Growing your Inner Giant: The Journey of Personal Coaching

Updated: Jun 4, 2023

You know those movies where the protagonist goes through a monumental change? The ones where, initially, they're the underdog, facing insurmountable challenges. But by the end, they're standing tall, having triumphed over their trials? Well, grab some popcorn because this article is about to take you on a similar journey - but here, you're the main character.


Personal coaching is like a gym membership, but for your soul and mental muscles. It's like having a personal trainer, but instead of pushing you to do an extra set of squats, your coach is encouraging you to bench press your limiting beliefs. And hey, it's way less sweaty.


Imagine yourself as a tiny sapling. The sapling has all the potential to become a giant, majestic tree. That's you. The sapling. And your coach? They're the sunlight, water, and nutrient-rich soil nurturing you towards growth.


When we start on this journey, often, we feel small. Not physically small (although if anyone finds the secret to growing an extra inch or two, do share). No, it's the smallness that comes from self-doubt, fear, and limiting beliefs. It's the voice that whispers, "You can't do this." The truth is, you're not alone. Even the most successful people in the world have faced these feelings.


The beauty of personal coaching is that it helps us to unlearn these limiting beliefs, like a skilled gardener pruning away the unnecessary branches. The key is not to slay the parts of ourselves that make us feel small, but to help them grow into something grander. Like a caterpillar turning into a butterfly, it's about transformation.


Personal coaching teaches us to reach out to the parts of ourselves that feel small and instead, nurture them to become our Inner Giant. It's about embracing our past, learning from it, and then leaving it behind. In this process, our Inner Giant awakens, growing stronger and louder. This is how we transcend our past and reach our fullest potential.


Through personal coaching, I've seen people transform from doubting their abilities to becoming confident, resilient individuals. It's not a magic potion, though. It's a journey, often challenging, but always rewarding. Remember, even giants start as seeds.


To sum it up, personal coaching is like that caffeine shot that awakens your dormant Inner Giant, and believe me, I love caffeine. It's the key that unlocks your potential, transforming you from feeling small to standing tall.


And trust me, the view from up here is simply fantastic!
