Nick Hansen

Hi, my name is Nick Hansen and I started with TCI in the March 08 intake. I love coaching, now more than ever, because in the last few weeks I’ve had some MAJOR transformations, were talking about spine tingling, bone shattering, my life can never be the same again, I think I need a new pair of underwear transformations.

So I started in the coaching course in March 08, excited to transform not only my life, but the lives of my clients too. I went to the intake where it was really exciting and learn absolutely heaps!

I started my triads really early and got a few done but found I really struggled with the coaching side. I was soo far out of my comfort zone, and I really didn’t know at all how to have a great session. So I thought that I must have to learn more, and I went to study.

I studied for weeks and weeks and one at a time applied new things into my coaching session, but I wasn’t really getting amazing transformation and I didn’t know why.

That was really frustrating and disheartening. I was in the session and I could see that they were in effect rather than cause or that they didn’t have any goals, and I was only able to make a tiny change in the session, that didn’t last with the client.

This happened for months and months until I just stopped studying, reading and my triads stopped. I didn’t consciously stop, I got a feeling that I didn’t want to do it anymore. It was almost like coaching was something I knew I had to do, but didn’t want to. I thought that perhaps this stuff doesn’t work for me; maybe that crazy Sharon had too many fruit loops for breakfast.

I got back into coaching because of an amazing coach, Anna Krups. I was really resistant in our first few sessions. Because she was a triad coach, I thought that she probably knows as much as I did, so how is she going to create transformation in me. (Harsh but true)

It was really hard to give up that, and I did it in one of our sessions when my whole life seemed to be crashing down around me, everything was going wrong. I just said to myself, ‘Nick, you need change, REALLY need it, so just let her know how your feeling, let Anna know that I’m feeling resistance.’ I did that and Anna asked me, ‘Nick let me know when your ready to move past it, I’ll be here.’ So I did (after 10 minutes of silence), and I felt heaps lighter, Anna did some amazing coaching and before I knew it I was having my first real amazing transformation.

Now that I’ve experienced transformational coaching, I really know it works. You can ‘know’ that something works because someone has told you or you’ve read it somewhere, and you can ‘know’ that it works, because you’ve been there. Before you even pick up a book and start reading, you’ve got some trash to take out of your own.

 

Take a leap, dive into the unfamiliar and if you don’t yet trust yourself enough to do it, trust me. Trust me because I’ve done it.
DO IT NOW, as soon as you finish reading this. I PROMISE that you will thank me for it. (Ask for a Probono coach, someone who is near the end of their course, Anna Krups, if she isn’t already booked out.
