I believed inspiring people who inspired me, was what I needed.

For the past two years I have been searching for inspiration.

Searching for the insight, the breakthrough, the #1thing I needed.

Perhaps you’re reading this because you’re looking for inspiration too? 

I was looking for someone (or something) to inspire me to take the action I really needed to take.

Someone to fuel me to think about the possibilities. 

Someone to fuel me to feel certain. 

Someone to fuel me to achieve what I really really wanted.

I believed inspiring people who inspired me, was what I needed.

And that was true to a certain extent.

I was inspired by others, I still am, but something was still missing for me.

The reason I know this is, is because I kept on searching.

I kept searching for what I thought I needed by, reading, learning, listening to podcasts, having conversations, self-reflection and loads of other development stuff.

Here’s the thing. 

I now think.

What’s inspiring is that I was curious.

What’s inspiring is that I took action.

What’s inspiring is that I always want more.

What’s inspiring is that deep down I now know there is no one person, no one approach, no standard framework, no silver bullet to what I need. 

My breakthrough came when I found a coach.

My breakthrough came when I first properly got coached two years ago.

Literally, in the first few sessions it become clear.

I had issues (still do..!).

But that wasn’t it

What became clear was that…

I realised what I had been searching for externally, was in fact a tiny portion of what I needed.

I realised what I had been searching for was in fact way more closer to my heart.

I realised what I had been searching for was actually within.

I realised what I had been searching for was inspiration to be ME!

 It was like putting on a new pair of glasses with the correct prescription!

And whilst inspiring people still inspire me, my coach inspired me (and still does) in a way that I actually inspired myself!

WHAT…?!

I never thought that would be possible.

Me inspire myself? Really…?

But getting coached made me see that I am the approach, I am the framework, I am the INSPIRATION I need!

Just think about that for a minute. 

WE ARE OUR TRUE INSPIRATION.

I realised that I control the process of being mentally stimulated to do or feel something, especially to do something creative, courageous and fearless.

And I did.

I left the corporate world after 18 years and started my own business.

I realised that when I inspired myself from the work I was doing, from the time, effort and energy I was creating for myself and my business, I got the insight I had been searching for. 

This is the art of being coached.

I’ve learnt that it’s a continuous process.

I’ve learnt that it’s deep

I’ve learnt that it’s what makes me show up as “great” rather than “good” in everything I do.

I’ve learnt that in coaching there is no standard approach, and no standard coaching template. 

I myself am the agenda, I myself am the real INSPIRATION I need.

HOWEVER, I am also my obstacle!

I share this because I want you to know.

I’m here to inspire you to do and be who you truly are, and who you want to become.

I’m here to help you believe it, see it, feel it, be it!

Just imagine what that would be like?

We work together on the stories, the self-doubt and fears in you about life, and about the power and inspiration you perceive to be outside yourself in other people. 

We work on your challenges, opportunities and dreams, to make bold choices in life and follow through and trust yourself completely to do so.

We work on getting comfortable feeling uncomfortable.

I have no coaching silver bullet. 

Transformation is the only objective!

And the irony for some people is that the very thing that they want the coaching for (a half-hearted, uninspiring life), is what’s keeping them from deciding whether to get coaching

I believe that we all have a default future that will occur if things do not change, and we will keep searching for inspiration. 

After being coached and practicing self-coaching, my default future transformed to my desired future.

It’s not easy.

It often brings me to my knees.

It takes consistent time, effort and energy.

BUT, it’s my path.

And I’m inspiring myself to achieve it every single day.

Are you?

All the best

P.S Thanks for reading! I’d like to invite you to have a complimentary conversation with me, to provoke your thinking and create the inspiration your searching for. When you’re ready, let's connect or you can just drop me a message [email protected] saying, “let’s talk”, and we’ll fix a time to do just that.

In the meantime, here are three questions I’ll leave you with, because I know it will help you seek inspiration from within right away. 

1.    Who or what inspires you the most, and why?

2.    In the last 30 days, what have you done that inspired you to take action?

3.    If we were to get together in one years’ time, and you would be telling me how inspiring your year had been over this time, what would you be telling me?
