Once a new client has been obtained, I do an over the phone introduction, to ascertain the specific needs of the client. And determine if we are a good fit for a working relationship.

While riding the train home for school, exhausted from the work load being a undergrad student, I fell asleep. A lady set next to me that I didn't know and woke me up, and begin to tell me about her day. To my surprise, she was looking for an ear and sound advice from an person that was outside of the situation. So, I talked with her.  Later on in that same week, another man that I had no previous contact with did the exact same thing as the lady. And that's when it hit me I need to change my major to counseling. 

I have coached and counseled people with relationship problems on all levels; break-ups, dating, pre-marital and marriage. 

If a situation is to be resolved with a positive outcome it requires complete honesty.  And most importantly, be willing to change behaviors and belief systems that contribute to the breakdown of the current situation.

How bad do I want things to change?

Am I willing to do whatever it takes, even if means being transparent and vulnerable?

What part do I play in the situation?

Am I the problem?

What role does others play in rectifying the situation?
