"I’d been floundering in my work & career aspirations for years.  With six months of coaching, Tom Huntington helped me avoid losing a lot of money starting a new business that again wasn’t right for me, but most of all Tom’s coaching helped me discover and "go for" my new career, which I love and am finding success and great work satisfaction.”  [2½ years after coaching].

 When you know what you want and what you don’t want, you are:

• More able to focus on what’s most important to you

• Less likely to be distracted by others from your personal priorities

• Better able to initiate and lead

• More creative

• More authentic

Some of the more common symptoms of not being clear on what you want and don’t want:

• General unhappiness or dissatisfaction with your life

• Co-dependence or easily affected by other people

• Being a “people pleaser”

• Overly “nice” and self-effacing

• Lack of success as you define “success” in the important areas of your life

• Unsatisfying, muddled, or troubled relationships

• Lack of clear goals in your life – short-term or long-term

• Difficulty in standing up for yourself

• Your life ruled by ‘shoulds’ and ‘have-to’s’
