A Lightbulb Moment

Mechelle Rowe of Skylinecoaching.co.uk has been my coach for a long time. I loved her from the very beginning. But as someone who expects everything to happen almost instantly, I became frustrated with myself and my inability to see what Mechelle could see in me and what she was trying to get me to see.

This is an excerpt from a recent blog post by Mechelle: “Introducing my blog post inspired by the remarkable journey of one of my clients – let’s call her ‘Lulu’. Amidst the hustle and bustle of life, Lulu embarked on a quest for personal and professional growth, fuelled by a burning desire to unlock her full potential. Through our coaching sessions and the utilisation of my free resources – which Lulu kindly reviewed for me, she embraced the power of self-discovery and took ownership of her journey like never before.

Her story serves as a testament to the transformative power of coaching and the profound impact that individuals can achieve when they courageously lean into their own growth. Read my blog about the Coaching ‘Light Bulb’ moment, which is truly magical for the client and the coach”

I am ‘LuLu’……..!

I’ve had multiple sessions and exchanges with Mechelle, that very often involved me sounding like a broken record on many occasions. I always felt that I was meant to be getting somewhere; getting to a point or an understanding. I was always waiting for……’That lightbulb moment’!

Despite everything, Mechelle never gave up on me….she had faith in me and somehow believed that I would get to the place that she knew I needed to be.

Well, last week that happened! Without realising, I shared my thoughts with Mechelle and her response was ‘By Jove..she’s got it‘!! After joking with her, it seems this was the point she was waiting for me to arrive at 

What was that light bulb moment I hear you ask? Well…. it was the realisation that I was no longer the patient. I had spent so long referring to myself as a patient, be it current or former, it had become my identity. I was missing my ACTUAL identity and my purpose and by labelling myself, I was holding myself back. I realised that I needed to forge my own path and become the person that I both wanted and needed to be. I had been so busy trying to be like others or trying to be brilliant at things, that I had no idea who I actually was. I need to find my own identity and make my own path………..

So I’ve hit the first checkpoint, I’ve got the clarity of where I’m going……….on to the next checkpoint!!

I urge anyone struggling with direction or stuck in a rut to speak to Mechelle. She’s a genius!
