Value greater than money! :)
When a friend gifted me with a few sessions with Mehrdad, (I thought) I was struggling with money issues.
When I first received this gift, I was extremely skeptical- I thought "How is this going to make any difference?!? Just give me the frickin' money!"
Little did I know that I was about to embark on a four month (far beyond the initial gift) journey of self discovery and learning which would reveal that indeed, what I've got are, lo and behold! Self worth issues, masquerading as net worth (money) issues!
Well, then.
When you get to the heart of the matter, you can affect changes in the heart.
I've had a fair number of coaches in various work, sports and personal capacities.
I've never had a more effective, compassionate, connected coach (even in the face of my own willful unwillingness)! Boy, am I a handful.
Sorry, Mehrdad!
Once Mehrdad and I got comfortable (very quickly), I gave him explicit permission to say ANYTHING to me, at any time.
After that baseline permission was established, and he figured out that I really would be open to whatever he said to me, we VERY swiftly got to the root of the challenge.
The only possible "complaint" I might have?
As a careful and proper person, Mehrdad would prefer not to offend anyone, and he's very conscientious about his communications being well received.
I think he needs to trust his amazing abilities just a bit more, and let himself say the things that *might* be perceived as offensive.
He's so good at seeing what's true, I wished he would just blurt things out!
And, the result?
I wish I could say the self worth issues are a thing of the past, and...
Well, I'll keep coaching with him, and let you know! read more
