I See You

My confusion about growing my business has always been around what gifts I bring to the table. Every time my coach has asked me to go out and ask 3 people what I’m good at, I cringe.

Now part of that is a very old story. What I was good at in corporate, what I built a reputation for, was not valued. My interpersonal skills are off the chart. I think it’s because I’m empathic and can read or sense people’s feelings even when they are saying or doing something different.

It’s really hard to hide from me (when I am paying attention.)

But I used that ability to coach people on getting what they really wanted. Many chose to stay “safe” but all appreciated really being seen and heard. Hopes, fears, regrets and dreams that were never shared with anyone could see the light of day in my office without judgment.

But I was reprimanded more than once for taking too much of a personal interest in people. Their stories and dreams were not my concern. I was only meant to see them as resources and ensure that we were getting the maximum of their productivity (and then some).

So, even though I was told I was really good at coaching, mentoring, relationships and career building, I was wasting time doing it.

I brought that fear to my business knowing intuitively that people really need someone to see them, hear them and help them reach their deepest desires, but questioned whether they’d pay for it.

The truth is: I can help you get whatever you want faster (and probably) easier than you can trying to do it on your own.

Because I can SEE you.

I can see your shit as well as your brilliance.
I can see the things that you hold you back as well as those hidden gems that would propel you forward (if you’d just trust yourself)

So, I laughed today when this showed up in my inbox after asking the Universe yet again, “What am I good at?” “How am I meant to serve?” (whine, whine, sniffle, sniffle)

I hope you enjoy it. And check out the book as well.

Finally, I open to talk about YOUR dream. What would you like to step powerfully into? What would make 2010 a banner year for you?

I see you. And I love and believe in you, too.

Rock on,

Lisa
