Hi, I’m Allen Roberds.
I feel a bit like Bilbo Baggins. Never mind who Gandalf is in this example, but I feel as though I have been given a little nudge out the door, and I am about to begin a grand adventure. Will you join me?
I am the owner of Intangible Ownership, a company focused on growing business leaders through proper use of the most transformative process known to man: The Coaching Process. We will get into what exactly that means at a future time.
As a coach I am focused entirely on helping others raise their own awareness levels. Those who increase their awareness lift themselves out of their own limiting circumstances and situations which opens the door for them to achieve a brighter future full of opportunity. Ultimately, when we all pass from this life, something will be said about each of us. We will all leave a legacy. Coaching opens the door to decide what your legacy will be, live it now, and write that legacy sentence while you live rather than allow others to write it for you when you are gone.
But Why?
So, what’s the purpose behind this blog? Why dump all this information into the inter webs? What is the plan for this page and the pages that will follow it?
I want this page to be a place of reflection, a place of positivity, a place that you can come to perhaps get a little traction in your life, a place that maybe you could find an idea that you weren’t aware of before, or even a place to find a coaching question to ask yourself regularly.
I’d like to come here and just offer a few of my thoughts, regularly, in a way that adds value to you. Perhaps, it opens up your own thinking or offers you a tool that changes the way you see things.
I want to identify a few of the places that I plan to write about on this page so that if you do come across it, you may be able to understand what it is that I’m trying to do here. I’m want to add value to you in the hopes that you realize that I value you as an individual. I may never even meet you. And perhaps you’re sitting there saying, “You can’t add value to me, you don’t even know who I am.” My knowledge of you personally won’t change my attempts to increase value in your life. I can value you regardless of how well I know you.
Ultimately, I am wanting to be a little bit better at this humanity thing. I call myself an embryonic humanitarian. I work with a humanitarian organization outside of Intangible Ownership called 100 Humanitarians International. I believe that we, as humans, greatly underestimate our ability to help others around us, and actually change the trajectory of world events. This is a place for me to write in a way that provides you the tools, resources, ideas, or questions that you can use to better the world.
There. I said it. I want to change the world for the better. I want to help people who want to be better so that they, in turn, can help people to be better. This blog can do that.
What can you expect to see here?
- You can expect stories. Stories that inspire. Stories that teach. Stories of humanity’s successes.
- You can expect to see different ways to consider coaching questions in your life. Although I have a coach in my life, and will always have a coach in my life, I understand that you may want to “self-coach” rather than pursue a coaching relationship. The questions I ask here, when answered honestly, will help you increase the speed at which you grow and accomplish what you want in life. If you ever want to consider a coaching relationship, I am happy to discuss what that may look like. Go here and get on my calendar.
- You can expect that I will share my experiences related to mentors in my life who have impacted me. I have and have had some incredible mentors whose insights I will share with you. I’m passionate about good leadership, and developing quality leadership and communication inside of companies. Aside from coaching, I offer trainings in these areas and will share with you some of the experiences I have had at those trainings.
- You can expect to see information about the brain. I have found great value in my own life by better understanding my brain, better understanding its function, and better understanding what triggers everything that creates my mindset. Dr. Daniel Amen and Joseph McClendon III have helped me understand the importance of healthy brain hardware (the brain function itself), and healthy brain software (what we think about and how it effects our actions). I plan to drop in a bit and just ask, “Hey, do you love your brain today?”
- You can expect an invitation to grow with me. I love sharing what I am learning, and will do that here. I know that my growth and awareness will always be exponentially smaller than what it could be. When I share information, it is not to say that the information is the only way to accomplish a given task. It is simply me sharing what worked and why it worked. I love to grow and invite you to join me.
Remember, all I want to try and do every time I write, is add value to you in a way that allows you to go and better your world.
So there you have it. That’s an introduction of who I am and what you can plan to read on this page.
I don’t want this to be a place of political division. I don’t want this to be a place of personal persuasion. I want this to be a place that you can come to and find that something here always adds value in your life.
If this resonates with you, I invite you to come and join. If you want to know when I post, please follow my Facebook page @IntangibleOwnership, turn on notifications for the page, and you will know when I post the next blog. As a side note, I go live on the Intangible Ownership page every weekday to share thoughts there as well. Perhaps I’ll see you join me there one day.
Meanwhile, remember that One Step Up Makes All the Difference.
