WHAT OTHERS SAY

After leaving the corporate world I somehow got hold of the idea of becoming a coach. Took a lot of training and I was doing a certain amount of coaching, but I didn't really feel I had found the thing that was right for me.   

I wasn't fulfilled, and I didn't feel I was giving it my all.  
Coaching felt like a chore to me. Since I am retired, I do want to do something that’s enjoyable and I also want to give back, but not like this.

So, when learning about Natural Advantage, I thought that might help me to figure out what I need to do to actually feel fulfilled in my work.
But then I also thought; I've done a million things already.
Why would I get anything new out of this?

Well, the pretty amazing thing I got out of it right away was that I realized that I had been searching everywhere but not in the obvious.
When you identified my natural advantage, I wondered ‘how did I not see that?
This is how I've enjoyed being my whole life!’

If I look at the things where I was just completely buzzing, and on fire, you pinpointed exactly the conditions.
How you both drew my natural advantage all together out of that first interview that kind of astounded me. You saw the crux of the thing immediately.

Without your help, I would never, ever, ever have seen that.
That was spectacular.

And the outcome was actually something that is so easy for me!
In some ways, it almost seemed like ‘this can't be right, that's too easy’.
Then I realized I had learned things have to be hard to be valuable.
Now I know, it's actually the easy thing, that is your actual gift to the world.

It makes everything so easy when you realize that what comes naturally to you is perfect. That was a massive relief.

I got so much more from it than I expected to get from it.
What I bring to people is much more alive, I'm trusting myself more and I connect with people in a different way.
I finally realized that where my heart lies, is in teaching and working with groups.

 
And as a result of that, I'm getting opportunities I wouldn't have gotten before, because I'm not holding myself back.

Natural Advantage is so completely different than anything out there.
There are no techniques and none of the usual. It's just unraveling of what I do naturally.
And the feeling that that's okay and that that's perfect.
As a matter of fact, that's exactly what I should be doing, if I want to succeed and give value.
Just spectacular.

It’s just so very freeing, very enjoyable, and very light.
I wish I had known this 20 years ago.
