The power of clear positive requests

The voice focuses on everything that might go wrong or that justifies staying silent. Timeless classics like “I shouldn’t have to say” or “It’ll cause an argument” or “I’ll get in trouble”.

Clear, positive requests are very powerful. Saying what you want to happen can literally change the world around you.

We all need a reboot now and then

I'd decided on a change (updating the website)

I decided I'd also try something new (blogging)

I got some basic self taught information (all hail google!)

I made the change and it went differently to how I expected (it stopped working!)

I experienced a whole spectrum of emotions about what it meant to have failed (self doubt, sadness, anger, frustration, fear, disappointment)

I asked for help - got it - and now it's working (thank you to the people @ itanswers in Liverpool) because with their input I fixed it myself

It's exactly the same with the work I do with clients. Often they show up around numbers 5 or 6 above and often they'll look to me for solutions and nearly all of the time they know exactly what the solution they want is - it's just a case of working together to bring it into sharp focus.

So I invite you all to check out the new id-coaching website - and I'll follow my own advice and ask for help again here - if you see anything incorrect or not working on it please tell me!
