What slowed me down in the first place is obviously the financial investment of doing it, but then also it was having other people know that I was undergoing coaching because sometimes things like coaching and therapy have a stigma attached to them. Both of those things were initial roadblocks that I had to address.

Specifically, as far as those two roadblocks, I found that it was definitely worth the investment. It's more than worth it to be able to address these fears that I deal with day in and day out and have tools in my toolbox to address them for the rest of my life.

Through the coaching process, I have gained the confidence to outright tell people that I am in therapy, or I am using a coach and not worry about what they might think about it.

I discovered I held a lot of false beliefs about how the world worked and how the world viewed me that were holding me back and preventing me from engaging the way I need to with the world, my family, and my wife.

I really liked that you used an online document to track what it was we were working on, then touch on it in the days in between our calls, so that it was always at the top of my mind. That was really helpful. Probably, I think, the most beneficial part of it.

You would find, find what it is that I was needing to work on and dig deep into that and not let it go. Even if I want to move past that and forget about it. If there's something you could tell that I had admitted was a pain point, you'd stick on that until you thought it had actually been addressed, not just until I felt uncomfortable enough to eject from the conversation.

I can speak, I can speak more confidently at work to convey what it is that I want and don't want to happen. which then allows people to actually consider what it is that I want and don't want and give me those things if they can. So that's one benefit, be able to articulate a little bit better.

Another one was definitely disarming some of the false beliefs that I hold about myself and the world. Even if I still think them, now I can quickly go through the logic of why it is so illogical that I'm thinking that in the first place.

The third benefit is just being being a lot more okay with who I am and where I'm at in the world. So just being able to be more at peace with situations at hand and taking what comes as it comes and not overthinking it until it gets here.

Yeah, I would. If they're experiencing similar situations to what I was when I came into this, if they're frustrated, and they're not getting what they want in life, that they feel that they're inadequate or broken in some way. The issue I specifically dealt with was being the man in the relationship dealing with the same repeating cycle of issues with the women that I am in relationships with. I was just banging my head against the wall.

I really like how well you can catch BS and really just not let that go. You don't let problems go unresolved. I value that
