I Was Really Burdened With Doubts And Uncertainty. But, After The First Confidence Coaching Session I Felt A Renewed Sense Of Hope And Optimism!
Is This You?
Are you the sort of person that bothers with things like Confidence Coaching? I'm not. I'm usually far too busy. But then again maybe I find it difficult to accept that I need help. I can be stubborn like that. But if I'm honest with myself, a few weeks ago I was definitely struggling.
Here's my story...
I had been feeling the pressure since the recession took hold here in England, and more especially since The Chancellor's draconian budget. And I knew that I wasn't alone. I had started discounting prices for my services. First time in my career that I've ever done that. And I absolutely hated doing it.
I was really starting to doubt myself...
The thing is, I'm a graphic designer and for the first time in my professional life, I was going into meetings with potential clients, expecting not to get the job. Frankly, I felt awful... there's nothing worse than doubting yourself is there?
It just didn't make sense because I've got a track-record that I should be proud of. I've helped hundred of clients. And I know that I do a good job. But I was starting to forget all the good stuff that I had done over the years.
What Had Happened To Carol!...
Anyway, I was in Starbuck's one Saturday afternoon, when I happened to bump into an old friend of mine, Carol. She and I go way back. We've always been there for each other. Like sisters really.
It had been a few months since I last saw her and I just couldn't believe the change! She seemed relaxed. Happy. Quietly confident. This wasn't the Carol I knew from before. She had been pretty down since the turn of the year. Understandable really ... she'd certainly had more than her fair share of setbacks in her personal life.
Anyway, we got chatting over a coffee, and I asked her what had changed in her life. A new job maybe? Had she come into money? A new lover perhaps?
Actually, it was none of those things.
Turns out she'd been having Confidence Coaching. She couldn't stop talking about it. How her confidence in herself had bloomed. How good she felt about herself. How the past was no longer holding her back.
To be honest I was really envious. And I told her so.
Carol typically, told me straight. 'You can't carry on like you are, Liz', she said. 'You will end up out of business. You're forgetting how good you really are'. 'Look, here's Martin's number', she continued. 'He's a Confidence Coach. He'll look after you'.
Martin Wasn't Like I Thought He Would Be - Thank God!...
So, I gave The Confidence Coach a call. Actually, I couldn't quite believe I was doing it. But, things definitely had to change. Amazingly, Martin was perfectly normal.
You'd expect him to exude a kind of super-confidence wouldn't you? You know, TV expert from Celebrity Big Brother and all that? Thought I'd feel sort of inferior or something. Silly really.
We chatted about all sorts of things. The World Cup. Money. Business. My situation. He put me at ease about himself and the event. And, at the end of the day, I hadn't a great deal to lose.
So, he arranged an initial call. And I'm so thankful that he did. He's got this knack of being able to put people at their ease. He's certainly good at what he does, that's for sure.
Martin told me that all sorts come for Confidence Coaching. Self-employed; business people; creative types. All of us needing a confidence boost of some sort.
Martin’s gift is that he is able to make people feel special. Feel important. It's slightly uncanny how he does it. Almost as if he's known you for years.
Don't Let The Recession Eat Away At Your Confidence...
The work that we did together was very simple. Absolutely nothing to worry about. Yet very very effective. He manages to get you to find your own quiet inner confidence. Some of it in the exercises we did. Sometimes, it was just in something he would say to you. It was all very calm and relaxing.
I put the phone down after our first session seeing a new future. I felt hope again.
Since then my business has gone from strength to strength. I no longer go to pitch a client, feeling that I have to discount my services, Far from it. I believe in myself and what I do.
When Martin asked if I minded giving a little feedback for his website I didn't hesitate for a second.
In fact, you may well be feeling the effect of the recession too. Not just financially, but in terms of your confidence. If you are, I'd recommend wholeheartedly that you give Martin a call.
His number is below. Take it from me, you will get so much more hope, confidence and belief.
The Confidence Coaching will...
- Give you a positive vision of your future
- Help you break through personal barriers
- Give you the confidence, to initiate long awaited change.
- Help you overcome, what has been holding you back
- Enable you to throw off the shackles of inhibition
- Help you to trust your instincts
- Give clarity to your decision-making
As Martin says, Confidence is the companion to courage and boldness. Confidence creates the power, to breakthrough your own personal stop situation.
From my experience, the coaching will take you to a place, where natural confidence flows, and from which spontaneity and youthful energy follows. It feels like a resurrection of hope and possibility.
Who Will Benefit?...
Having spoken to Martin, there are many who have benefited, from Confidence Coaching. Here are some typical examples, of the kinds of people, who have liberated their natural confidence, and overcome doubt:
- Those who want to make their mark in the world.
- Those who want to feel, a greater sense of personal hope.
- Shy people, seeking the confidence to speak out more.
- Sensitive people, reaching for the defiance, to say NO to those things, they don't want.
- People who want to make a career change, but lack the confidence to do so.
- Self-doubters wanting to learn to trust their instincts.
- People wanting the confidence to handle change and uncertainty.
- For those who worry too much, seeking inner quiet and settlement.
- Those wanting an instant confidence boost.
So that's who will benefit from the coaching. But you don't know me do you? So I can't expect you to take my word for what happened to me. But, here are some others who have been to Martin's event. Look what they have to say.
