In this week’s Podcast Suzanne Bolwell-Davies from Flexible Hr Ltd and I are discussing  the real meaning of “The Jewel In the Nile“.    If  a coach ( i.e. a ‘Diamond polisher’) could walk into your life with the skill and the wisdom to guide you in the right direction, would that become a priceless opportunity?

I have put together a list of 50 reasons why coaching can help individuals who are finding their career too stressful, who have aspirations to aim higher but haven’t so far taken action, or who would love to discover just what they are destined to become.  As the character played by Danny Di Vito Discovered in this film, sometimes what you’re looking for isn’t necessarily the end of the story …

Running a business hasn’t all been plain sailing for Suzanne Bolwell-Davies of Flexible HR Ltd as she discovered recently.   Everything was going really well until she ruptured her achilles tendon whilst playing tennis. She’s now in plaster up to her knee and is in a wheel chair or has to get about with the aid of crutches.  Suzanne can’t drive, she can’t even leave her house!  Plus she has a daughter at school, and a business to run.  Hear how she’s been coping …

My New book is now ranked higher up the Amazon Career Bestseller list than Alan Sugar’s Biography! I never EVER thought that would happen to me. Must remember the date Monday 8th June!!

I once abseiled down the side of a 100ft office block for charity. I was lured into this feat by the prospect of a close encounter with an instructor from the Royal Artillery. The things you’ll do just to see a man in a uniform…!

Anyway, the thing about abseiling is that you once you go ‘over the top’ so to speak and are ready for your descent, nothing much will happen unless you push yourself out – out into empty space! At the same time you have to loosen the rope in one hand because if you don’t push or let go, you’re not going anywhere. It feels very strange at first and a bit counter-intuitive because your mind and body is screaming “why would I consciously want to push myself off a ledge 100ft up in the air whilst letting go of a rope?!”

This is exactly the same feeling we get when we’re faced with change. We know we’ve got to move out of our comfort zone into unknown territory, but nothing will happen unless we move into a space that makes us feel very uncomfortable indeed. Change is about letting go of the past, but pushing into the future without really knowing what’s coming next!

It takes courage to do both at the same time because our natural instinct is to sit tight, hold on and wait. There is, however a pivotal point where, with a bit of encouragement from someone else (i.e. in my case the army man!), we take a deep breath, let go and push – and bingo you’re on your way. After that the adrenaline kicks in and you feel stupendously and ridiculously happy!

If you’d like some strategies for letting go, embracing change and creating a meaningful future then more strategies can be found in my new book due to be published officially on the 8th June. “Discover Yourself On the Yellow Brick Road” is chock full of stories, activities, strategies and tools and tips all geared to help anyone who’s currently thinking “who am I, what do I really want from my career and how will I achieve that?”

Just had an update from one of my clients today on the progress he has made since he started coaching with me only one month ago. Here is what has changed for him since we started:-

1. He is less stressed and more relaxed
2. He has made some adjustments to his office space and is therefore more organised
3. He has started to delegate work to his staff, instead of taking it all on himself, and found someone to look after his diary and make all his appointments
4. He is thinking more proactively and less reactively
5. He is more confident in meetings and has a stronger belief in himself, and that decisions will go his way
6. He is handling the difficult people in his life more confidently
7. Because he has emptied some space in his head previously occupied by his overloaded schedule, he is now beginning to think about the future of his business and how to get there
8. He is making more executive decisions, rather than waiting for answers
9. His spouse has noticed a change in him and he is more communicative and therefore easier to be around
10. He is making things happen now that his mind isn’t cluttered with trivial annoyances

For the person who is currently stressed, going round in circles and feeling tired and tetchy – there is another way.

More strategies can be found in my new book “Discover Yourself On the Yellow Brick Road – 7 Core Principles of Success” published on Amazon on the 8th June.
