You have all the answers (& they’re different for everyone)

As any good coach will tell you (not that I’m a coach, but I’ve worked with plenty!) YOU have all the answers. But there is no ‘one plan’ you must stick to or get right–there is instead the ‘right plan for you’ which is perfect for your life, business, whatever because it fits with your goals, your values, your take on things.

I can see the future (and so can you)

2

Some of my clients joke with me (at least I think it’s a joke) that I can see the future. They ask me to tell them what I see for them in the weeks or months ahead. And I do. I tell them what I see they are capable of, and what is absolutely possible for them – whether it’s their future or not is not up to me though – it’s up to them.
