I first met Jonathan at my previous employer. He was working as a consultant to the Board of Directors, where I was part of the team as the Marketing Director. When we first met Jonathan’s mission was to help us build leadership capability and develop together as a high performing team and realise our full potential as a team and individually.
As part of my development journey, I was looking for a change - I wanted to look back on life when I'm 90 and know I'd lived my best life, and in doing so discover my true north. After some reflection, I decided to go after one of my life dreams - to sail around the world (even though I'd never sailed before!) The adventure and challenge was the most daring thing I have ever undertaken, including being shipwrecked with my crew off the coast of South Africa. We pulled together, supported each other and luckily we all survived the challenge. 48,000 miles later, we completed the full circumnavigation and returned to the UK with an incredible welcome home. But that’s when the challenges began for me.
Reintegrating into everyday life was tough having been out for a year, and after all the focus and adrenaline of the race, I hit an all-time low. In a nutshell, I felt lost and confused. For someone who likes to lead and be in control, this was my worst nightmare, in fact, perhaps a bigger challenge than the round the world yacht race! I felt stuck. That’s when Jonathan showed up for me. The Managing Director at my previous company, who had received great benefit from Reset therapy with Jonathan, encouraged me to reach out to Jonathan and experience the benefits myself. Jonathan asked me to prepare my list of gremlins, and I rocked up, not knowing what to expect. If anything, I was a little cynical but felt stuck with no way forwards and willing to give it a go. I could not believe the impact and change in feeling and mood post-treatment. The dark clouds lifted, and for the first time, I felt optimistic, with a renewed sense of self-belief, and from this point, a true north for me came onto the horizon. Through the process, I was able to resolve my gremlins and move forwards. I embarked on a new career working for a company with a noble social cause that floats my boat! And I have got clarity and peace of mind that I had never experienced before.
Sometimes in our lives, we get stuck, and we try and logic ourselves out of the feeling or situation, and it doesn’t work. If you can relate to my story, then I can definitely recommend the MindCoach. It put me back on my feet and is the best decision I ever made about taking responsibility for my mental wellbeing and creating the future I wanted.
