We are all hearing about the problems in the economy and the many other new challenges.
I too continue to hear repeating concerns and fears from clients:
- "What is going to happen with the growth of my business?"
- "Will my business even survive?"
- "What is going to happen to the quality of life for myself and my family?"
- "I was thinking about a career change. Do I have to give up that dream?
- "What do I do about my children's future?
- "I imagined a different future for myself. How can I deal with these unexpected losses?
In working with client's to confront challenges and clarify new directions, experience has shown me that when you hook into the fears and concerns you loose your ability to solve problems creatively.
Experience has also shown me that my clients have the tremendous ability to confront these challenges. By coaching them to make changes in their own innermost attitude,they have learned to overcome their fears and create new hope for their future.
Developing a positive attitude does not mean you ignore the problem. When you explore the problem objectively, you can then choose to use a Positive Attitude. This effort opens up your innate power to work creatively on new solutions.
