Coaching

1:1 coaching

Trying harder stopped working a long time ago. You just didn’t stop trying.

You can’t stop doing. You’re tired all the time. You’re trying to get all the jobs done so you can relax, and it never comes. You don’t need another strategy. You need to see the wheel you’re running on.

This is for you if…

  • You hold up the business, the team or the family, and keep ending up in the same place.
  • You get close to the top, then quit, crash or walk away.
  • You take a day off and spend it feeling guilty.
  • You train like a champion and compete like someone else.
  • You’ve always felt there was something wrong with you, and nothing you achieve shifts it.

You don’t have to be an athlete. The pitch is different; the repeating pattern is familiar.

You talk. I listen. We draw it.

I listen to the words you use. Really listen. The same two keep coming back – gain and loss, able and unable, support and let down. I write them on either side of the whiteboard and draw a circle between them. That’s your wheel.

Bottom left, a small circle with your initial in it. That’s little you – the one who wrote the code. Top right: Love, Belonging, Connection. What you actually needed.

Then we look at what is happening now. Not motivation. Not positive thinking. Not another set of tools to help you cope. The point is to see the pattern as it happens, not collect another explanation for it.

What you can start noticing

Before we meet, pick one recent moment rather than your entire life story. What happened? What did you feel? What did you urgently need to do or avoid? Bring that. We have something real to work with.

Admin Mode is the moment you can watch the programme run without automatically climbing into it. The urge may still be there. The work is to see it, rather than turn observing into another task to get right.

Neil: Just had a session with Rob about the dynamics around relationships within my business. I was feeling anxious & angry towards members of my team which resulted in loss of productivity. In just one session I feel my head is in a completely new & positive state. Thanks Rob💪

Questions

How many sessions do I need?

Start with one. See how it lands, then decide if you want to keep going. Packages are available if you do.

Do I need to understand the framework first?

No. That’s my job. You just need to be honest about what keeps happening.

Will I lose my edge?

In my experience, athletes can still perform without using the need to prove their worth as fuel. The aim is not to make you care less about your craft. It is to see what has been driving it.

Is this medical or crisis support?

No. Coaching is not diagnosis, medical treatment or emergency support. Keep appropriate professional care in place; seek urgent help if you are in crisis.
