//WHAT WE TALK ABOUT:
—How to identify survival tools we use when in relationship with ourselves and others, and how to work with clients that are bringing survival tools into their experience.

—How to cultivate more authentic relationships with clients starting with developing our listening skills, adaptability skills, and customization of our process that will ultimately help others experience more sustainable results.

—Ways to support your clients in cultivating their own answers instead of projecting your own experiences onto them.

—How to let go of the pressure to be perfect as a space holder and bring in your humanity instead. 

—How to offer clients various styles of invitation, approaches and perspectives to consider as a way to support them in experiencing transformational healing and results.

—Ways to identify what your client actually needs in order to thrive and create an inclusive environment that supports them in exploring their gifts in a way that helps them to access their needs in their own way.

//MOST LOVED QUOTES FROM EPISODE:
We cannot break free using the same tools that created the prison.

When someone liberates themselves by getting to the answer themselves and you're just there helping to facilitate it is so much more powerful.

I am the mirror for your experience that is not judging what you're saying to me.

It is our job as a facilitator creating an experience to provide lots of different ways for someone else to empower themselves to see how they heal, learn or change. Everyone is different.

Observe your client, understand their way of learning, and then deliver to them opportunities to thrive through the lens of their own genius. We are all geniuses if we just allow ourselves to learn the way we are supposed to learn.

Expert teaching and fast results removes the humanity and the truth of the experience which is that no one arrives. We are just becoming more aware and more ourselves.
