Let’s BEGIN With a Question…

Where do Problems Come From?

Yes, where DO problems come from?

(And where do they go?)

Y’know, relationship problems, or career advice problems, or health and wealth problems, problems with motivation or application or discipline – or problems of the past (depression?), or problems with the future (anxiety?).

Where do they come from, these problems – ever wondered?

Do they come from…

  • A lack of knowledge?
  • A lack of skill?
  • A lack of understanding?
  • A feeling, or
  • A thought?

 

Problems: How I See Things

Okay, where I see problems coming from can be summed up by the following 3 inspirational quotes:

  1. “You are the only problem you will ever have and you are the only solution.”
    – Bob Proctor
  2. “We don’t see things as they are; we see them as we are.”
    – Anaïs Nin
  3. “If the only thing people learned was not to be afraid of their experience that alone would change the world.”
    – Sydney Banks

 

Yes, this is how I see things, when it comes to problems – any problems – that a person might want help with.

You may see thing this way too (great!), or at least be open to this perspective, or you may positively NOT see things this way (also great!)

But that’s what my coaching is all about.

 

Solutions: How I see Things

Coaching from the Inside Out – a phrase I “borrowed” from my mentor, Michael Neill, in 2012 – is what my coaching is based on.

So if you’re looking for step-by-step strategies to take you from Place A (problem place) to Place B (solution space), then I am not your man.

But if you’re wanting to look for the answers within, and also notice that the problems come from within too, then I may well be him.

Because noticing this source of both problem AND solution,  and continuing to look in that direction, inside, is, I feel, the only problem-solving game in town.

You get out of your own way, you make space for clarity, and you see “through” problems.

(And taking any necessary practical ‘next steps’ becomes a whole lot easier too, from this “look within” space.)

 

Begin Coaching with Me?

First, you might like to know what’s it like to be coached by me?

Essentially, you get to talk about your concerns and be listened to in a non-judgemental way.

Specifically, you talk to me then:

  • I might ask you questions, might ask you to explain yourself more
  • I might respond with an appropriate metaphor, analogy or perspective, or
  • I might continue to let you talk, then respond to what I’m listening to after that

The aim? To get you to see things in a new way; to get you to see what you’re really up against; to help you empower yourself.

To be clear, I have no coaching techniques to use on you, no “special questions” you’ll need to answer. It’s simply about you listening to your own wisdom, about you seeing for yourself, about you finding your own answers – and I help THAT happen for you.

But don’t take my word for it! YOU can now find out what it’s like for yourself, via a first, FREE 60-Minute 1-2-1 transformative, “coaching from the inside-out” conversation with me. A “taster” transformative coaching session that’s based on the Inside-Out Understanding shared here on SMNash.com.

All you have to do is fill in the short form below, then I’ll get back to you with details of how you can schedule a free, 60-minute (Zoom) call with me (if I feel it’s a fit):

Talking to Steve, in our conversations, is for me a moment to stop, calm myself and get on track again... His understanding, his kinds words and his way of seeing things has been very helpful to me. Thank you Steve for being the person you are, and for helping others with your work.

[BEFORE Coaching] At the start of the year, I...
- Had low confidence about myself as a professional and what I can offer
- Got stuck in ruts easily
- Felt lonely and disconnected from people around me
- Struggled to see how I'd form a career out of helping people without losing myself

[AFTER Coaching] Now, I....
- Can envision a future as a leader and entrepreneur, inspired by my own uniqueness
- Can intuit when to walk away from what no longer serves me
- Connect with people effortlessly and meaningfully, in a variety of ways
- Inspire others to help themselves by being an example of what I've learned
