I believe that to be an exceptional life coach, there needs to be a measure of natural knack; that the life coach’s entire life and experiences serve as the training ground and it does not mean to have “arrived” yet. It is rather the awareness of being in constant self-growth and through clients’ challenges both life coach and client grow into their own.

My resume is impressive at best. Here are some highlights:
• In my lifetime, I have felt confident, but have also experienced not feeling capable to take on a task.
• I have felt bored and unchallenged.
• I have felt fear that paralyses.
• I have rebelled against the status quo, craving independence.
• I have tried to live up to the idea of who I think others think I should be (yes, this sentence needs a second read).
• Spiritually, I have chosen the wide road many a times, but I have also been on the narrow path.
• I have been on an emotional journey to what could best be describe as “to hell and back”.

In terms of academic credentials, my background is in the world of sales and marketing and have the relevant paperwork to convince you. But if you rely on my academic qualifications as an indication of my efficiency as a life coach, we might not be the right fit.

I like to believe that unorthodox intelligence, creative problem solving and to welcome outcome without being burdened by expectation, is the secret to success.

Lastly, I am willing to admit that I might be bribed into accepting a good bottle of red wine as form of payment for services rendered.

If you relate to the things from my life – the human factor – realising that we are not to be defined by the circumstances where we are, it might be time for us to have a conversation.

If you believe that you deserve more, I believe that you will get there.
