Working with clients and training classes provides 'challenge' and 'satisfaction' in my life. Helping a person get what they want, especially a deeper appreciation of her/himself, is rewarding. People are similar yet diverse. What I value most about the work we do, is the creative act of tailoring ‘sessions’ to achieve and match a client's value, goals and model of the world.
So there are lots of relationship coaches and personal change experts out there, “Why me?”
I use a Rolls-Royce Approach.
The work we will do is based on the premise that people have all the resources they need to make the changes they say they want. Resources include past accomplishments, relationship skills, states of mind, beliefs and values. My job is to lend assistance and support in accessing and organizing these resources to make those desired changes an accomplished fact. If this basic premise is true or not, matters little because when a person structures their behavior as if the premise is true, untapped resources are brought to the forefront and made available to accomplish the goal.
Each resource is a unique 'success pattern' that rests in your personal history awaiting activation. This is even true for those experiences you have termed 'negative'. Confidence, daring, assertiveness, relaxation (and more…) are all qualities you have used in some area of your life. As I work with you, we will find your unique storehouse of resources and discover how to apply them to your current problems so you can make the changes you want.
Rid Yourself of the Mental Blocks that inhibit...
