Looking in the proverbial mirror, I asked myself recently:
Am I in?
After all, I’m aware that true, deep lasting growth means waking the f*ck up and facing the music.
And I am in, for life. I know this because to me, lifelong growth is the only way. It never stops. Because why would it? It’s where the fun is!
So there I was, seeing my own thoughts getting in my way. After ALL this time, I thought, seriously… again?!?
Like some kinda knock, knock joke. Knock, knock… who’s there? Hi, it's your thoughts… And we'll keep knocking until you notice and send some love our way.
Often with thoughts and feelings, the saying, what we resist persists, is very true.
I’m IN for this game of growth - if I can’t do it for myself, how the heck can I do it with my clients?
Besides, the mind is a curious, fascinating space - it plays all sorts of tricks and Tom foolery and when we look at it, we can have influence over it.
What about you?
When clients don’t show up for themselves by wanting to meet once a month or less often,
By dancing around real issues, using distractions, or talking about other people,
Trying to fool themselves with a happy face.
Unwilling or not open to seeing that it’s always their own thinking that creates their world,
My job as a coach is to call them out. To see what they don’t see.
So, are you in?
What could be possible for you if you have the courage, audacity, openness to look in the mirror?
Wishing you power,
Ellie
P.S.
Whenever you are ready to take your growth and success to the next level, here are 4 ways to work with me:
1. Bold New Boundaries, 2.0. This master level program will start this Spring. Please contact me for details or to apply.
2. Apply the Enneagram as your personal development map. I'm now offering stand alone sessions even if you aren't a client. The Enneagram is an incredible, profound tool for looking at how you think, act, and feel, and it offers many strategies for growth.
3. 1:1 coaching. Tailored plans for individual needs/goals. 3- 12 months.
4. Thinking partnership. Do you have a business idea, a project, or an idea? You want to strategize, brainstorm? This is not coaching - it's focused and short term. Email me with thinking partnership in the subject line, and we'll talk about how this may serve you.
