Coaching is Simply Unlocking a Persons Potential
Thursday 4th March 2021,
My life philosophy and one I have incorporated into my sons life over many years now, I encourage coaches into our lives.
Some would consider Stevie Kidd as a serial entrepreneur. He has been at the helm of several different businesses, which he has driven from start-up to seven figures. He’s also experienced crushing defeats, from which he returned and rebuilt, as part of his own personal journey. He understands more than anyone what it takes to succeed, in your personal life, in business and in fitness and he has the tools to take you there.
Stevie Kidd is an experienced and accomplished entrepreneur. Over the past 30 years, he has been at the helm of no fewer than 7 businesses, some of which have exceeded a million-pound turnover. Throughout this process, he has invested over £300k on his own personal development, travelling around the world in his quest to understand human behaviour, studying under the great Dr Richard Bandler, John La Valle, Tony Robbins, Dr Joe Dispenza, and Professor Lipton, to name a few.
So for many years now Stevie has had Fitness, Business and Life coaches all running side by side over the years. He takes his time in choosing his coaches but they must be very aware of the goals we want to achieve in our lives..
Stevie's son Ryan has had coaches in his life for many years also, but within Ryan's life I use a coach and mentors as terminology.
Stevie's coaching methods are simple - acceleration to destination at a pace of business or clients journey. Below is an example of a coaching session with Stevie Kidd, walking a client through many areas across life and business.
Why not walk yourself through this journey and see what happens at the end?
Ask your self.. Was this useful? We're doors opened? Did I find any answers? Do I feel a shift? For me movement within is all within the questions you ask initially then through sub-modalities you create within your mind..
So what is below is a journey between myself and a senior leader within a company.
ENJOY AND EMBRACE..
