this is me

​

I discovered the benefits of coaching when I came to the realisation that I was stuck – I was stuck in how I viewed myself and what I thought I was capable of achieving.  Working in the corporate world for 20 plus years I always appeared outgoing and confident on the outside yet I couldn't understand my lack of desire to move up the corporate ladder.  Despite opportunities for growth and lots of positive feedback I continued to stay in my lane and cruise rather than to  accept new challenges and move forwards.   However, despite what I thought I wanted or repeatedly told myself, I couldn't shake off the gnawing feeling of self doubt and that something wasn't enough in this area of my life.  Deep down I knew that I was stuck in a rut and had been holding myself back for years but I didn't know what forces were at play or what to do about them.

 

As I became more aware of my mental and emotional needs I started to look for something that could help me move out of this mindset and way of experiencing life which is when I discovered Holistic Life Coaching.  This turned out to be a game changer as it allowed me to see how my thinking and belief systems had been keeping me stuck in old patterns, shaping my thoughts, behaviours and ultimately my life experiences.   As I went through the process, both as a student and as a coach to others, I learned how to challenge the outdated view I held of myself and to find new ways of thinking, feeling and doing that allowed me to see my blocks as something existing outside of me rather than something fundamental to who I was.  These insights allowed me to break free from my own constraints and in doing so, I was able to see that choosing how we want to show up in life doesn't have to be a force of willpower and struggle but can instead be achieved through personal insights, mental breakthroughs and a willingness to see beyond our own thought patterns and conditioning to experience what's truly possible. 

​

What these experiences have taught me overall is that we do not have to be victims of our own thought patterns, mindsets and behaviours because there is always something much bigger within us than our habitual selves.  No matter how stuck and how real this feels for you right now there is always another way of experiencing life that speaks truthfully to you.  If you are willing to look beneath the surface of who you think you are to see who you truly are then a new way of thinking, being and doing becomes possible for you, allowing you to come unstuck, unstoppable and ready to live your best life.
