Hi, my name is Dr. Errol Gluck. For the last 35 years I’ve been doing a combination of rational cognitive coaching and neuroplasticity which is medical hypnosis.
The concept of coaching is that we don’t label a person as being bad or good or being neurotic or depressed or anxious. What we do is we identify what is the resistance that is stopping a person from achieving their goals? We then lay out a plan, a very specific plan, of what steps need to be taken or what thoughts need to be changed.
Running a successful small business is one of the hardest things in the world. Whether it’s a 5 person, fledgling law firm or a catering business run out of your kitchen, keeping small business afloat in this current competitive market comes with it’s own set of challenges.
Most small business ventures are typically the brain children of individuals already living with an innate sense of drive and passion, but can’t bare the thought of being one minor cog in a giant corporate machine. Their ambitious spirit encourages them to take risks in order to achieve the greatest reward- being your own boss.
You are a high-powered businessperson who has already achieved a significant amount of success. You are the living epitome of the American Dream – working hard, supporting yourself, and fairly respected amongst your peers. However, settling for “good” is not the mindset that got you to where you are in the first place. You wouldn’t be the powerful executive you are now if you believed that success has firm limits.
A lot of the common understanding of life-coaching revolves around the up-tempo coach giving clear-cut advice on “getting your act together.” That is true to a great degree – there should be something of an uprising that a life coach should instill in you. But the first thing a life coach should do is reframe your life.
A lot of people come to my office thinking that their problems define their identity. This couldn’t be further from the truth. In no way, shape, or form are you ever, ever, ever your problem.
This is the first step of my life-coaching process — I get people to recalibrate their understanding of themselves. Self-perception is an important component to improvement. You can have all the ambition, good habits, and positivity, but if you still think of yourself as your own worst enemy, then that will limit where you can go. Call my office to reframe your identity.

When you come into my office for life coaching, I usually have to clarify the difference between three basic concepts: toleration, acceptance and desire.
Let’s backtrack. We all know what refusal is. That is the negative response to how you’re treated. If your husband is physically abusing you, you refuse it by leaving. If your wife is cheating on you for the 5th time, you refuse it. But the gray area comes with the varying levels of positive response to a situation.
What you may think you desire could be something you’re only tolerating. If your husband snores in bed and refuses to see someone about it, then you need to figure out if that little trait he has is something you desire, something you accept because it’s who he is and you love who he is, or something you’re only tolerating to prevent a fight.
A lot of people present a problem under the false assumption that they already know exactly how they feel about it. A life coach will help you see through the gray.
