Lean On Me, Your Life Coach

Posted on November 18, 2013 by Dr. Errol Gluck

There is a lot of negativity surrounding any type dependence on other people. It’s a very American thing to not want to rely on anyone else to get by, and there’s a strong urge to be totally independent.

This type of thinking taken to the extreme, however, provides a hotbed for addiction.

When you have no one to turn to or no one to unload on, your pent-up emotions start to wear on you. That’s when you begin to self-medicate with drugs, alcohol, and other addictions.

I’m not saying all addictions stem from forced independence, but the former is a likely symptom of the latter. There’s no shame in needing others—in fact it’s the key to a prosperous life.

Talk to a family member or a friend, even a stranger if the moment is right! Of course, when you start to see me, you will lean on me for help; I wouldn’t expect otherwise! You’re not paying me to watch you get better on your own. I could care less about who is responsible for your improvement; my main goal is that you improve—successfully and permanently. If it takes leaning on me or anyone else, to get there, then so be it! 212-599-3195.

I have been working as a Life Coach for over 35 years, and throughout my experience I’ve heard a lot of incorrect assumptions about people’s expectations of what they think a Life Coach does or is supposed to do. Allow me to set the record straight about Life Coaching and clarify what we do here at Gluck Solutions.

Life Coaching For Self Confidence: Get Your Happy Back

Posted on November 14, 2013 by Dr. Errol Gluck

Do you like your self? I mean- really and truly like the person you are? Ever look at yourself in the mirror and feel unhappy about what you see? Ever avoid mirrors completely, to avoid triggering thoughts of self-loathing all together? Do you feel like you don’t know who you really are, and what you do know about yourself you aren’t particularly proud of?

You know what- it’s ok. It’s completely normal to experience phases of self-doubt from time to time. Moments of self-consciousness is part of the human experience- you are always your own worst critic. However, if you have zero sense of your self worth and are completely lacking in self- confidence, then this is not a way to live.

Life Coaches Who Use Unconventional Strategies For Their Clients’ Benefit

Posted on November 13, 2013 by Dr. Errol Gluck

As a life coach, I like to use whatever strategies will get my clients to achieve their goals.

I recently came across an article about a life coach who uses horses to communicate with her clients. She had a revelation, and followed it for the betterment of her clients.

Life Coacing and Holiday Spending

Posted on November 12, 2013 by Dr. Errol Gluck

Surprisingly enough, the holidays are right around the corner. I’m not here to burden you with more life-coaching advice on how to handle the stress of seeing family. I’m here to talk financial management.

Because holiday shopping feels so generous, it’s easy to ignore the budgetary constraints. Wanting to make your family feel loved with good presents might max out the credit card.

One thing I tell my life coaching clients around the holidays is to set a budget and stick to it. If that means only spending $10-$15 a person (immediate family excluded), then make do with what you have. Get creative. Put heart into it. Write a poem. You don’t have to buy your great aunt whom you’ve never met an expensive cologne.

Gift-giving is not about the price tag, but about a specific communication. What does your gift communicate? Is it trying to make a family member laugh? Is it trying to help someone heal? How subtle is it? Gifts are nuanced things — so remember to treat them as such.
