Why I don’t give advice

As a Life/Parental Coach I don’t give advice. This is not what you want. You get unsolicited advice and opinions all day long from friends, family, co-workers or the lady in the queue at the till! Enough of that!

What you want is to be listened to and understood and supported. You also want to listen to yourself and I can be your echo in that, saying your own words back to you so you can hear them despite all the white noise around…

For example you tell me “ I have enough, I want peace” I hear you and I won’t let go until you define what “peace” means to you and how to get there… what resources do you have to make it happen? What values? Are you ready to “lose” something in order to “gain” peace? What could you start this week, today? What little change can you make in your routine/ work/ lifestyle?

How can I help you in this? How can you be accountable?

How bad do you want it to happen? On a scale of 1 to 10?

What would be the cost of doing nothing?

I won’t give you advice but I’ll give you that peace. Because if you want it then it is already in you and my job is to help you dig all those treasures inside you!

So make that first phone all, I’m here to listen.

In the meantime take care.

This is my only advice!
