About The Personal Growth Network
If you've read the home page,
you've clearly got an interest in the topics of coaching, personal
growth, self betterment, and making long term sustainable life change.
The Personal Growth Network has been developed by the founder of The
Wellness Coach,
Doug Nau, as a free resource to support its network of readers and
contributors in consciously growing prosperity and life balance.
The Personal Growth Network as an
informational resource is intended to be the catalyst for purposeful
decisions and action for the betterment of the self and greater
community. Similar to a life coaching model, the end result of providing information on
this website is intended to be action. Learning without applied action
is nice, however does not initiate positive and lasting lifestyle
change.
Mission
The Conscious Growth of Prosperity and Balance:
The Personal Growth Network's
mission is to support people in connecting with their inner wisdom such
that they can make conscious and purposeful lifestyle decisions which
benefit them physically, spiritually and financially while at the same
time benefit the community at large.

My Experience
On
Christmas Eve 2003, my life was changed forever with the diagnosis
of
Chronic
Myeloid Luekemia.
It came at a time when
life was 'out of balance', things were 'overwhelming', work hours were
extreme and good nutrition and exercise were non-existent. This
became
the turning point upon which I had the opportunity to step back,
look at the big picture of life, and become clear my own
personal values and intentions. My diagnosis was an
opportunity to take
clear and focused action towards a new life and the results and this
deliberate and conscious intention has created phenomenal results.
