Values & Guiding Principles

Values and Guiding Principles

It all started when…

I was having an increasing number of conversations with friends, family members, work mates and business contacts about the growing number of people experiencing increased anxiety, depression and extreme stress in their personal and professional lives. During an era where there is a much faster pace of life and increasing pressures on our time, inevitably there has been a rise in people feeling over-worked, sometimes alone and generally unsettled in life; having very little time to focus on their own personal development and growth.  Rootball Coaching & Consultancy was set up in response to this problem, to help people to leave behind the things that are holding them back and find new ways to overcome these challenges, obstacles and set-backs in their personal and professional lives.


ROOTBALL Origins

Apart from choosing a company name that has deep family links, Rootball is a metaphor for the mind.

Tree roots and brain neurons are similar. The growth of a tree depends on the roots system finding food and the human mind also needs fuel (neuron activity) to learn and grow. As the tree roots push through the earth, making greater connections with the water and nutrients in the ground, the plant grows stronger and thrives.

There are 100 billion or so neurons or nerve cells in your brain that each grow ‘dendrites’- these look similar to the roots of a tree. The more connections dendrites have with another neuron, the stronger the brain grows and the mind expands. Like the rootball, how the mind is cared for will determine the quality of its life.
