Over the last year I’ve been helping men and women that have been single, married or divorced, middle age or millennial. I’ve only been working with people that have come to me with the understanding that the people I’m working with are helping me as well. It feels awkward to call myself a life coach, however this is what I seem to be doing as I work with my clients. How am I different? How do I separate myself from all the other life coaches out there?
Well I got the answer. I didn’t get the answer from myself, I got it from my clients. It comes down to these three traits: Trust, experience, and “I’m an expert on me.” In that order.
One of the many reasons I wrote The Humble Warrior was to connect with those that might be struggling in an area of their life and build 110% trust with my clients. Everyone I work with, I utilize my experiences which have led me to being an expert on me. This is what I’m remarkably discovering working with others. When someone takes this step to figure out what’s going on, they are taking that first small step to change with the intent of becoming an expert on themselves.
That’s it! The Life Expert Coach! We together help you become the expert on you!
Through our first 3-4 sessions we cover the basics that one may be trying to improve which include health, relationships, career, finances, parenting, etc. We all need someone to talk to, and it doesn’t always have to be a therapist. Most of us need to process through the expression of oneself and talking with me may give you that opportunity.
Here is where the real work begins. When we get an overall picture of what’s going on, we need to take full responsibility of having the life we want. No more excuses of my upbringing, my boyfriend/girlfriend, husband/wife, first, second, or third job, boss, and my two favorites: I don’t have the time or money.
Most of us, including me, forgot to listen to our heart. It’s in the heart where God speaks. This is what’s missing, listening to one’s heart. It’s getting connected to the perfect you when you came into the world, it’s through our work together that we will help you reestablish your connection to the perfect you that you are today.
Once that connection is back in place, you naturally will evolve into a more loving human being. Everything that is outside of your control, you will know is just that. Out of your control. You will live by the only thing you can control, and that is how you respond.
In the end, I help people connect more deeply within him or herself.
