The power of support

c/o @GregorPurdy

Many people still distrust counsellors, therapists, or other support professionals, and as a result, become too numb to resist the weight of their struggles. However, working with a coach can be transformative. After working with me for three, six, or twelve months, my clients develop a deep understanding of themselves, learn to trust their instincts, and to feel secure in their own decisions.

I think when guiding leaders, the aim is always to empower them to think independently and act on their own behalf, ultimately making the coach’s role unnecessary. Through this process, clients come to recognise and harness the remarkable strength that lies within them.

Things worth replacing

I am always looking for new ideas with energy and then finding good practical frameworks for transfer them from theories into action. Nowadays, I work at the intersection between theory and practice. Good theories must have problem solving power and I think the test of a new theory is its usefulness in practice.

Motivation determines what you do.
Attitude determines how well you do it.
