Breakthrough Life Coach for Women's Issues

As I life coach, I have the joy of seeing women step out and do some pretty amazing things. I even stand back in wonder at times and feel challenged about my own life. You can’t play it safe and experience adventure, a dream or the new things that you would like to see happen in life. Change involves stepping out into the unknown, leaving the familiar behind and taking a risk! It reminds me of a passage in Gen. 12:1-3, when the Lord says to Abram “Leave your country, your people and your father’s household and go to the land I will show you.” The expedient word here is to leave!

The story of Susan Boyle on ‘Britains Got talent” show is sweeping the nation and it is the kind of feel good story that most of us like and can celebrate. We always like it when the unlikely happens. When Susan Boyle took the stage, the last thing the judges and audience expected was for her to succeed. Based on her appearance alone she was a very unlikely candidate. Here was a rather homely woman in her forties from an obscure village aspiring to be a great singer. Who was she anyway? Many were no doubt bracing for some uncomfortable moments.

Brian Tracy, author and motivation speaker, asks a very interesting question. “What one skill, if you developed and did it consistently in an excellent fashion, would have the greatest positive impact on your income?” That is a great question to consider. I don’t believe we are given more in life until we utilize and maximize to the greatest potential what we already have. Too many of us equate being busy with being effective. As my husband always says, it’s probably better to do the one “right” thing for you than “100” good things. He is a wise man!

Many of the women that I coach want something more out of life. The problem occurs when I ask these women what they are passionate about. Many stare at me absolutely clueless. Unfortunately, this is not only true for the women I coach but seems to be the issue for many women in our world today. In fact, statistics bear this out. In a recent poll that Oprah did, 70% of women couldn’t tell what they were passionate about. Okay, time to get re-acquainted with ourselves and our passions! Here are four questions to think about.

Life is about choices. We cannot only choose how we view ourselves and our lives but we can even choose our habits. I believe we can position ourselves for success by choosing to develop new habits.

Habit 1 – Exercising Choice: Stephen Covey calls it getting a “paradigm” shift. Most of us could use a paradigm shift. Covey states that most of us “see things not as they are, but as we are conditioned to see them.” Once we understand that much of our life has been conditioned by our past, then we can make a “paradigm” shift in the way we see things. That paradigm shift comes through our choices. We can choose to get a new perspective. We can choose to see ourselves differently and move beyond our past, our victim mentality, excuses and blame. Successful people not only choose to view themselves differently but choose to see the difficulties of their lives as opportunities for growth instead of obstacles to be eliminated.
