Describe a recent event you are fond of.
We recently worked with two different executives who are very successful, but were experiencing anxiety and panic attacks when they would have to speak at meeting or in front od an audience. They quickly learned how to relax in those situations and be confident. Also worked with two different retired Marines who are policemen. Both had head injuries and PTSD. They both complained that they had trouble sleeping. They each fell asleep in their first session. Their PTSD is now gone, their head injuries have been healed and they are functioning at a very high level. One said that he has never been this relaxed in his life before.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a pro in your area of expertise?
In evaluating a provider, you should find out what kind of results that provider gets and how quickly does that usually take. Also you should feel in good rapport with that provider and have confidence that they have a process that will help you get what you want.
What questions should customers think through before talking to pros about their needs?
A client should think about what they want to get out of working with someone and are they willing to do the work required and are they willing to take responsibility for themselves and their growth and not be just blaming it on someone else. we are the creators of our lives and we empower our clients to know how to successfully create what they want.
