The following self acknowledgement was the outcome of a
productive coaching session for me with my coach:
"You can be who you are and get what you want."
This acknowledgement was powerful because it grew out of my realization that I
was carrying around a self-limiting, self-imposed life rule about how I have to
"be" in order to be successful. This came as something of a surprise, since I
regularly work with my clients to search for their own self-limiting and
self-imposed life rules. And prior to this particular session with my coach, I
would have said that I was free from negative life rules of my own. Not!
The self-limiting, self-imposed life rule that I discovered through this
coaching session was that I had to be like a pushy sales person in order to get
all the clients I wanted in my coaching practice. That idea awakened lots of
negative thoughts and energy about pushy sales people. Like most people, I
disconnect with anyone who is trying to sell me something that I don't want or
need. So the last thing I wanted to be as a coach with sales responsibilities
was a "pushy sales person."
Without realizing it, I was pressuring myself to be this person and it was
deflating me. Because of this life rule, I was not reaching my potential in
sales-related situations. In fact, I felt enormous resistance toward
sales-related activities most of the time.
Once I revealed this life rule and released it, in essence operating in a way
where I completely broke my rule, things really shifted for me. The sales part
of being a coach became about building a relationship. It became light, easy,
fun, and being exactly who I want to be and to get what I want. It anchored my
leadership as a coach in my being as a person, and that has made all the
difference.
Coaching Inquiries: In what life activities do you feel resistance? Could a
self-limiting, self-imposed life rule be hiding there? What self-limiting,
self-imposed life rules do you live by? What powerful acknowledgement can you
give yourself right now?
