Reasons why people come to me for coaching:

The sticking plaster approach is not working short, medium or long term
Still keep getting what they don’t want even though they don’t do anything new
Eventually get fed up with having no new solutions or band aids
Have no one to talk to
Partner or spouse suggests they get this monkey off their back
Don’t get the buzz anymore from work and lost the passion
Really have to dig deep to find the energy to get out of bed in the morning
Need to move the business on
Work is even more of a bore and drudgery than normal
The market is changing and they are losing customers
No light at the end of the tunnel… in fact there is a train coming straight at them
Lethargic and no energy
Health is suffering .. unable to shake off the cold or sore throat .. seems to hang around for weeks
Eventually decide they need to do something about changing their job
