Hey
I recall one lovely lady who booked a complimentary call with me alst year....
She was desperate to lose about 50 pounds, bring shape and strength back into her body, feel good in
her body again, and enjoy more intimacy with her hubby.
So when I asked her why she couldn't commit to a health plan for all the years behind her, she began to list off a bunch of reasons.....
Her yard was cluttered and she needed to clean it up.
The pool
was overgrown...
She had to work, she was on night shift....and a few other things that life had thrown her way.
Finances (she didn't want to pay for yet another program).
So why are we on this call then? I
asked.
She went real quiet....
Any Body Transformation journey will take time, I explained. It'll take re-arranging and making changes.
But mostly, it will take making a Decision and then Stepping in....committing...to be coachable and
willing...
After a bit more talk, I kindly let her know that I didn't think she was ready to commit, and we said our goodbye's.
Within 5 minutes, she emailed me back. 'You're right, I hear myself....I'm willing to do it, it's now or never..."
So I invited her in.
And I gottta say, she's rocking it!
She's committed, she does her homework and her weekly check ins, she's down 20 pounds, she asks great questions, and she is taking a hard look at her unconscious patterns, and beginning to shift them. Without that shift, she would have fallen back into her
'procrastination' pattern that kept her away from her goals.
She reminded me that sometimes we have to call peope out on their excuses and roadblocks, because that is the honesty that we are craving, and as coaches, it is our duty to do so sometimes.
I am very happy for this woman's success, and humbled by her
commitment.
Sure she stumbles, she has blocks, but that's what coaching is all about, to help the client to see her roadblocks, and work through them along the way.
So she can step out, feeling strong, looking lean and shapely and loving her body AND her life again.
KABAM!
Karen.
