Sue has been working for several years in a veterinary clinic. She feels that she needs a change. She wishes to express her potential and create a more meaningful life with more freedom and quality time for her loved ones. But she is not sure what else she can do and what the future might look like. As a result she remains stuck in an unfulfilling situation and is afraid of making a move.

Maybe you are like Sue? Maybe you feel you need to find a new direction in life or at work. But stepping out into the unknown might seem scary.

Change is often perceived as a threat. Most of us prefer a familiar situation even if it is unpleasant, rather than have to deal with the unknown. Being aware of this can help us take the necessary action to implement those changes that we actually desire.

It is fear of change that makes us procrastinate and postpone taking action to realise our wishes and dreams. We keep postponing happiness for a future moment that never comes.

When our desires and our imagination become conflicted, imagination will always win. Let me explain. Imagine walking along a wooden board placed on the ground. Pretty easy, you will agree. Now imagine that this wooden board is placed 10 meters above the ground. Would you feel comfortable walking on it? Probably not, as your imagination creates images of you falling.

Creating a new future was for Sue like walking on this board 10 meters above the ground. She kept thinking of the potential for failure. So what she did with the help of her coach was to use her imagination to “lower” the board to a level that was comfortable for her as a starting point. She took a step by step approach that gave her the feeling of safety, even as she was mentally gradually elevating that board above the ground.

A good coach is fundamental in supporting us through an important change.
