Who do you go to for help?

You are your worst enemy~

So many times as I work with people, be they managers going through a difficult transition or with people going through difficult times, I find that one of the first things that falls apart is their real belief in themselves.

Oh it’s easy to say, no, I believe in me, I believe I can do this or get through this or overcome this. But the reality is we all have doubt! And that doubt clouds our ability to truly enhance our situation. The reason we have layers of managers in corporations used to be so that when you were stuck you could go to other managers who had more experience and they could help you. 

But when we are individuals who run into the roadblock or down time we find ourselves struggling so deeply no matter what we say to ourselves and only a few really intuitive people can find their own way without help. The rest of us need to have someone we can share and bounce things off of. We need someone who we can trust, wants the best for us, and we can open ourselves and our problems to them. Once upon a time I believed it was supposed to be your boss or manager but I found that they don’t necessarily want you to succeed or know how to help you. I have found they probably won’t keep your secret or your problem secret. Then I thought it was supposed to be your life partner or spouse and I found that they could use that against you later and might not keep your challenge between the two of you.

What I know now is that is why people pay me $300 a month to be their coach. I have the experience to help them but can never come back to hurt them on a personal or professional level because that is the agreement we have, the honor of our system and the trust that we develop.

When you are struggling to find your path, when you have run into that place where you doubt yourself and you need to unburden or receive advice that is when you need to have that confidant, that person you can bounce things off of. They will help you find your solution whether they give you advice or whether they simply ask the right question so you can find your own answer.

And when that happens you suddenly understand what you need to do, should have been doing or need to find additional people to help you accomplish it. And then your confidence and self belief comes flooding back into you because, there is the person you always believed in right in your mirror.

I encourage you to find your true self and allow someone else to help you stay and often become that person you knew you could be.
