Events and life circumstances as well as learned behaviours and styles of coping can present personal obstacles or barriers that create stress, anxiety, or feeling down. Occasionally it is impossible to put one’s finger on the nature of the problem. The description often provided is that “things just feel off” or “I just don’t feel like myself”. It is possible to gain insight into the nature of such issues, introduce change, and effectively manage such scenarios through counselling/coaching.
Thanks for your comments. I agree with you, it is possible to gain insight into the nature of such issues, introduce change, and effectively manage such scenarios through counselling/coaching. Sometimes these are the only means through which we can discover our blind spots.
Hi Linda
I just discovered your blog and have enjoyed reading through some of your old posts. Fusion of creativity, the arts, and business is a passion of mine, and I can’t wait to follow your future posts going forward.
Hey Linda, I agree that coaches can be good. They will help you think clearing, see the business at another angle, and they are unbiased towards decisions. as far as sports coaches however, i’ve had some horrid coaches, some people are meant to coach, some not.
