Why would you repeat old pain and misery if you could choose to escape it?
I think everyone would prefer to avoid that situation. Yet, many people escape a bad work experience only to find themselves right back in the middle of another nightmare.
I was recently talking with a friend who had worked for a narcissistic boss. They described how bad the environment was and the horrible things this boss said and did. So, they eventually quit and found a new job.
Guess what?
Their new boss is toxic, too. The work environment is unhealthy, and they dream of escaping it. Again. Negative patterns have an unpleasant way of repeating if you don’t solve the underlying issues that create them.
Given all this, I ask my business coaching clients to stop racing ahead with an entrepreneurial idea. I want them to pause, take a breath, and engage in some deep introspection first.
If I work with you, I start the business coaching and planning process with a deep dive into:
Who you really are.
How you want to spend your days.
What you really want for your life.
Where you want to (ideally) end up when your working journey ends.
In this episode, I take you through the first step of what a coaching engagement with me is like and the exercises I would ask you to complete.
