Who I work with
The more explicit version — for the person who already knows why they're reading this.
They know they should not think and feel the way they do, but they cannot seem to stop. They spend too much time in their own heads, and they know it is affecting them.
They want to know that the things they do can directly affect the areas they want to affect, when they want to affect them.
If not now, certainly eventually.
They want work to be fulfilling.
They want work to be challenging.
They want life to be manageable.
They want life to be stable in the ways they need to rely on.
They want to care for what is a priority to them.
They want to know that what they are doing is not setting them up for some massive, unseen failure.
They want to know they are approaching what they want in ways that still serve what motivated them to pursue it in the first place.
Their problem has often been other people's opinions of them.
That has produced a life of mischaracterization, misrepresentation, genuine misunderstanding, occasional condemnation, and repeated assumptions about their intentions.
Because of all this true and real-life experience, they have learned that most people simply cannot understand them in the ways they know they need to be understood, when they need it most.
I use the word need specifically.
This person knows they need someone competent who gets it—but really gets it.
Not textbook.
Not merely educated.
Not someone who has only worked with it.
Someone who was.
Someone who was once in a position like theirs, or worse—and has since occupied a position like theirs, or higher.
More importantly, they respect someone whose challenges might make them question the severity of their own—not to diminish what happened to them, but to show them that maybe what happened to them can be overcome too.
The people I work with have had serious events transpire in their lives.
They were either directly affected or indirectly affected to such a degree that what happened continues to influence much of how they behave today.
Not everyone wants therapy.
Not everyone wants personal development.
Not everyone wants a life centered around growth.
Everyone wants the freedom to think and feel the way they want.
Not all the time. This is not a drug.
But there is a bleeding they feel, where they are constantly figuring out the same kind of problem.
This work transcends more than fifty industries because it operates on the congruency every system illustrates.
Congruency meaning that things working well have an overlap, no matter where they appear.
It also recognizes that the consistent pattern is you.
These are the people who want to understand and work beyond their patterns.
For companies
I do for you what I teach people to do for themselves, so your company does it for you.
