"Everyone is gifted in some unique way.
Only by doing what we love can we achieve our magnificent best." - Ann McGill
Failed Genius
Situation - Mike introduced himself as a 55 year old failure about to retire.
He didn't know what he wanted to do with the rest of his life.
Problem - What Mike didn't know was that he was a creative right-brain intuitive generalist. This is why he had had so much difficulty functioning
in the logical left-brain world of analytical specialists that had been his profession. It's no wonder he felt dumb and inadequate most of his life.
Solution - Learning to access his inner wisdom, which he had never known existed, Mike discovered a doorway to his special strengths and talents.
Results - Mike felt like a new man. Retirement turned into an exciting journey of discovery. Soon he found his calling as a massage therapist.
Question - Are you taking advantage of your unique gifts and talents
to achieve your true potential?

"You already know 90% of what you seek. The challenge lies
in asking astute questions that cut through confusion and resistance."
- Ann McGill
Situation - Recognized as an expert in her field, Ellen kept putting off the book she yearned to write.
Problem - As a consultant in an ultra-conservative industry, Ellen hid -- especially from herself -- how much she was really a revolutionary at heart. Fearing loss of business if her "radical" ideas were known and rejected, she soft-peddled what she deeply believed would help companies achieve higher levels of excellence and achievement.
Solution - Finally acknowledging her special gifts and well-researched expertise, Ellen decided to give a few speeches to test the waters of opinion.
Result - Ellen was astounded at the enthusiastic response. People asked to buy her book, which was not yet written. Her business grew.
Question - Who in your life has the ability ... and the time ...
to ask astute clarifying questions
that stimulate innovative, transformative thinking?

"Problems are opportunities. Shortcomings can be strengths.
A change of perspective makes progress possible." - Ann McGill
Situation - David was concerned about his health and his business. Every day, by mid-afternoon, this hard-charging advertising executive felt drained and exhausted, unable to be creative and effective with consistent ease.
Problem - The situation was costing him billable hours.
Solution - After a single session David had acquired the skills necessary to husband his energies and pace himself. Now he could remain imaginative and efficient all
day long.
Result - David called two weeks later to say he had added an e-x-t-r-a two hours to his day! He was accomplishing more in less time, and enjoying life better
than ever.
Question - If you could increase your productivity 10-to-20%,

"Progress is faster, and easier, when we have
the valuable assistance of astute, caring people." - Ann McGill
Situation - Tina was so smart and capable people said she "walked on water." That was the problem. No one ... except Tina ... knew she could do better.
She didn't know how to access this unrecognized, unexpressed potential.
Problem - Tina lacked internal permission to be powerful and assertive, a problem many women share.
Solution - At last Tina dealt with the underlying reasons for her lack of permission.
She loved the games and experiences we played to allow her to "practice" being potent and compelling.
Result - Connecting power to capacity, within a year Tina started a new business, wrote a book, and found her calling as Success Consultant.
Question - Are you looking in the wrong place for the right answer?

"What would you attempt to do
if you knew you could not fail?" - Robert Schuller
Situation - Carol was terrified. Surgery was essential. Without immediate assistance she knew she would not follow through and get the medical treatment necessary.
Problem - Her fear was actually deeply rooted in childhood experiences.
She couldn't face those fears alone.
Solution - Once Carol fully confronted those long buried apprehensions, she broke through to a place of deep inner peace. She then learned techniques to help her manage her fearful thoughts and maintain her newly found
sense of inner calm and confidence -- even under stress.
Result - Without fear, surgery was a snap. The doctors were astounded at her jovial mood and rapid recovery. Carol had learned how to take charge
of her life and be the powerful person she always wanted to be.
Question - Do you know how to find the gifts hidden within
the challenges in your life?

"Unless we change our direction,
we are likely to
end up where we are we are headed." - Chinese Proverb
Situation - Lynne had been successfully earning her living as a full time Massage Therapist for the past
5 years. She knew the time was ripe to expand her business.
Problem - From prior experience, Lynne knew the process should be easy,
so why wasn't it happening?
Solution - By tapping into her intuitive inner wisdom -- where all best answers reside -- Lynne was able to realize it was not a marketing problem. The underlying issue turned out to be a dissatisfying relationship. Just as Lynne was holding herself back from asking for what she wanted from the man in her life, she was refusing to be assertive in the business arena as well.
Result - Even though we had never discussed her business, Lynne called a few weeks later to say it was taking off fast.
Question - Are you having difficulty finding the real solution
to an important problem?

"We cannot become what we need to be
by remaining what we are." - Max DePree
Situation - As Director of Human Resources for 20 years, Jackie had a great deal of public speaking experience.
Problem - Why, then, did she feel so stomach-churning afraid to make this particular presentation?
Solution - The best way to break through debilitating fear is to pretend the worst
is actually happening. Role playing allowed Jackie to go into the negative experience she so fearfully anticipated, and to learn how to handle whatever might happen.
Result - All nervousness was gone when the big day arrived. The managers unexpectedly accepted her upsetting news with calm equanimity.
Question - What do you do when anxiety and fear stop you cold
or undermine your intentions?

Boldness has genius, power and magic in it." - Goethe
Situation - What's happening in your life where it would be mighty helpful
to have capable, caring support?

Solution - Whatever the challenge, whatever the goal or unmet need, it can significantly speed and ease the resolution process to work with someone who has been there and knows how to lead others through to breakthrough.
