Want To Up Your Game? Ask Someone Who Specializes In What You Don’t

This past week I got three compliments on what I was wearing. And on three separate days, no less.

I like to look good. And I think I generally do. But I don’t usually get compliments on what I’m wearing, from a random stranger in the Air Canada lounge, from a colleague, from the server at a restaurant.

What happened?

I hired a stylist to help me. She came to my house Saturday afternoon and looked in my closet. I’ve got lots of great pieces, but she saw something I didn’t. She put things together in ways I hadn’t considered. She pulled out things I hadn’t worn in years. With fresh eyes, she saw magic, where I just saw a collection of articles of clothing.

Now I feel different, better, sexier, prettier. All in the same clothes that have always been in my closet.

She was fabulous. She has an eye I don’t have…yet. Her expertise is a game changer for me, and I’m loving it.

Try this ONE thing

Who knows more than you do about something? Who’s an expert where you’re not? Perhaps it’s time to tap into their expertise and wisdom.

Want to experience coaching? I like to start with a deep, get-to-know-you conversation to see if we are right for each other. Sometimes we talk for one or two hours at no charge. I have no goal except to bring about transformation. Together we work on the lies, the self-deception, the fears of the power you perceive to be outside yourself. We work on your difficulties in making decisions and your inability thus far to make bold choices in life and to follow through and trust yourself completely to do so.

The irony for some people is that the very thing that they want the coaching for (an indecisive, half-hearted life) is what’s keeping them from deciding whether to get coaching.
