Working with Miles has allowed me to further discover and clarify who I am. The guidance he offers has helped me achieve incredibly positive changes in my life. So often Miles and I begin a coaching session where I have a mental block. Something has happened in my life that seems void of options and I can’t see how I or anyone else could make the situation any different than what it is. Miles doesn’t change the situation; he asks me questions that enable me to see possibilities and eventually find freedom. It is a remarkable and spiritual experience how he is able to find a way to speak to me through the chaos in my life and allow me to find or create order.
This likely requires more explanation but I wish to bring attention to a specific lesson I learned from Miles. The obstacles in my life, be it difficult people or challenging situations, used to affect me as a stone thrown into a puddle. Water would splash everywhere and the ripple effect could last for days. Miles introduced me to a new perspective. Instead of receiving the blows that life offers as a puddle, I’m training everyday to respond from the perspective of an ocean – it’s a visual that is tailored to my personality and my present career choice. It has absolutely changed everything.
“He asks me questions that enable me to see possibilities and eventually find freedom.”
This year I added a new dimension to my career path when I became an Internationally Certified Doula. It is challenging and rewarding work and the job requires a great deal from me physically and emotionally. Because of my work with Miles, I am better equipped to help women find empowerment within themselves. Miles has allowed me to discover and define the very core of who I am. This self-knowledge has given me direction and instilled a sense of peace unlike anything I’ve experienced before. Partnering with a life-coach isn’t selfish work. It’s necessary, thoughtful and responsible work. There are aspects of my life now that are a direct testament to Miles’ incredible giftedness as a life coach (and it doesn’t hurt that the guy’s a genius).
