Customising Profile Category to appear in a block

Using the profile module we create profile categories. Drupal displays the tabs for this within the body of the page (ul.tabs.secondary). How can we disply these tabs within a block instead? Instead of showing the tabs within the body I would like to show the profile category menu in the left navigation of my site when the client logs in. At present the person has to click my account and then edit to get to the categories section. Any ideas?
