I've noticed something very striking about the people who come to
see me complaining that they're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or "so
confused"... After a while, it becomes clear that they are much
more talented and much more ambitious than average.
Can I conclude that, if you feel confused or stuck, this is a sure
sign that you have above average capabilities?
Well, Albert Einstein, as a child, was a slow learner. We can't conclude
from this that all slow learners will turn out to be geniuses.
But we can certainly be open to the possiblity that at least some
slow learners might turn out to develop into very smart people.
So I am open to the possibility that people who feel stuck might
turn out to be people with the potential to achieve a lot.
To get unstuck, I help you connect with a felt sense of what you
really want... your real goals... something that is going to motivate
you at a gut level... a powerful drive that will help you break through
the vicious cycle.
Of course, motivation alone is not enough. All this freed-up energy
has to be channeled into a realistic plan, and into consistent efforts
to overcome the inevitable obstacles. The combination of motivation,
planning and follow-through is what makes up effective coaching.
