What’s hiding under your hood?
I love the metaphor of looking under the hood! It’s a great way to describe what I do as a coach.
A client tells me what they are experiencing that makes them uncomfortable, anxious, angry or stressed. The way you tell your mechanic that you hear a funny noise in your car.
Then we look under the hood to see what’s actually going on.
If all we focused on was the “funny noise” I might have you turn your music up, or wear ear plugs when you drive so you don’t hear it.
That’s ridiculous! At least we know it is when we’re dealing with our car.
But we do that sort of thing all the time with “funny noises” in our lives. Instead of getting the mechanic (me, in this case) to look under the hood and figure out what’s really going on so we can address the real issue, we binge Netfilx or have another glass of wine, or decide if we were more disciplined we’d be fine.
Nope. That’s not it. That’s why those things don’t work in the long-run. Sure, like turning up the music, it might drown out the funny noise for a while, but… nothing is happening to address the issue.
Believe me, once we find the issue and start to heal it, the “funny noise” will go away or we’ll make a minor adjustment to stop it. But without healing the cause, nothing we do will last.
That’s why I love what I do! Clients come to me with their “funny noise” and we look under the hood, heal the cause and get them humming down the road without any funny noises!
I created a free worksheet to take you through one of the processes I use to look under the hood with clients. You can download it HERE.
The worksheet is simple and powerful!
If you have any questions or you're interested in exploring working with me, book a 15-Minute Connection Call. Your timing is perfect. I have a couple of openings right now, so don’t wait. That “funny noise” isn’t going to go away by itself. 😄
