That's where it gets really dicey with coaching because sometimes I'll work with clients who have had these things and I'll always say, okay, you know, I advise you go see a therapist because I think as an ethical coach, we just have to be really careful with that.

Oh, totally.

And that's why, you know, even though I label myself executive advisor or, you know, in my work, I'll be an executive coach or leadership development consultant.

That's really just the nomenclature.

right?

That's just the container that they understand.

What I really offer is a rite of passage.

And for me, it's that ability to where I look at it is where they're able to cross that threshold.

They're able to either acknowledge or become aware of, okay, yeah, you're right.

There's this thing that's not, I've outgrown this life I built.

It worked for me 20 years ago or 10 years ago, but guess what?

I've outgrown it and I need a new fish tank.

I need a bigger fish tank.

And so

I help them create the bigger fish tank and then also figure out how can they live in alignment with who they are and their vision and their values without all the things they've lost along the way trying to stuff that vision, that old vision.

And so a lot of times they'll come to me and they hit an inflection point where they're like, okay, oh crap, I get to make a choice.

And then they get to make a decision at that point.

And guess what?

Some of them decide, like the board game, back to start.

Right?
