Transformational Coaching
Exactly what is it?
Transformation coaching helps us get to the bottom of our problems, pain, and roadblocks so we can live our lives more freely and easily. We won't be able to heal emotionally, physically, mentally, and spiritually until we face the things that are holding us back and shine a light on them. Our inner truth tells us what our mind, body, and spirit need when we connect deeply with ourselves. We know the answers deep down. As we move into a state of "being" instead of "doing," we learn to tune out the noise of everyday life and hear these messages. Coaching for transformation also helps us look into the stories we have told ourselves, whether we are aware of them or not, about who we are and how we "should" live. How we think and feel affects our lives. We can alter how we feel once we start to think differently. When we open our hearts and thoughts, we can live a fuller, happier life where we can thrive instead of just surviving. Now this is real change. Many people don't even like themselves, let alone love themselves. By far, the most life-changing thing we can do is start to love ourselves. Because we are closer to being our best selves when we accept all of who we are. This will have an enormous impact! We can be free when we stop looking for happiness, love, and peace in other people. We can take advantage of opportunities, make good changes in our lives, follow our dreams, and finally make the future we want by facing our fears. Finding the limiting beliefs, which are usually kept in the subconscious mind, that are stopping people from living their most authentic and fulfilling life is a big part of it. They get rid of habits and behaviors that don't help them, like sabotaging themselves, putting things off, trying to be perfect, trying to please other people, etc. People who go through coaching will learn more about their talents and gifts, as well as their shadow side, fears, and wants. They will also learn to love and accept themselves more, and they will leave the process with a more empowered view and a bigger mind.

"I came across Wil during a time in my life when I was quite lost, if you could call it that. Feeling lost and unsure about what to do with my life. My failure to move forward on any road made me feel as though I had no real control over my life. Wil challenged me to do things I was extremely apprehensive about doing and inspired me to move in directions I never thought I would go. These difficulties gave me the chance to overcome my own limitations, ideas, and inaction. I'm very happy I met Wil. Thanks to the confidence I gained and the actions I took as a result of our sessions, I was able to meet individuals and examine parts of myself that I had previously ignored. All of the people I've encountered via Wil's assignments & challenges have guided me down a path that, although initially reluctant, now appears to have been the best choice all along. Because you're the only person you have to let down, not anyone else. Wil offers you the self-assurance you need to act and feel challenged. You've changed my life... I really mean that! I'm happier than I ever thought I could be, and I owe that to you."
"Wil quickly helped me identify what was causing me so much strife and discontent in my life. It was simple. ME! I couldn’t get out of my own way. Within about three sessions I was already clearer on some major areas where I needed to give myself permission to “release” and knew which steps I needed to take in order to keep my development and growth moving forward. I am very glad I met Wil and gave him a call. The difference I am seeing, and feeling is AMAZING"

“Thank you SO much for everything, I really enjoyed the whole process. The satisfaction it gave me bagging up all my “grand-dad” clothes at the end of the day was immense! It’s a brilliant process to go through; so cathartic, and it really helped me to rethink my attitude towards what I already own, what I can re-style and what I need buy in the future. You’re so professional and thorough, I can only imagine how many guys you’ve rescued from a crisis of losing confidence and hating how they look! I actually can’t wait to go shopping Thanks so much - you’re the best!!”
