Achievement and Self Image

Why is it that we haven’t achieved the things that we would dearly have loved to have already achieved in our lives?

Well, this is a good question isn’t it? The psychologists tell us that our self image has completely developed by the age of six! So I ask you, “Would you let a six year old go and do your job?” What I mean by that is that as far as confidence in yourself is concerned, unless you’ve worked on it since; your self confidence was installed, if you’re speaking computer language, by the age of six. So if you have had some unpleasant experiences as a small child, if your Dad told you not to play near the electric supply, and told you “It’s very dangerous!” Then your lack of confidence in yourself, not being able to know what is harmful or safe for example, can be traced back to then.

One of the things that Life Coaches do is to work with people, on their lives and show them how to build up their confidence. One of the ways that we build your self confidence is by helping you to face your fears and then little by little bit by bit proving to you that yes, you really are as capable as everybody else! 

By having a Life Coach along with you for the ride, someone who can discuss what happened when things haven’t gone exactly to plan and at that time be supportive; then when things do go exactly to plan, to be there to celebrate with you, but either way a Life Coach can keep you on track by helping you to be neither over confidant or despairing. When you feel like giving up, the Life Coach is there saying, “No it’s not time to give up, it’s time to press on! It’s time to be challenged and to be inspired, and to feel yes that’s really where I want to go!”

For well over two years now, I have coached people from all over the world, from many different walks of life and with well over a thousand hours of coaching completed I am certain that I can be a catalyst for change in your life too! Having spent a thousand hours coaching people I’d have to be a fool to not understand the human condition by now, what’s more as you must realize, I am a human being myself!

You can actually become all that you want to be and Life Coaches are the people who are well equipped to help you to achieve that and there is no reason at all other than the reasons that you give yourself why you haven’t progressed further in your life, that is further in the direction that you intend to go in your life.

So the first Life Coaching session that I would take you through is totally free and it’s a goal setting session and in that session we discover together what it is that you really want to do and then we start working on getting you from where you are to where you want to be.

Don’t let the lack of self-confidence of that six year old rule in your life anymore, let the six year old grow up and let the six year old become a seven and an eight and a nine and a ten and an adult person that realizes day by day that you are capable of all that you dream of doing in your life.

You don’t have to cow tow to everyone around you and fit in. You can do what you want to do as long as you don’t hurt anyone in the process. Some people don’t mind hurting others, but that isn’t something I would coach you to do. But yes, you can grow in wisdom, you can grow in tenacity and determination, you can achieve and you can be inspired. I have been described by my clients as an inspirational coach and I know I can inspire you to move on in your life to be all that you want to be.
