It's lonely at the top

Our brains like to fix things, so when you tell me your story I subconsciously begin to strategise and think of solutions. I’m really good at problem solving and I really like people so coaching seemed like a natural progression. I became the catalyst when I ask questions and bring observations into our conversations. And one of the things I listen for is what makes this a problem for this person? It’s often a perspective, a mindset, an idea, assumption or a belief and that’s what I’m listening for. The details of the story then become fuzzy as I am homing in to the person in front of me.


- What’s really going on? 

- Are you hurt and feeling betrayed? 

- Are you thinking things should be different than they currently are? 

- Do you have expectations that are just not happening?
- What are your fears? 

- What’s making you anxious? 

- What can’t you control?



You are not alone, there’s a lot going on for everyone.
