Fear of change, fear of failure, fear of too much work, fear of success, fear of wasting time and money, and fear of the unknown.  If you relate to any this, my hope is that the following first-hand accounts put your fears to rest. 

Life is all about change.  There is no avoiding it.  Does it not make sense to learn how to use change to your advantage rather than having it call the shots?   ‘This was my first experience with life coaching and it was incredibly positive…Lynne Simpson, Remax

There is no failure; only valuable lessons you need to learn along the way to help you get to where you want to go.  You need these lessons.  ‘[Anita] … made me focus on the positive angle of a condition rather than the negative, thus helping me stay focused on the ultimate goal.’  Venika P. Marketing Manager Seattle, Washington                                                                                                 

If you change nothing, nothing will change

When you begin to see the results of your efforts through coaching, it no longer seems like work.  In fact, you are energized to do even more.  ‘I found Anita’s approach to life coaching to be both inspiring and invigorating’  Fred Ayotte, Executive Leader.

Success means change, even if it is good change.  And, change is scary for many people.  But once you get used to it, boy does it feel good.  You are worthy of success.  No matter how hard you try, you can not hide your worthiness.  So, why waste your energy fighting the inevitable?  ‘It was a good reminder to take care of one’s self and an even bigger reminder that the little things you can do for yourself ie: gremlins, are easy things to control.’   Jessica Poustie, former employee, Ministry of Forests and Range, Nanaimo, BC

 Your time is precious.  You work hard for your money.  You will only invest in a sure thing.  But, the benefits of Life Coaching appear nebulous to you.  Therefore it becomes harder to assess the merits of Coaching.  But soon after starting your sessions and measuring your progress, the hard facts become indisputable.  You are making gains.  What is a more solid investment than achieving your goals and feeling better?  The payout is ten-fold.  Your time and money have been well spent.  ‘The coaching process and Anita’s support enabled me to take courage to fill myself with inspiration and to identify and let go of harmful emotional habits that were holding me back and live more freely.’  Rhonda Smith, Taylor, BC 

All anyone really knows is this moment.  Five minutes from now is unknown.  Five seconds from now is unknown.  We live with unknowing all the time.  So how does one become more comfortable with beginning something new?  Get informed.  Ask questions.  Do your research.  If you were buying a car, wouldn’t you do just that?  You might look at magazines that rate cars, surf the web for the latest costs, compare the features between cars, visit dealerships, talk to friends, etc.  ‘I definitely would suggest to anyone if they have the opportunity to take some time and see what Anita has to offer. ‘ Corrina Werner, Ministry of Forests and Range 

Do the same with Life Coaching.  A well-informed decision is a lasting decision.  One way I want to help you with this, is offering a free no obligation twenty minute phone/skype consultation.  I think nothing replaces the direct contact between you and the person you are considering hiring.  So, let’s talk and please ask away!   ‘At first I was skeptical.  But I knew there were things in my life that just weren’t working.  I thought what do I have to lose from a free consultation?…Anita blew me away.’  A THANK-YOU just isn’t enough.’  LB, British Columbia.

Here’s to overcoming your fear,

Anita Mann
