A Makeover for you!

Do you enjoy makeovers? 

Do you often try to find ways to improve the way you show up in the world?

Have you had an experience that allowed you to massively improve who you are, one that provided loads more happiness?  If not, keep reading.

I was reminded of such personal transformations this morning as I took some time to resuscitate a flower arrangement that was looking quite stale. A friend had given me a large bouquet of lilies and roses a week ago that was starting to fade. The roses were sagging, heads down and color dull; the lilies were also melting, although several blooms are still unopened.

My daughters tease me about my relationship with flowers. I love flowers and buy them often for my own enjoyment.  I can’t help but remake the original arrangement multiple times, extending their possibilities and my joy. 

I realized this morning that it is a pattern with me, much like my view of life. 

There are always more beauty and possibilities hiding in every situation. Let me explain.

Regarding these flowers, first, they arrive, fresh and fabulous. A few days later, they are invariably drooping. Since I detest dying flowers,  I’ll sort and snip till the bouquet is looking fresh again.

A few days later, they’ll be trimmed again, this time much shorter and then tucked into a different vase that better accentuates the now smaller arrangement.

Days later, the same process. Depending upon the buds chosen, I usually have at least four different experiences with the flowers that I select. 

To me, it’s part of the joy of flowers. There is always another look, another experience, when I do the work to help them transform.

I find people to be similar. I meet a client who appears one way and, after only a few weeks of connecting within herself, she begins to look subtly different. 

Weeks later, when she’s chosen to shed a story she’s been attached to for many years, she feels liberated and changes the way she carries herself. 

Months later, when she’s fully aware of her own beauty and power, she begins dressing differently, accentuating her natural beauty instead of hiding it, having become comfortable in her own skin.

So many things begin to shift as her passions are resuscitated and she connects with her soul where the truth of who we are resides.

Transformation is a remarkable thing to witness.  Yet it can’t be done hastily or without deliberation. 

Transformation occurs with great consciousness and an attitude of anticipation,  taking into account all the light waiting to be seen below the surface of what currently is. 

Michelangelo is said to have been asked how he came to create The David, one of his most world-renowned sculptures. He replied that he didn’t create The David but rather that he saw The David in the stone and painstakingly worked to release it.

This is transformation. This is how coaching works with me. I help my clients make-over their careers, their lives -  releasing the excellence already within them. Step by step, session by session, you too can excavate the most brilliant version of you.

I like to think that I’m a transformational artist. For now, I’ll settle for the title “see-er of potential” - knowing deeply that I am someone who invests the time and attention needed to make reinvention real.

If you’re struggling to find beauty in your work and life, Don’t just settle for a cosmetic change. Your real potential is waiting. Don’t let it die on the vine. Book a complimentary session with me HERE and decide to release your greatness.

Here’s to you and your evolution!
