"It's been immense"

I love getting positive feedback. Who doesn’t??
When we work together, I prioritise how you’re feeling about the coaching experience.?
I encourage you to reflect on your progress (and challenges) during our time together.?
What are you enjoying? What achievements are you most proud of?
Compare yourself with the person who started the programme, what differences have you noticed?
I received some feedback last week. From someone I’d been helping with career burnout.?
He said: “The programme has been immense”?
Wow.?
He’d been living in Stage 5 Burnout: Habitual Burnout.?
Every day was a struggle. He was constantly exhausted with no idea how to escape.?
Emails until 1 a.m. Little sleep and then emails as soon as he woke up at 6 a.m.?
Burnout had become a way of life for him. Poor boundaries and low confidence had become habitual.?
He’d been doing 3 separate jobs (3!) because he feared letting other people down. He couldn’t say no.?
The only person he was not prioritising was himself.?
How coaching worked for him
Over the course of the programme, I spent a lot of time with my client visualising WHO he wanted to be.?
What was his goal identity?

Once he had this vision, he became clear on his target.?
Next, we set about uncovering limiting self-beliefs. Unconscious stories he was telling himself.
He'd say to himself: "I'm not good enough"
And if he wasn’t working to 110%, he'd say: "I'm failing"
You see, the problem is we all have an inner critic. And sometimes it can turn into a vicious bully.
But, over the weeks and months, my client ditched the garbage he was feeding himself. And he set off on the road to recovery.
Step by step, he started to feel more confident. Introducing healthy boundaries along the way.?
“I have time! It’s been so refreshing”, he said to me.
“I used to pride myself on having a crammed diary - this was my badge of honour.
“Before working with you, Tom, I would say ‘yes’ to every request. But now I feel in control again”.
This man is a different person from the one I met in February.?
He has regained control of himself and his life. He's also reduced those 3 jobs into 1!?
