Changing world views through coaching to do what you love doing Joe, 50, Illustrator from America worked with me in 2017, is an Illustrator and Artist who was looking for a coach to help him with his career to finally make a business out of what he loves doing.
He was 48 years old at the time and about to turn 50 and he thought lets give it a go before he regrets not taking action - now or never even though he didn't believe.
He didn’t know what coaching was and kept wanting advice, a typical move that suggests not trusting ones own inner resources and that help comes from outside of oneself.
It took him a few sessions to understand it's about him finding his own answers with my help of catalytic questioning to get him thinking into the directions he might otherwise overlook.
He had no trust towards himself or it working out and always said 'I don’t know'. When he finally got what coaching was about and answered the questions and exploring what he knows and overcoming limiting beliefs aswell as aligning his actions to his values things started moving fast.
We explored what he did in the past that worked and how he could do this again just more thought through this time and explore the different avenues. Explored Ideal client, what he enjoys doing most, where he could find places to do his work for and all of a sudden saw opportunity.
When he realised he could use the job he hates to finance his vocation, he started to love his waiting job and was grateful it gave him the opportunity.
From being pessimistic about his possibilities and opportunities he became open and happy and opportunistic and made what he loves doing most his business.
Your situation is not bad or hopeless, only if you choose to see that side of it.
Once you open up for the opportunities and start seeing them through opening your eyes to it and dig deeper instead of writing it off, what you thought was bad is now helping you. It's all about how you look at things.
The time is always now.
