I CAN SEE YOU.

Like in the Sixth Sense where the boy sees dead people, only I SEE THE REAL YOU.

I get you.

Under all the posturing or the insecurity, I see you.

I also see the behaviors and mindsets that hold you back.

BUT...

Most of the time I’m too afraid to tell you what I see.

We’re stuck in this pattern of surface interactions and cultural politeness.

To pierce this politeness feels risky. So I keep my observations to myself.

I’m afraid I’ll offend you or hurt your feelings.

I’m afraid you’ll misunderstand what I see as judgement rather than the deepest desire to help you.

I’m afraid you won’t understand and so my observation won’t serve you.

I’m afraid you’ll call me “holier than thou” or find me unapproachable.

It feels dangerous to say what I see.

I’ve spent my life mastering how to make people feel at ease so that I wouldn’t be rejected.

I know how to hold space and hang with most anyone.

My defensive superpower is that I’m a chameleon.

I’m a powerful observer. I see people for who they are quickly. My perceived survival required it.

But this superpower has also been a lid on the Important Work I’m here to do.

Because I can see people, I have an ability to translate the world of business and marketing in a way they uniquely can hear.

So many people get stuck in business feeling like a fish out of water. Many produce great results but still feel out of alignment.

It’s confusing for them... what to say in marketing, how to make the advice and ideas they’ve collected fit their unique situation or values.

So they rely on hustle and discipline. They produce results from sheer work ethic, often at the expense of their joy and satisfaction.

What started as a vision for a better life turns into a heavy cross to carry.

I can also see how their old patterns and mindsets limit their growth. These patterns become very much a part of who they are. So when I say what I see, it’s easy to think I’m criticizing THEM.

But you are not your limitations. You are powerful beyond measure. You have been trapped in old patterns, patterns you can’t see because they’re too close to home.

I see them.

This is why I always say the answers aren’t found in books, even though I love books.

Books have the ability to inspire perspective. But if you simply put new perspective on top of old patterns, you’re destined to repeat those patterns.

You will feel stuck and not know why. After all, you had this great epiphany, shouldn’t that catapult you to new realms?

Sadly, the process of growth and transformation is not an overnight catapulting.

Process, not information, creates transformation.

And having someone by your side that can keep pointing out the patterns that keep you stuck is vital to finding alignment with your Self and the work you’re here to do.

As you move through this process, it’s not only I that can see you, but...

YOU BEGIN TO SEE YOURSELF.
