CEO and Lead Coach, Breakfast People
“We fear having less of an impact than we could” Dream Client Strengths: > Create change > Excited by their work
BUT they still...
They fear that they...
> Try to do too much
> Procrastinate and can’t focus
> Let “getting it right” stop them
> Sweat the details
> Are deeply self-critical and overaware of the criticism of others
> Expect too much, too soon
> Follow-through inconsistently > Fail to communicate outside their “bubble”
> Deep thinkers
> So intense, they can scare people off!
> Creative problem solvers
> Hesitate when there’s ambiguity
> Unafraid to be different > Always come back (even when it’s hard)
“We share strengths, challenges and fears”
> Suffer on the quest for selfimprovement
They’re so determined to go their own way, they end up outside the system. This feels fun and rebellious, but they fear they’re having less of an impact than they could have.
“I thought ouch and oof and harsh but also yeah ok, that’s right” What this means for you: All of these things are also true of me! I realised that my best clients are like me: we share strengths, challenges and fears. We make great progress because there is a deep understanding. I believe in their potential, and use tried and tested methods to access it.
