Ever Stood on the Edge of an Airplane, Heart Racing?
I have. That was me about 20 years ago… I found myself at 12,000 feet, standing at the open door of an airplane. Every nerve in my body was screaming, “Don’t do it!” My heart pounded, my hands shook, and a million thoughts raced through my mind: “Am I crazy? Why am I doing it to myself? What if the parachute doesn’t open? What if I fail?”
But I wasn’t alone. Two experienced instructors were holding on to me at first, ensuring I was safe. I took a deep breath and leaped into the sky. The first few seconds were pure free-fall panic, like plummeting into the unknown. Then – whoosh - the parachute opened, and the fear turned into something incredible: freedom, exhilaration, confidence. I wasn’t falling anymore. I was flying. And then slowly but surely, after some additional skydiving sessions, I was able to do it all by myself.
Skydiving taught me something profound. Yes, fear will always be there at the start of something big, but so is the support you need to take that leap.
As a coach, I’m the one standing by your side when you’re about to jump into the unknown. That same fear you feel when starting or growing a business, or when you are thinking about a career change - the doubts, the “what ifs,” the overwhelming sense of uncertainty - I know it well. But like those skydiving instructors who held on to me, I’m here to guide you through it.
In the beginning, I’ll be right there, helping you navigate the tough decisions, giving you the tools to succeed, and ensuring you land safely. But as you grow (your business, your career, your skills and abilities), that fear transforms into excitement, confidence, and self-trust. You’ll start to see your potential unfold. And eventually, you’ll be leaping on your own - soaring to great new heights of success with the knowledge and confidence that you can do it.
That’s what coaching is all about. It’s not just about surviving the leap; it’s about giving you the skills, mindset, and confidence to fly higher than you ever thought possible.
