Life Coaching For Self Confidence: Get Your Happy Back

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 Coacing and Holiday Spending

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.

Life Coaching During a Crisis

There are two types of life coaching: 1) consistent life coaching for a person looking to work through a large problem, or 2) a set of problems and life coaching during crises.

The stakes are higher and there is a greater sense of immediacy for life coaching during a crisis. Coming to me with a generalized malaise surrounding your financial situation is different than coming to me hours before you’re about lose $300,000 on the market (while you and your wife are settling on a new mortgage).

There is undoubtedly a different tactic for each of those situations. I don’t want any misconception of life coaching to lead people into thinking that a life coaching or therapist doesn’t cater to the gravity of a situation.

We’re not going to be softly talking about your childhood mistakes for an hour if the situation demands immediate action. Bring any type of problem my way, 212-599-3195.

Life Coaching and Hypnosis

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.

Can a Small Business Owner Benefit from Corporate or Executive Life Coaching?

Coaching concept in sphere tag cloudRunning 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.

Their ambitious spirit encourages them to take risks in order to achieve the greatest reward- being your own boss.
