You have asked me to coach you, because you need my help. You want to reach the goal, but so far, it is too far away. The first step is to ask for help, and now I’m here. I’m here to help, but that is not the same as saying that now, all will be easy.
One of the things we will have to work on will be your fears. The fears are the obstacles that are standing in your way, making it impossible to move forward. Say that you have the classic one, you are afraid of public speaking. You freeze up, maybe you don’t even take the assignments that involve public speaking. But you know. Without being able to do it, the goal, that promotion, it is simply not going to happen.
Of course, we will need to work on this, that is the way forward. And that we will do, and you know it.
When we work on overcoming and making the fears shrink, it can be a mix of feelings. The joy of moving forward, and the regret of not doing it earlier. It’s OK, we will just have to keep going.
Even more important are the fears where I need to help you describe them, put the words in order to make them visible. When they become visible, the work really starts. Here, the awareness that happens also brings feelings to the surface. Be prepared for this, and we will work to keep going.
When we are moving on, with the fears shrinking and becoming manageable, actions that you where delaying or not at all willing to take suddenly happen. That is the magic! I am there to help, to get you the results you want.
