Case Study 1: Insurance Executive Cuts Her Hours, Doubles Her Business
Problem
“Penny” owns a successful corporate insurance company and is in the top 5% of income earners in her field.
Her executive husband had retired from a 500 company and was unhappy that her business required her to work evenings and weekends. As you can imagine, this was causing friction in the family.
In her words . . .
I was stuck. I felt I had to work hard in order to deserve success. Like a hamster on a wheel, I kept doing more of same. I worked too much, too hard, too long. But, no matter how hard I worked, it never felt like I was doing enough. I was overwhelmed, overworked, overcommitted, stressed out and unhappy.
I was afraid of being judged. Things had to be perfect in order to get approval. So I would worry excessively over mistakes.
I doubted myself and avoided talking about it because who could I trust? I had trouble setting limits with my clients and allowed clients to place too many demands on me and my team. I took care of everyone’s needs at the expense of my own.
I felt not heard. On a personal level, I couldn’t forgive and move past some things that happened a long time ago.
Intervention
Through working with you, I discovered it was my subconscious belief systems that were keeping me stuck.
I learned that I was giving away my power, trying to please someone other than myself, letting somebody else be in charge. You asked me, “Who have you made the authority in your life?”
First, it was my teachers because I got no attention at home as a kid. Then it was my customers.
You set me free.
Now, life is easier. I am my own authority. I am in control of my life and my time and am enjoying life more. I’m not afraid of change any more. I trust and allow.
Now I give myself permission not to care what other people think. And it’s not my job to fix people’s problems.
Result
She sold a block of her business and divested a client who was taking advantage of her. Not only does she no longer work evenings and weekends, she takes Mondays and Fridays off as well (“that makes my husband happy”). And . . . she doubled her revenue.
It’s crazy! How could your simple approach be that life-changing? This is the best investment I ever made.
Case Study 2: Medical Equipment Representative Gets Her Life Back
Problem
“Linda” was a self-described “Type A+” who had been the company’s top performer in an all-male corporate sales arena. She was unstoppable. Until she wasn’t.
When she contacted me, she had been on disability since her body shut down five years earlier. She never left her home, was going through a lawsuit with her employer, had lost her self-confidence, self-esteem, and all ability to focus and concentrate. She reported feeling cursed.
She wanted desperately to “find that sweet spot of life again, where opportunity came to me and doors were opened.”
Result
“I think your model is correct. I think this is the best solution for your clients. I had 20,000 reasons I didn’t want to do it. I might have been tempted to quit at times. It hasn’t always been pleasant for me. I mightn’t have wanted to delve anymore and continue. There were times I had more energy after our sessions than I’d had in weeks. Other times, I had to decompress. But what kept me calling back was that I had paid you all that money.”
Linda won a near-half-million dollar settlement, based on salary + commissions. Left the corporate world and now makes her living with her own line of jewelry.
“There’s no way for sure that I could have done this alone. I stand by that, absolutely. You can quote me.”
Case Study #3: General Manager’s Increase in Confidence Results in 20% Increase in Pay
Problem
Before working together, “Mary” was stressed, anxious, and losing sleep over taking on extra responsibilities when she was promoted to General Manager. “Anxious about work” was 19th of 30 issues she wanted to resolve.
Result
Due to the number of challenges this client presented, it took 9 months of mentoring to resolve every issue.
I continue to feel happier overall (which is awesome).
I am much more confident. The responsibilities of the General Manager position feel lighter than they otherwise would have. I have moments of pressure, but most of the time, I feel “I’ve got this. I’ll figure it out.”
There’s less overwhelm because I’m not feeling so stressed about things.
Because of our work together, I see solutions, I’m more decisive and take definitive action. I’m more efficient in the use of my time. I get more done.
My increase in confidence means I’m more valuable to my company. And that has increased my income by more than 20%.
Case Study #4: Airport Executive Releases the Weight of Negativity
Problem
Jill had never made the connection that her negativity and resistance to coaching were connected to her relationship with her dad.
I built up a wall to not allow myself to get hurt with my father’s words. Because the way he wanted to instruct me was always condescending and hurtful. I found a way to put up a block so I wouldn’t be hurt. I thought it was good because I didn’t acknowledge anyone to hurt me. It worked beautifully.
I could not believe how overwhelming that was for me. That was powerful.
I’m really excited that you uncovered this. I purposely didn’t do what he told me to do. I can see the humor in it now.
That was a big change. My whole body physically feels different. I had a really big release.
Result #1
“I can’t express to you what you have done for me today. I don’t have the words. I just feel so good and light, so happy. I’m just enjoying this moment.
It’s so easy to get stuck in the negativity without realizing that you’re being negative. It was an aha moment when you told me that trying to prevent injury in jujitsu was negative. The idea of moving toward freedom rather than away from injury changes everything.
Result #2
“I’m feeling like a weight has been lifted from me. I’m a different person than when we started working together. Our work has opened so many doors . . . work, relationships, moving toward freedom rather than away from injury in jujitsu. I couldn’t be happier with my progress. My life has just got better and better every week. And this has been another amazing week on every level.
Result #3
I’ve lost 65 pounds since we started working together.
Result #4
Jill was awarded the rank of black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
I prefer your way of working to every method I have used.
Result #5
She received an expected and unprecedented bonus at work.
CASE STUDY #5: Entrepreneur Conquers Imposter Syndrome
My client “Mary” who co-owns an 8-figure international business, came to work with me for personal reasons unrelated to the business.
Problem
It soon became evident that she had every symptom of imposter syndrome. Not only did she feel held back by a lack of confidence, in spite of her hard work, she felt she did not deserve the success she had achieved. And that success came at a very high personal and emotional cost.
Intervention
Every session consisted of clearing out old patterns rooted in a difficult childhood. She called it “mind reprogramming.”
At work, her lack of confidence was most evident in the boardroom, where she was unable to present her ideas for fear of having them shot down.
Result #1
Mary found the confidence to present her idea for a new line of products.
She had what she described as a “massive internal shift in the boardroom”:
I no longer feel put on the spot. I’m more productive and assured. Last week, it was almost like an out-of-body experience. During my presentation, someone challenged me. This time – it was like a miracle – I didn’t feel attacked. It was like someone ese took over. It was just so wonderful and freeing and empowering.
Result #2
Two weeks later, Mary reported that the creative idea she proposed that day is a big hit.
The impact on the company of this new product line is a projected revenue increase of $250,000 to $500,000 per year. And that amount is expected to grow each year.
I can’t thank you enough. It’s incredible. We’ve cleared so many things, there are no longer the same triggers at work. Work gets done faster.
Everybody should be doing your mind reprogramming!
