The Ultimate Gift to Yourself
I spend a great deal of time listening to people and one common thread keeps coming through:
“I’m tired of this toxic environment. I need to get out.”
“I want more!”
“I’m tired of doing the same old thing”
Is this you? I hear you and I can help you
My greatest gift is to be able to break down barriers, hear what’s not said, help you identify your skills, and show you how to change careers or, better still, help you start up something new. It's never too late to start or start again!
In fact, research shows us that many people reach that point in their lives and ask themselves, “what else?”. What else can I do if I am not loving what I’m doing?
I want more! I want to contribute to something else! This is what I hear from people around me.
They also ask me: How do you have so much clarity? How do you know what is coming next or what you want to do?
Here is the truth: I wasn’t always as crystal clear as I am today. I have spent time working on myself and identifying the micro changes that are needed to bring me that clarity. Nothing happens overnight but, when you really want to make a change, you need to begin by investing in yourself.
Just like you invest your time to look for a new outfit, then your money to buy it so that you can look different and feel nice about yourself, so too comes the investment in YOU to make those micro differences in who you want to be. You need to walk the talk and then take action.
If you want to wake up with a smile on your face, like I do every single day, you need to do something different. You can’t simply keep talking to your family and friends and then keep doing what you have always done. Change happens when you are prepared to invest in doing things you haven’t done before with the intention of getting something different from it. Taking ACTION.
That means trying something new. Talking to someone different and being prepared to be comfortable with being uncomfortable because that’s when the magic truly happens. I have shared these experiences and skills with thousands of people in my years and they all say one thing: I didn't know what I didn't know!
So, what do you want?
The first thing people say is “FREEDOM”.
But freedom to you may look very different to someone else. These are the types of things we work on as we work through that roadmap. This is how I have crystal clear clarity about the choices I make. I have the freedom to choose when I work, how much I work and who I work with. Do you want freedom?The second thing people say is “CHOICE”.
Choice of what I do for work and how I do it. Well, here it is, that is how I live life and play at work. When you begin to identify what that looks like, you begin to attract the right people too.The third thing people say is “WHEN”.
When do you know? This part is easy, you know when you begin to feel that it’s right. Your shoulders drop, and the tension is released. You don’t have that tension in your stomach and your breathing changes. Yes, I see all of that, but most importantly you feel it. How good does that sound?The fourth thing people say is “How can I do it too? I've never done it before.”
Of course, you can! If you are reading this then you are ready. You know you are but now it’s up to you to give yourself the ultimate gift. If you don’t invest in yourself, then who will? If you want change, it must come from you. When you do start, you will never look back.The fifth thing people say is “OKAY”.
Saying it out loud and telling someone that you are going to start doing something different is when you begin the CHANGE within yourself. It’s a mixture of excitement and fear because you just don’t know what’s ahead, but you know you need to do it.
Faith in Yourself
Every time I work with a new client, they say “I am excited and scared at the same time”. Most of my clients come from word of mouth so they come with some knowledge of what is possible as they have seen the transformation happen. This is the case when people are employees (go through Executive Coaching) or have made a choice to start their business or to scale up.
There is something magical about seeing people slowly break through barriers of what they thought they should be, to what they then know is possible. Yes, it can be scary, but the joy that they have reinvigorates them. There is joy back in their life and as they begin to see how big the possibilities are, they also see that they can play “BIGGER”.
Here is the difference.
I don’t sell you my story like most people, instead, I help you discover yours so that you can play your own role. When you live your life with your values and you set your boundaries, knowing where you choose to be, you live a life of joy and you love what you do.
Are you ready to start the new year differently?
Then it starts today with you. I will be there by your side to help you get there.
Invest in yourself, not in someone else!
