An Artist Reflects on her Coaching Journey

An Artist Reflects on her Coaching JourneyBefore I started coaching with Julia, I knew where I was at, but I felt overwhelmed by difficulties in my busy life with lots of change and diverse projects to juggle. Julia helped me put everything in its place.
 

 

 

A Process of Discovery

The process we followed helped me make many discoveries. It gave me the opportunity to make Julia’s tools my own. Julia taught me how to shift my thinking and come to clarity. The result, in every case was:

  • improved action,
  • greater satisfaction and
  • higher quality results.

The major thing I learned was that everything depends on how I think and that I can change how I think about any issue at anytime. I now know that I have the knowledge buried deep inside me, and that coaching with Julia allowed me to let it surface. I’ve stopped beating myself up, realizing that it won’t change anything and is totally counter-productive. I also learned how to challenge myself, and more importantly I learned how to ‘re-wire” myself.

The Power of Perspective

Whenever something seems tragic, Julia helped me transform my thinking and look at it from different perspectives. My coaching journey helped me trust in myself and showed me how to shift my point of view. Now I believe in myself more and feel less vulnerable to outside forces.

Julia helped me realize:

  • How important structure is
  • That I am much stronger than I thought I was
  • How to set boundaries and stand my ground
Accessing Inner Wisdom

The first revelation I made was that absolute personal commitment is required for success. With Julia as my coach I was able to access the deeper layers in my consciousness and realize what to do and resolve to act. I now know how to make choices that are right for me.  Making things conscious, talking about issues and concerns makes them a FACT – and helps with creating clarity. When I talked about things with Julia, it changed my approach.

Julia’s coaching helped me focus. I could not have made this shift without her support!

Beliefs – key to success

I now believe that everything is possible if I really believe in it and systematically work at it. It doesn’t happen overnight though and it doesn’t happen easily but it happens when I’m committed and when I’m 100% involved…and it’s definitely worth all the effort.
 

In Summary

“My life is easier now. I don’t beat myself up any more. I have more clients and more projects and I’m not overwhelmed. Julia’s step by step approach helped me develop the structure I needed to become much more organized and produce better results with less effort. My family is inspired by the improvements they see.

I am equipped and ready to go further. Occasional, as-needed check-ins with Julia will help me stay the course.”
