked to re-apply through BT's recruitment process if we wished. Sheffield BT had a mainly internal staff recommendation only recruitment policy.

Assistant to the Head of Ecology, we shared a hobby that we never felt able to talk about much as we were too busy with the wildlife. So our working relationship was great, we got on like a house on fire, almost literally as we negotiated our joint role in Ecology for the organisation.Our primary goal was to have as much fun as possible identifying and progressing Biodiversity in the South Yorkshire region. From Bats to Otters via the Great Crested Newt, we never found any Ant eaters but were sure they were out there somewhere. I remember Gwyneth whose daughter was bassist for "The Pixies", relevant in some way, but neither did we find any of those. I organised an inner city community hedgerow planting event and found an Iraqi Refugee Forestry manager working as a cleaner in the City. So enlisted his help to do the planting, he had very little English but enthusiastically set to work and promised to look after it as it was near his Mosque. Sheffield is a wonderfully welcoming city and the local tram depot management team came out to try and stop us. But I had gained planning permission from the City Council and knew exactly where all facilities were buried, showed them the documentation and they walked back into the depot disappointed and returned later that week to pull up the planting.

Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) - Technician into Industry. I provided an IT and development engineering Dept. for this small factory. MS Excel programming and Autocad support.My College Consultant and I developed and transferred their technical drawing dept. into a networked Autocad system. Their technicians produced drawings for building steelwork designs, which were strikingly similar to Ancon Clarke's. (A German firm who worked in the City) But Ancon had a far larger R&D budget for making civil engineering steel parts. I was allocated the update of a spreadsheet they were using to confirm the systems' safe, few comments no test schema or documentation. They'd paid £800 for a handwritten legitimising document for brickwork shelving. The flexure calculation schema had been written into a spreadsheet by the Accounting Director. Wincro Ltd. were to consider employing me as a development technician if the DTI paid for my Wages for one year, around £8000 from Rotherham College. I saved the company around £13000 PA in the first month of my employment, as we could produce the connecting washer (I had redesigned) in our factory for pennies. My first task was to prove this system.So I created a sample rig in consultation with the companies Production Director, and the Civil Heavy Testing Laboratory at The University of Sheffield. Persuaded the MD to buy a new PC for himself (he did not think I needed one initially) and used his old one as a development system, produced a documented combined technical sales / design department Excel version which was able to produce specifications for shelving based on my test piece results and the original 123 sheet for comparison, in order to meet the British Standard for Brickwork.The DTI's aims were to encourage employment for me. The companies' aim was more functional. And I was unable to resolve this fundamental difference in aim. Further employment was neither offered nor sought by myself.
