My Approach

Are You A Talented And Successful Person Who Is Getting In Your Own Way?

Ask Yourself The Following Questions:

• Do you know what your next step in life should be, but you can’t quite seem to get there?

• Do you know you can be more confident and effective, but your approaches haven’t worked and you are down on yourself for it?

• Do you want to act in ways that are more authentic to you, but instead you feel vague about your decisions, stressed, or living for others?

• Is there at least one person in your life who makes you feel disempowered - you take their behavior personally and it makes you feel locked-in to your situation?

• Do you feel like you get caught up in your daily life, and you have drifted away from your passion and from the person you know you can be?

People come to me when they can see the next steps for themselves, but they just can’t seem to get there. They are ready to “be done” with the sense of futility and frustration that comes from not achieving their potential. The methodology I’ve developed gives you an understanding of what you are doing to get in your own way and has concepts and exercises to systematically overcome every roadblock to having success in your career. Just as important, you also develop deep satisfaction and a sense of fulfillment with your successes. The exercises are fast acting and achieve sustainable results - you’ll never go back to the “old way” once you do these exercises. Most clients and workshop participants say that the techniques they learned are faster, more powerful, more life changing, and more sustainable than any other therapy, coaching, or workshops they have experienced.

That is because once you have an effective relationship with yourself, no one - not even you - will be able to stop you from having the life you’ve always wanted.

How you ‘get in your own way’:

When individuals come to work with me it is often because they have had a “way” of approaching their work and personal relationships that has gotten them to their current level of (often substantial) success; however, continuing in the same career path or in their same characteristic “way” will not yield having it all — a career situation that is lucrative yet also satisfying, and personal relationships that have ease and fulfillment. A variation on the 80 – 20 rule says “success is 80% psychology, 20% mechanics”. When people want to make a change in their career or personal effectiveness, most
try to change their “mechanics”, such as habits, communication, job search tactics, etc. I help you create momentum in your “psychology” — starting with a deep sense of confidence, clarity, and self trust — so that your implementation of “mechanics” puts you on a fast and stress – free route to the results you want.

If you are “getting in your own way”, what that means is that without realizing it you often think, feel, and act in ways that are not in the service of ‘who you want to be’, nor in the service of the results you want for your career and life. You may doubt, pressure, or criticize yourself. Fear, guilt, or anger may block your moving forward. Characteristic behaviors may include, among many others:

• spending energy helping others rather than crossing your finish line
• procrastinating or being indecisive
• “overachieving” to prove your competence
• pressuring yourself to be perfect at cost to you
• avoiding difficult situations
• wasting time on “busy work” instead of big picture solutions
• repeating patterns that make you feel trapped in your current circumstance

The process I guide you through will reprogram your mind and your behavior patterns for external successes and internal satisfaction.

What I do: The Direct Path process

Through a series of structured discussions and exercises, I help you understand how and why you do what you do now, and give you a step by step program for how to do it differently. From 10 years of research at Harvard Medical School and work with other successful people, I have developed a process that will systematically dismantle your roadblocks and provide you with a toolkit of skills to achieve your highest aspiration for yourself.

Within 90 days, you will have the following:

• Confidence to pursue your highest goals and a feeling that you are “enough”.
• Clarity about your next steps and the ability to focus on their achievement
• Ability to make quick and effective decisions in situations at the micro level
  (how to handle difficult situations) and the macro level (the right next career move)
• Efficient use of your time, not wasting time and energy on tangential tasks
• Improved self – management: less reactive, more poised under stress
• Satisfying relationship communication; acceptance of and influence over others
• Experience that you are “in control” of your life

A key aspect of the process is that it equips you to be less concerned about “what others think” and teaches you how to find what you need not so much from others, but in yourself. You build a strong positive conviction about who you are and what you want. In short, working from the inside – out, the process accelerates your ability to “be who you want to be” so that your efforts begin to yield the results you want for your career and life.

“Your process is life altering at the foundation, and the transformation happens fast. It shows how you’ve developed an adaptation to external circumstances that affects every area of your life. Then you get a chest of tools to move forward and be different. It makes you much more effective in your job, reduces your stress, and brings you happiness and satisfaction in your life. Your process cuts through the noise and clutter. It’s not a band – aid, everything has changed for me and the changes get better over time. The ROI is huge!”
Ranaan Miller, CTO, Sionex Corp.
