The people this stuff is for (is this you?)

Hi! So I wrote this specifically for a very particular type of person I like to work with in my programs and coaching. I hope it’s clear that even if this page doesn’t speak to your heart, you can totally use my material to destuckify. So if this page isn’t so much for you, we’ll hang out later on the blog, okay?

So …

If you’re anything like most of my clients and students, you’re bright, thoughtful and creative. And possibly kind of kooky. I like the kooky.

You know your stuckified patterns are getting in the way of what you want. And that you have something amazing to share with the world. But yeah, the whole “putting it out there” thing can still feel weird and semi-icky.

Also the “promoting it” thing. Sometimes even just the “saying it out loud” thing.

And you really want to be able to stop second-guessing yourself so you can do the thing. The thing!

I’ll try to describe some of my Right People …

You’ve wanted to do something with your thing forever and it just isn’t happening.

You think about your thing (your music, your book, your art, your coaching …) all the time. You talk about it sometimes, but only to the people who absolutely won’t knock it down. You want to do it. And some of the time you even know you’re good enough, but the what-ifs are wearing you out.

You’re creative for a living (yay), but making the creativity happen on deadline is a freaking nightmare.

Overwhelming, anxiety-fueled procrastination is getting in the way of everything. Blech.

Or you already have a job that’s good for the world but you secretly want to be doing the thing.

Gaaaaaa! Guilt attack! What about all those people who need your help? What about your career? You worry about people judging you or thinking that you’re being selfish for concentrating on your own stuff rather than saving-the-world stuff.

You want to get biggified! You want to put your thing out there! But in a non-sleazy way.

All these coaches, marketing expert-ey biggifiers say you have to think bigger, and ew. You really do want to get the word out so you can help your Right People, but you don’t want to end up as one of these hype-ey highlighter-crazed internet people.

So in the meantime you’re erring on the side of subtlety and no one is getting it.

If that’s you-ish, let me tell you more about what my duck and I are looking for

Because we’re pretty particular about the kind of people we like to have in our programs.

You already know that the journey up the mountain is just as valuable as getting to the top. Sure, yay for the end result, but you’re also open to all the cool things you can learn about yourself along the way. You’ve been working on your stuff for a while now, and it’s time for all these pieces to fall into place.

And sometimes you still roll your eyes at the word ‘journey’.
I like to work with people who have a healthy dose of sarcasm. And goofiness. You’re open to playing with the wacky, but you’re not gullible. You interact with new ideas in an intelligent, careful way and you speak your mind.

That being said, you’re cool with a little wacky. And some body-mind stuff.
My right people like that I give them way more than traditional cognitive techniques. And they trust me not to drag them way out there into woo-woo land. And you know I will always meet you where you are.

You’re willing to put in time and energy to do the work.
Good!

You like the mindful thing.
Learning how to biggify yourself in a conscious, mindful way is a good fit with the way you want to live your life.

You have a vision.
You’ve already done some clarifying work about the direction. This is not a case of “maybe I want to write a novel, but I might want to teach kindergarten, but what about my poetry and I also want to become famous for interpretive macrame design”. You know more or less what your “thing” is about. Just maybe not how to get there or how you want it to take shape.

You have a personal practice. Or are willing to start one.
Could be yoga, dance, Aikido, meditation . . . maybe you’re a Shivanaut (awesome), but yeah, you’re into the idea of spending intentional time with yourself.

Might be you? You-ish?

Rock. On.

What happens now?
Well, if you’re new here, don’t give me any money! I mean, not yet. Take some time to browse the archives and hang out with me and Selma (my duck) on the blog before you decide to sign up for a program or something.

And if you’re all YES YES YES I am so one of your Right People ….
That is the coolest thing in the entire world.

So yeah, there are also courses and events, and stuff you can take home. And you can even occasionally hire my duck. I’m just glad we’ve found each other. And I am positive we will find a really good way to connect.

And can I just say … whooo! Right People! I like you. That is all.
