Hello. My name is Edwin. Totally new here. I have been looking for a way to find the gold in my 5+ year struggle with my health with chronic fatigue and ptsd. I would love to build a business in (business) coaching and consultancy. I have 20+ years experience in corporate IT in various software development roles. I guess my decision that my last job contract would indeed be my last made my body say no 5.5 years ago and that later on took me out of the corporate world. Now I am looking for a new source of income as the government has said they will stop paying me in 1.5 years time. I also hate to be dependant on them. My strengths are being empathic, having overview, understanding processes and a lot of knowledge of IT, business, social psychology and personal development as well as communication skills like writing. Besides that I would love to rebuild my health and retake my live long passion for riding exercise bikes (road and mountainbike).
