Our Publication
A New Journey Begins
There is perhaps a sense of irony that this publication represents a new journey.
As you will see from the various articles within this month’s edition, journeys
often come with bumps in the road, obstacles and roadblocks. Sometimes we
are all forced to take the road less travelled (apologies to Robert Frost). The
point is that we do take the road and continue on our journey.
Such is the story of this publication. Due to a possible area of confusion with
another organisation, we were asked to change the name. Rather than get
tangled up in all sorts of Trade Mark legislation, the editorial team took the very
brave and proactive step to rename our publication. This ensures that there will
be no breaks in publications and we can strive forwards and continue to spread
the message about the benefits of coaching and mentoring.
Introducing ‘Invenio’
Invenio is derived from the Latin word Invenire. Its literal translation means to
come upon, to find, discover, to reach or manage to get. Are these not some of
the most important aspects of coaching and mentoring?
I am often reminded that ‘everything happens for a reason’. It is not what
happens to us but how we deal with what happens to us. I am very honoured
to work with a team that has allowed us to continue on our journey, with what
I believe to be a fantastic new name.
May I welcome you all to read this edition of Invenio and the many more to
come.
Kind regards,
David
