I began coaching with Nathan at a very busy time in my life, and he was understanding, encouraging, and supportive from the start even with my hectic schedule.
The fact that Nathan has ADHD himself is an important quality, because he can relate to this journey and I didn’t ever have to second-guess that he really knew where I was coming from.
I recommend a phone call to start with. It was a great way to clearly convey my goals and to express what has and hasn’t worked for me in the past. He also had the opportunity to gain a true and better picture of me as a person.
He was willing to support me in whatever way I felt was best for me. We came up with practical, immediate solutions, and discussed big picture attitudes and outlooks – wherever our conversations via phone calls or check-in happened to take us.
I can confidently say that Nathan’s coaching is a worthwhile investment. He is a kind, engaging person that will find a way to help you in a way that personally suits you.
ISLAMABAD - Chairman Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) Sohail Ahmad on Tuesday reaffirmed the governments commitment to form Inland Revenue Service (IRS) even if the World Bank stops its support to Tax Administration Reforms Programme (TARP). This he said while addressing a press conference at FBR head office. IRS was Pakistans own programme and this was the part of FBRs tax reforms he said and added that IRS was the need of FBR. He said, Some officers of FBR have challenged the creation of IRS in Lahore High Court (LHC) however the court dismissed the writs as they said in the judgement that it would not only improve the tax administration but the tax collection would also increase. World Banks team, which was currently visiting Pakistan, was not inspecting Government of Pakistan and FBR. They are investigating their own officers, who were running the TARP in Pakistan. He said World Bank had showed satisfaction over the performance of FBR of last six months as they might extend TARP for two years further. On a question, he said 57 officers of customs group were ready to come in IRS. He said a small panel team consisting of one panel member and a staff member was on the visit of Pakistan on February 22-24, 2010. The panel will prepare its eligibility report after this visit in which it will recommend to the World Bank board of directors whether the request merits an investigation. Due to FBRs reforms, tax collection had enhance by 20 to 30 percent from October over the same period of last year despite oil prices were not so high as compare corresponding period he said. On another query, FBR chairman said We set the revenue target in the wake that power subsidies would go in the current fiscal year. Due to cut in Public Sector Development Programme (PSDP), tax collection would be affected he said and added that similarly withdrawal of taxes on sugar would cause billions of tax shortages to FBR. The FBR had demonstrated a strong commitment to increase the efficiency of tax collection, to improve the level of service to the taxpayers, and to ensure a fair and more equitable application of tax laws, said Yusupha Crookes, WB Country Director for Pakistan. The World Bank is committed to continuing our support to the FBR for the implementation of this ambitious reform strategy, primarily through the Tax Administration Reform Project (TARP). He stressed that reforms of tax policy and administration were among the most crucial economic reforms for Pakistan. Pakistans tax to GDP ratio at around 10 percent was among the lowest in the world, severely jeopardising national goals of reducing poverty and increasing and improving vital public services such a health care, education, and infrastructure.
LAHORE– While treading carefully on the PPP-triggered issue of new provinces in Punjab, THE PML-N has put on alert the party office bearers throughout the country for a possible showdown if the federal government strove to bulldoze the stand taken by Punjab government and went ahead to carve out more provinces mainly on the basis of language.
With the party president, Mian Nawaz Sharif in the chair, the PML-N top leadership is holding meeting almost every day to discuss the issue and frame a strategy to halt the federal government from making advancement on the creation of new provinces, disregarding the point of view of Punjab and resolution passed by the Punjab Assembly earlier on new provinces. Sources in the party say the PML-N leadership is unanimous on the point that the present move of the federal government is a political gimmick to further complicate the situation, at a time when it is facing serious results from the Supreme Court in NRO case.
The party does not want the existing assemblies, which have left the life of a few months only, to legislate on this highly important matter just for the political benefit of rulers.
Sources say the PML-N is fully in favour of new provinces but by the next assemblies after the elections and that in view of the administrative needs of the people and not on the ground of language, also considering provincial status to Hazara and Fata. The party believes that under the cloak of Punjab, the ultimate goal of the Centre is the division of Sindh on rural and urban basis as well as Urdu speaking a non-Urdu speaking, which the PML-N is determined to resist tooth and nails.
Sources say the party is also conscious of the fact that the PPP owing to its poor performance in governance, intends to cash in on the issue of new provinces, however with undercover ambition to upset the current situation. The leadership is aware that if any chaotic situation erupted by that means, it may benefit any third force to make inroad as such it is designing the resistance against the PPP move in a manner that the situation does not provide for any undemocratic act. Sources say that leadership has informed the office holders of its organizations throughout the country to remain on the toes to mobilize the public opinion on the party point of view as well as for peaceful street protests.
The party leadership has also taken heart from the Balochistan Chief Minister who opposed more provinces at this stage and recognizes the resolution passed by the PA against National Commission a big step against the division of Punjab on PP terms. The resolution tabled for Pothohar province is being taken another stopper, say the sources.
