What is Personal Growth?

You can’t teach personal growth. This is why the books and the podcasts and the advice don’t ever completely work. Personal growth is the process of you getting in touch with your intuition, you inner GPS, and learning to trust and grow from it. Teaching is from someone else’s experience, their inner GPS, being put on you. And yours is different.

How do I know? Because of neuroscience. Scientists know that every brain is wired differently based upon the person’s genetics, experiences, thoughts and emotions.

It is literally impossible for someone else to be able to predict and recommend what exactly will work for you. But it is inside of you and you can unearth it.

I always find this so fascinating with my clients! Before I started being trained as a coach I thought that I would be teaching clients. That I would take all of my experience and expertise and knowledge and teach it to clients, and they would grow. My first day of coaching training I realized I had it all wrong. Coaching was really about me learning to guide while getting out of the way of my clients growth.

I see this in action every day with my clients and it never ceases to amaze me the ways that they grow! If I would have taught them and put them on a plan or a path, it would have been limited, but them walking their own paths is truly awe inspiring!

Please know, you are not doing it wrong if what you’re being taught doesn’t fit. You are not weak. You are not a failure. You are a unique and amazing being and your path is different.
