He helped me wake up to my gifts and strengths, such that there is no stopping me now.   I will be grateful to him for the rest of my life."

When you have a deep, coherent self understanding, you will:

• Be more authentic and effective in your relationships
• Be more clear and confident about what you want and don’t want in your life
• Make better choices
• Have more compassion for yourself and for others
• Live more balanced in the present
• Be happier
• Be better able to deal with the complexities of life
• Have better self-esteem, self-confidence, self-efficacy
• Have a more realistic, coherent, self-image
• Be more effective in your work
• Earn more recognition, respect, admiration from others

Some symptoms of not knowing yourself well (superficial self understanding):

• Lack of clear life goals
• Unsatisfying or troubled relationships
• Recurring work dissatisfaction
• Lack of success (as you define success)
• Too much disorganization, “scatteredness,” or chaos in your life
• Too much organization or rules in your life – too rigid a daily, weekly, yearly schedule – too much sameness & predictability
• General unhappiness
• Co-dependence – easily distracted from yourself and your wants, needs, desires, priorities, by other people
• Feelings or fears of being phony
• Not well connected to or integrated with your body, mind and your emotions
• Lack of self-motivation (as contrasted with external or compulsory motivation)

Self coaching can help you deepen your coherent self-understanding in all areas of your life

• Self-understanding = self-happiness
• Self-understanding = self-acceptance
• Self-understanding = self-confidence
• Self-understanding = self-authenticity
• Self-understanding = self-strength
